| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @atmasphere Balanced outputs are not a major consideration. More of a nice to have. | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions And another Preamp enters the ring. The Linear Tube Audio microZOTL Preamplifier. The preamps I am seriously now considering are:Rogue Audio RP-7Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3Linear Tube Audio microZOTLAll these preamps have a few things in the common. T... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @georgehifi I take your point there. Someone on another message board mentioned how they heard D7s with a Primaluna Dialogue HP at a dealer. They ended up buying the D7 as a result! So i think one thing that will trump what *might* be an issue wit... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @1markr The sheer number of permutations there are for a pre and power amp combo is staggering. At least you've taken some uncertainty out of one of the combos i'm leaning toward. Thanks for chiming in! | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions The Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 has joined the conversation for the preamp. I e-mailed the company and got a prompt reply, so good start there.Very sexy looking too! https://backertlabs.com/rhumba-1-3-preamp/ | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @kren0006You are right about the break in. It is happening slowly for sure, but I am hearing the difference as time goes by.I have been looking at ARC as well. The ARC LS28 preamp is definitely interesting, but a bit pricy at around $4800 on the u... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @three_easy_payementsThanks for the feedback.How do you like the midrange and treble of the D7s with the Pass Labs vs. the Cary tube amp?My volume knob rarely goes past 10am with this amp with a digital source. Vinyl can push it to around 11am. | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @photomaxAh yes - D9s. I knew that! | |
| Rogue RP-7 vs. PrimaLuna Dialogue Tube Preamps Did you end up getting one of the Preamps mentioned here? | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @photomaxCongrats on the new amp! Is it brand new or used? Please share some thoughts on the pairing with the D7 once you've run them in. | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @three_easy_paymentsYes, i realize that low end grip might be compromised some with a tube amp. But I've read that newer tube amps from Primaluna and Rogue do not sound like the tube amps of yore...maybe I can find a dealer nearby that will let me... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions Hi @georgehifi Thanks for the suggestion here. The impedence of that stereophile graph really doesn't rise until 10khz. A 10khz tone is VERY high pitched. Not much music above 10Khz so that impedence graph doesn't really bother me.Definitely consi... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @atmasphereYes I agree with that. That's pretty much how I've been building my system slowly over time.And the D7s are sounding better and better as the days go by with my musical fidelity integrated. This is allowing me to be rather patient with ... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @avanti1960 Howdy. Yes the RP-5 and RP-7 are on the shortlist for sure. I've heard good things about the Stereo100, but I think I going to avoid Rogue Audio for the power amp. Reading that I will likely need to change the tubes more frequently. Au... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? @atmasphere You really nailed this question. It's all about matching amp to speaker efficiency. And amplifier has a sweet spot in it's distortion vs. power curve. I've got a 500 watt integrated amp (which I bought in 2015) that I now realize is to... |
