| ATC SCM12 and 50wpc Manley Stingray? Misskuma, 40Watt push and pull tube amp is a little under powered. I've driven it with McIntosh MC240 and the speaker can kill the amp when you crank it up. I'm currently using a 55 Watt push and pull and it is the best I've ever heard out of the ... | |
| Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made? SET EL84 amp for $26 fully tubed with GE tubes. One of best sounding amp I have heard ( Jadis SE-300b is more romantic but not in terms of dynamic and the price tag.) Compared with Sun Audio SV3 on JBL horn system and it blewed the Sun Audio away ... | |
| What's to prefer; tube preamp or tube amp? I found tube gear adds more life to the music.As far as integrated goes, it works but can be better.Seperate power source usually works better. You get better dynamic and less heat issue with preamp+amp combo.From Tube FAQ," Tube is a totally mech... | |

| Tube Preamps under $1000 used Music Reference RM-5 MK III. This is nice preamp for the price. Great phono and line stage. Many user don't know how to match this preamp with their amp. It's great for solid state amp not tube amp. | |
| Pre-Amp Recommendation Counterpoint SA5000 $1500send it back to Mike Elliot at Alta Vista to add the balance out. ($250) | |
| Someone help me Sound Too Thin ????? I prefer Amperex 6DJ8 because it sounds more dynamicFor some reason, the Mullard is more lay back. | |
| Looking for an amazing preamp under $700 used Music Reference RM-5 MK III is a sleeper since most of folks don't know much about the designer Roger Modjeski.It uses 1 tube for line stage and 2 tubes for phono.It has DIP switch wich allows you to adjust gain from 19DB to 35DBVery solid build w... | |
| Good SET Tube Amp for $1500? Music Reference RM10 in triode modeThis is a great amp for the price.I own a SET amp modified by Roger Modjeskiis it's the greatest investment ever.Ran in on JBL horn system and it blew theSun Audio 2A3 away especially in high frequencyand bass ex... | |
| Someone help me Sound Too Thin ????? Btw, the mullard 6DJ8 is identical to the early Amperex 6DJ8s. I have both and they sound identical to me. | |
| Someone help me Sound Too Thin ????? Sovtek 6922 is always thin. I would try Amperex 6DJ8 instead of 6922s. Same goes for the EL34 tubes. You'll find Amperex EL34 more enjoyable. Speaker cable and interconnect does play some role here. Try few cables out there from dealer would help. | |
| Best small speaker The Reference 3A MM De Capo will not work well with your 75W tube amp. Look for a pair of used ATC SCM10( need a stand) for around $1000 to $1500 depends on the finish. If you want bigger sound, get the SCM20T. I found the JM Labs a bit analytical... | |
| Speaker Cables? Your input kindly requested. Don't bother with transparant MW Super interconnect. Just to clearify, I have the MW Supwer SPEAKER CABLE not interconnect because the interconnect is dark and muddy to my system. | |
| Want More Bass Vertewax, You definitely need larger speakers if you want more bass at lower volumes. It's the physical property of the cone size and the cabinet design that is not going to provide you any more than the physical limitation. Try at least 10" bass ... |
