| Best EL34 ? My Anthem Amp 1 came with Electro Harmonix El34's which I believe are made by Sovtek. I changed over to Svetlana and the sound is much smoother. Something else I have discovered is after I changed preamps(Anthem pre2L to ARC Ls7)the low end has im... | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? I have in the past used a vpi brick (currently on top of my Ls7 pre) and it brought the hum down a lot. It may not do what you want on a electical basis but it is the cheap fix you may be looking for. | |
| Amplification for Maggie MG 1.6Qr s I didn't have the 1.6Q's but did own the SMGa's once. As stated they need current. I had a rotel 990 and the aragon 4004 on them. The aragon sounded better. I did hear the marsh on a friends 1.6Q s and they really sung. The marsh is one hell of a ... | |
| help with DAC w/current system I guess Audioguy that would be a decision you would have to make. With the format wars on going one should tread lightly until something is finalized. My dac has hdcd but I don't see that many discs with hdcd on the label. With the msb at least th... | |
| Sim Versus Mcintosh Amps I can't say much about the Mac but I did own a Celeste(simaudio) 4070 amp. This amp is one of the best I have owned and I kick myself once and awhile for selling it. Well built and very musical. | |
| S.F Power 3 6922 or 6dj8? Justlisten ignore my spelling and I hope you find a solution yo your post. | |
| S.F Power 3 6922 or 6dj8? Justlisten I have a Anthem pre2L that camr with Sovtek 6922's. I replaced them with Jan-philips tubes but they were 6922 also. I didn't really notice a difference in sonics. I did replace the sovtek 6922 with bugle boys 6dj8 in my sf dac and I pre... | |
| Tube amp problem Eldragon what about the pwr cord? It might have a short or the internal wires from the iec box may be loose. There's a short somewhere if all you have to do is move it. Also check the output jacks and the wires connected to it. Hope this helps. | |
| Tube Preamp.. On or Off? My Anthem pre2L does not have a standby mode, but upon turn on it does go into a standby phase for 30sec and then I pwr up my Anthem 1. I myself do not leave my pre on all the time I just wait about a hour before I settle down to listen. The pwr a... | |

| D H LABS AIR MATRIX - any info Just finished a audition and agree with the above post. These cables get out of the way and let the music flow. Great detail without being etched. | |
| Help My DAC sounds very noisy..... Supakit please overlook my caps. Hope you get your problem fixed. | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? I believe JeffL has it covered but to add-synergy has a lot to do with a system being musical. When each piece of gear you may have is in sync with each other there's nothing left but the music. When you go to a live show and the band just clicks,... | |
| Help My DAC sounds very noisy..... BASED ON YOUR FINDINGS IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CULPRIT IS IN THE OUTPUT STAGE OF YOUR DAC. IT COULD BE A LEAKY CAP,DIRTY OR LOOSE WIRE,OR LASTLY A CIRCUIT BOARD PROBLEM. IF THIS UNIT CAME WITH A WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE IT LOOKED AT. BEST OF LUCK. | |
| Replacing Jumpers = Bi-wiring?? My Meadowlark Kestrals came with wire jumpers(something all spkr companys should do). I have tried biwiring but somehow the wire jumpers sound better. I'm assuming the jumpers are the same as the internal wire and sonically are a match. I think bi... |
