| Upgradying Tube Preamp I agree wholeheartedly with Jmcgrogan2 the preamp is the heart of a system. A preamp can hold back or bring your system to a different level.Of course all things in the chain are important, but without a good preamp your system won't shine.Your pr... | |
| Clear Day w Solid State, any users and impressions I have Paul's double shotguns, which replaced my Audioquest Volcano's. They were better in most areas except the lower bass. Paul is a pleasure to deal with. Customer service is first rate!I find going to Paul's higher gauge adds more warmth to th... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Charles,I bought my Tung-Sol 5u4gb's from Andy at Vintage Tube Services. He is very good and stands behind his tubes.I don't think the Franks can use 5u4g'sJoe | |
| Seeking Rock&Roll Speakers +1 for Zu speakers. I have the Druid V's, I mostly listen to jazz but they can definitely rock out and play other genre's equally well. | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps It has Charles, just compared to the Pvsane it has the qualities I described and I mentioned organic: wink.Best,Joe | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hi Wu, I tried a few different rectifiers and liked the Tung-Sol 5u4gb and Sylvania 5931 the best. The Sylvania is a beautiful built tube. The Pvsane hi-fi 300b which came with the amps weren't bad, but the EML 300b XLS tubes are much better. They... | |
| Subwoofer for "seamless" integration with Zu Druid Over your budget, but Zu's Undertone is excellent with my Druid V speakers. It blends in perfectly. Talk to Sean, he might have some b-stocks for a good price. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Hi Wilsynet,I have the Driud V's in a room a little bigger then yours and run an Undertone sub with no problems. All rear ported speakers gave me bass problems. The Zu's bottom ports load a room much better. If you can swing the extra money go wit... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly The Radian tweeter is so much better then the older tweeter. It is much more open, smoother and integrates with the nano FRD much better. | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hi Charles, Yeah, I put AMR gold fuses in. It was a worthwhile improvement. I'm loving the amps, after 35 years in this hobby I finally am really content with my system. It sounds so natural, organic, and so full of life. I stopped analyzing and j... | |
| loud popping sound from left channel If it is your preamp, it could be one of your tubes. Start switching the tubes from the left channel to the right channel until you find the bad tube. | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers Just get them straight from TWL (Pete). He's a great guy to deal with. Get the 7ga.+ cords. They work real good with amps. | |

| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Mel really nice integrated by the way. It must sound wonderful! Joe | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Mel, I think you overreacted. How is Charles being a cop. He stated is his opinion, as has you. Charles has always given helpful advise and is an asset on this forum. I have both types of amps and enjoy both. They each have advantages and disadvan... |
