| Tired of Problems with Tube Equipment 02-11-09: RlwainwrightTake a good look at Butler's tube/MOSFET hybrid amps - sweet tube sound coupled with the balls of the MOSFETs. And, because he is running the tubes at only 5% of their rated output, the tubes are supposed to last more than 20... | |
| Drawer problem in Mark Levinson 39 cd processor Call Madrigal tech and they have a re-calibration step that possibly might help? They were very helpful with me when I had my Proceed CDD. Also might want to search here and Audio Asylum. Goodluck. | |
| Best integrated to drive vandersteen 2c's Jeff...I have seen them for $800 used. Consider the YBA YA-201 also. | |
| $5000 integrated budget: Please help me choose.... 02-07-09: StereoThe Karan is a great integrated. I sold mine because it had no pre outsGiven the price of the Karan and no pre-outs is rediculous IMO. | |
| Best integrated to drive vandersteen 2c's What about the YBA Integre DT??? It has duel transformers hence the DT designation. | |
| Mullard 12AX7 re-issue Cryo vs Non Cryo You might want to add NOS 50's GE triple mica black plates to your list. I tried the RCA and liked them but overall I thought the GE's were a tad smoother or lush and not quite as dry sounding. Don't get me wrong the RCA's were good but I just pre... | |
| Best tube amp $2000-2500? BAT VK55. | |
| Power cable for Cary front end ? I had an Audience. It is a nice cord but there was something sterile about it in my system. Its not bad at all but just not the sound I wanted. I tried it on my CDP and amp. I liked the Shunyatas better. | |
| Power cable for Cary front end ? You will get alot of recommendations here. My suggestion is search the archives and on Audio Asylum. Then decide on how much you want to spend? Goodluck because there are lots of good choices like Shunyata Taipan Helix VX, Python VX, AirSine, etc.... | |
| Power cable for Cary front end ? Try a different brand other than PS Audio. What is your budget? I use a VH Audio AirSine on my CDP with really good results. | |
| Marantz pm11s2 ??? I have read the bass on the s1 is a bit weak. Not sure if this is true or not because some listeners might be used to bloaty bass or not accurate bass notes. What are your thoughts? I have been really interested in this amp for awhile along with C... | |
| Marantz pm11s2 ??? The 11s2 is a little out of my range right now but is it THAT much better than the s1? | |
| Best high end monitors? Ty's speakers like tubes Jp1208. When I finally introduced tubes in my system a few years ago I realized what I had been missing. | |
| Best high end monitors? The D3 will be my next speaker along with a sub. I interpreted your description wrong and I understand what you mean now. Transparency does not always mean brightness. I can't stand brightness. IMO I consider most Thiels on the bright side. You mi... | |
| Marantz pm11s2 ??? How much better is it than the pm11s1 and how is it different? Thanks! |
