| Preamp for my CODA 5.5 amp I'm using a Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp with my Coda Continuum No 8 V1. It's a tube preamp. | |
| Speakers for a coda 5.5 amp Von Schweikert Endeavor RE. My amp is a Coda Continuum No 8 V1. | |
| Rega Brio R vs Yamaha M2 @stereo5 That was probably the same Tweeter chain. I lived in Maine at the time, but I think the store was in Portsmouth. I went from the Adcom and NAD to a Coda amplifier and conrad-johnson tube preamp. Speakers changed to Von Schweikert VR-4. | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay @brylandgoodman The Gustard X-30 showed up this afternoon. I'll start by saying that I won't be sending it back. It's everything that I'd read in the reviews. Better detail and imaging without any harshness. Puncher bass. I would say it's holog... | |
| Rega Brio R vs Yamaha M2 @stereo5 My first separates were a Yamaha power amp and Yamaha preamp. I upgraded to the Adcom GFA555 and a NAD 1300 preamp. With Vandersteen 2C speakers. It was pretty nice. I had a very limited budget. | |
| Rega Brio R vs Yamaha M2 @stereo5 Tweeters is a name I haven't heard for years. Not sure if it's the same store, but my Adcom GFA555 came from a Tweeters store. Portsmouth, NH, I think. | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit Below is a link to the tubes that were recommended to me for the Premier 17LS2. I believe they are NOS from the late 60's. This is reportedly a longer lasting tube. It's my understanding the c-j cranks up the juice on the tubes in some of their... | |
| Best Integrated Amp/Preamp with Full 3-Band EQ for Jensen LS-6B Speakers? Budget $3.5K I should mention that vintage gear can be prone to needing repairs. If you go that route, maybe find one that's had the capacitors replaced, etc. I only pulled the one from eBay as an example of a receiver with an EQ. | |
| Best Integrated Amp/Preamp with Full 3-Band EQ for Jensen LS-6B Speakers? Budget $3.5K I'm not familiar with those speakers, but a little Googling seems to indicate that they weren't real high end speakers. My concern is that you'd spend $3500 and not be happy with the results. What did your father use for an amp? Have you heard ... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit @jimbones Did you ever try Philips Holland 7DJ8 / PCC88 tubes in the ET-5? I bought a bunch of them for the 17LS2 (it takes four tubes). I had read that they sound good and they last longer. Tube Depot has them for $59. I was bummed when I ha... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit I had a conrad-johnson PV-14L preamp. The best tubes were a little hard to find (Mullard M8080), but they lasted forever. I upgraded to a Premier 17LS2, but it developed an issue and I returned it. I went to a LTA MicroZOTL preamp. It's not kno... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Riverside - Lost and Found. Live in Tilburg on DVD (video and surround) | |
| Preamp out to line in? @erik_squires Nice catch. Ignore what I said. lol. | |
| Preamp out to line in? You can run the pre-out for the front channels of the Marantz into a line level input on your Parasound. If the Parasound doesn't have a theatre pass through, you'll need to find a position on the volume knob of the Parasound that works with the ... | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay @brylandgoodman Got your message. I don't think I can reply unless I put a credit card on file with AG. I'll let you know what I think of the X-30. I thought about holding about for the R-30, but I thought it might be too similar to my R-26 w... |
