| Valvet E1R Mono Amps sure thing, boxer12. I like digging up any info -- but can't really find any info on him although he may well be on linked in. Im no longer registered on that site so couldn't follow up.. | |
| Valvet E1R Mono Amps Im finding that apparently a Mark Porzilli was the most recent person to offer services on Melos. It would seem from what I have read that he was original designer for Melos . There is a site called The Memory Player 64 which he was inv... | |
| Valvet E1R Mono Amps Sounds like you got a good deal on these esp being mono's makes it that much better. The prices on their amps have continued to rise it would appear and not sure they carry these anymore .. re/your phono stage--- SF built quality equipment.... | |
| Valvet E1R Mono Amps boxer12, I had always wondered about this brand and their amps --assuming that these are their operating in class A amps. @ 10wpc I would assume that but want to be sure we are talking about the same thing as I haven't googled the model yet.... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps I would just cut to the chase and go Pass Labs. The integrity and dedication of this man over the years, and his willingness to share with the DIY community, and the consistent quality of his product makes it almost a no brainer IMO. I have... | |
| Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player? I just looked up your ARC CD2- It uses the Philips CDM12.4 which is production post CDM9.. Whether this is relevant is a good question esp if the laser quit. Often a vintage good vintage deck can be found because so many are going to mus... | |
| Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player? I have 3 vintage transports. I bought these based on what transport mechanism was used back when they were made. Being that in some quarters it is said that the last best mechanism made by Philips was the CDM9 (standard or pro) And essential... | |
| DIY Pass Labs First Watt F5 amp impressions It took me since last I checked in here on this thread to fire up my XA30.5 (just now-- I was prompted by reading) and always so refreshing to hear it sing. Not even warmed up at this moment and can see into the music so much more viscerally t... | |
| More crazy audio tweaks? well , if it wasn't tongue in cheek you can bet he has stock in the company/sucker born every minute. I could go for a Snickers. | |
| power Meant to add that the rating would be a lot less.. below 90db in the case of my Decwares. I think he said more like 86db something like that. I had meant at some point to ask Steve at Decware about it but I have since moved up the chain to Har... | |
| power Roger Sanders who designs and sold electrostatics once explained to me that a speaker that is 4ohm say with a rating of 94db (Decwares I used to have) are not really 94db efficient because of the 4 ohm rating. I Don't recall what his curren... | |
| DIY Pass Labs First Watt F5 amp impressions Mark, You've got me itching to fire up the xa30.5 here tomorrow. Maybe the cool mornings here the last 4 days or so in Oaktown will accommodate me. . Its like my Pass amp just sits there draped in the t-shirt dust cover and patiently awaits... | |
| Which good CD transports can be found in the used market? Re/VRDS---If I recall correctly --some versions of that transport are not deserving of the VRDS signification. See Lampizator website ---likely his older webpage and he has some examples on there of so called VRDS that are obvious ploys on cl... | |
| Emotiva xpa 1 monos I bought a pair of xpa-100's and being I am not terribly familiar with Emo offerings I would venture to guess that xpa-1 is a different amp. I think thats the one twice the size of my xpa-100? My xpa-100's sound great and are pretty much my... | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? @desktopguy--- Im checking online re/that NOS 19- you do seem really impressed with its performance. Im wondering what other units on the market use that design? To clarify---your referring to a NOS 19 as well as one that has oversampling? ... |
