| Which Tube Phono Stage around $1k? I haven't heard the 834, only the 324, so cant compare the ones you are considering. But EAR stuff is awesome. I really like the WPP 200 as well - good choices! You probably cant go wrong with either. | |
| Which Tube Phono Stage around $1k? I agree with Dlwask about EAR - I really didn't know they could be had for less than $1K - superb pre-amps - I have an EAR 324 in my main system. However, would still listen to the Wright if you get a chance. Mine is not noisy. | |
| Which Tube Phono Stage around $1k? The best phono stage I've ever heard under $1K is the Wright WPP 200. Lists for $825. Disclaimer: I may be selling mine because the new preamp I bought has a built-in phono stage. But if I do so, it will be with great reluctance. Just a spectacula... | |
| Can you suggest a warm high-end CD player? APL Denon 3910 - tube output; warm, accurate, great soundstaging - for less than $5K. | |
| Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs Scheu The SOTA Cosmos V, OL Illustrious arm and Shelter 901 (I have this trio) make an outstanding combination. Also, SOTA give outstanding service. I agree with Sit. | |
| Best cheaper alternative to McCormack UDP-1? Thanks, Rello. I have ordered the 9600. Appreciate your help. | |
| Best cheaper alternative to McCormack UDP-1? Thanks for suggestions.Rello, is there a difference in audio quality between the 9500 and 9600? | |
| Best tube integrated under 1500 new or used Another vote for the TAD-60. This is a highly impressive amp and, for the cost, staggered me how good it is, particularly in triode mode. | |
| Ok....Audiogoners: need some tube amp ideas Second Atma-Sphere. MA-1 used will fit the bill. I have never heard a better amp than the Atma-Sphere | |
| Will VPI scout or Michell Tecnodec beat my emmlabs I have an EMM set-up like yours and Kharma 3.2 speakers - so maybe we have that in common - driven by Atmasphere preamp (MP-1) and amp (MA 2) and had the same question as you a year ago - ended up with a vinyl system, that unfortunately costs more... | |
| Jadis Integrated Thanks very much, Mechans. I have already changed the input tubes to vintage Mullard 4003 12AU7s and Sylvania 5751 Triple Mica Black gate vintage for 12AX7s. The JJ E34Ls are here but I wont try them until about 500 hours................will keep ... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? The Jadis DA 88 Signature. If this isn't high-end,then neither are my $$$ separates.take it from me, it is very high-end........... | |
| Jadis Integrated I understand from Pierre Gabriel that the DA 88 Signature has "a new design" with updated circuits and topolgy and is specifically designed for KT 88s. However, he makes it clear than it can play other tubes, including my favorite EL 34s. The DA 6... | |
| SACD Player Shootout I have just read this thread, and, since I own both the EMM and original APL 3910 (without update) systems, used in different systems, the EMM in balanced and the APL in single-ended mode, will not make a comparison. Suffice it to say that they ar... | |
| Heard a SOTA and I am pumped to get mine goin Not only are SOTA tables superb, but the responsiveness and service from the Sota people is impeccable. I am assuming this table will last forever, and looks great, too. (Cosmos with vacuum) |
