| PS Audio BHK lacking.. SurfmuzI owned a Parasound JC2 for several months. I kept it long enough to make sure it was completely broken in. I couldn’t wait to terget rid of it. I found it to be just mediocre at best. Very polite and very boring. With regard to your questi... | |
| PS Audio BHK lacking.. Hi fertguyIf you try some high quality nos tubes in the BHK Signature preamp it will transform that preamp into a very good sounding preamp. Either a 12 volt 12au7 from either Telefunken, Mullard, Amperex or Siemens from the 50’s or the 60’s shoul... | |
| Recommendations for power amp placement/dampening roberjermanYou told Jred, and I quote, “don’t listen to scothurwitz, your amp doesn’t need damping”. First of all, I never said it needed damping. All I told him was when I tried a 3” piece of butcher block under a piece of equipment, it made it s... | |
| Recommendations for power amp placement/dampening Hi jredI personally would not bother with the butcher block, when I tried it, it made things sound worse. They are also not cheap. If it were me, I would spend the money on one of the many isolation footers out there. Some of them are expensive bu... | |
| Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ? Hi everyonePass labs amps are really great in my opinion, I feels it’s possibly their best products out of everything they build. Their phono preamps are very good as well, their line preamps not so much. I have a close friend who owns a hifi stor... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Hi everyoneI to am very interested in hearing the LTA amps. As you all probably know, these are all David Bernings designs implemented by Linear Tube Audio at much more reasonable price points. David Berning is a brilliant designer and engineer wh... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Hi everyonePass Labs class ‘A’ amps, to my ears, are magic. I have owned the xa30.8 and I just love it. My speakers are extremely inefficient (83db) and it not only drives them effortlessly but it always remains so musical. I have a tube preamp fo... | |
| A warm DAC? Hi larseandyou didn’t mention budget so I’ll guess between $1000.00 - $2000.00? I would look at the Border Patrol dac which is supposed to be a very nice sounding dac that is designed for regular red book cd’s. This company makes amps that sell fo... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system Hi everyoneHas anyone tried to run two separate sets of speaker wires from a stereo amp to the two sets of binding posts on the LFT8B’s? My dealer says this makes a huge difference. Right now I’m using one set of speaker wires with the same wire f... | |
| To all PS Audio BHK preamp owners *** must read *** Earth tones & rodman99999I agree with both of you, I think it probably reduce the life expectancy of the 12 volt tubes. My goal was to see if I heard enough improvement in sound quality to warrant leaving it at the 5ma setting and I did. I don... | |
| To all PS Audio BHK preamp owners *** must read *** Tomcy6It’s cool that you at least tried it. I was using some early 1960 Telefunkens and I heard the improvements right away. I recently had some Amperex nos 7308’s from the early 60’s I’ve been dying to try so I put those in and changed the voltag... | |
| To all PS Audio BHK preamp owners *** must read *** AberyclarkI never once implied that you don’t know how to set up a system, I was simply asking a question. If you go back and read your original post on this subject (you know, the one I noticed you deleted) that’s what it sounded like based on yo... | |
| To all PS Audio BHK preamp owners *** must read *** AberyclarkIs your turntable on top of the preamp? Is it not possible for you to just take the preamp off the shelf to access the panel that needs to be removed to get to the tubes and jumpers? If you do have the turntable on top of the preamp this... | |
| To all PS Audio BHK preamp owners *** must read *** Hi earthtonesI’ve been listening to the BHK pre for over 2 years now so I know it’s sound well. I’ve always used the 12au7’s. After the first 4-5 months I changed the factory tubes to some nos early 60’s Telefunkens and those tubes transformed tha... | |
| best power conditioners under 4k Hi saxaudio1Don't you love it when you ask a simple question and most of these people don't answer your question? If I wanted to buy a power conditioner my 1st choice would be the Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2. They just came out with this new model a... |
