| audio valve eklipse or aesthetix calypso Kabaraka, Audio Valve will tell you that the pair of tubes on the left, assuming your looking at the preamp from the front, are the lead tubes and therefore are more important then the other pair of tubes. My experience has been that both set of t... | |
| audio valve eklipse or aesthetix calypso Lacee, you must have bad luck with NOS tubes. I agree that the RCA Clear tops are not that much better sounding then the EH tubes in the Eklipse. However either NOS Amperex long plate G getters or NOS Mullard long plate square getters bring the pe... | |
| audio valve eklipse or aesthetix calypso Kabaraka, I would not use the term, "blow away", to describe what would be the difference sonicly between the VTL2.5 and the Eklipse. When I have auditioned the reference VTL linestage compared to the Eklipse, with the right NOS tubes, the Eklipse... | |
| Review: Concert Fidelity CF-080 Preamplifier Paul, I got the Mullard long plate square getters from Brent Jesse Audio. | |
| Slagle AVC Modules & Lightspeed Attenuator Paul, yes I did a review on the XA-60.5's here on the GON. I was surprized how much of a sonic difference, for the better, the 60.5's made in my system compared to the XA-100's. Yup, it would be fun to hear the L.A. in my system. Don't know if you... | |
| Slagle AVC Modules & Lightspeed Attenuator Hi Paul, I'm not using the XA-100's anymore in my system, they were replaced with XA-60.5's. Remember I bi-amp with a Bryston X-over, so I have never had an impedence matching problems with any active or passive linestage in my system.Clio09, than... | |
| audio valve eklipse or aesthetix calypso Hi Kabaraka, I just replaced my Eklipse with a Concert Fidelity CF-080 which costs $15000.00 more then the Audio Valve piece! I had auditioned scores of preamps, including the Calypso, and found the Eklipse to be better in its sonic performance or... | |
| Slagle AVC Modules & Lightspeed Attenuator Thanks Paul, your feedback helps me understand why your enjoying the Lightspeed so much. Yes, when I use the term image density that's my way of describing palapablty or 3D imaging. Sounds like there is no problem in that area with the Lightspeed.... | |
| Slagle AVC Modules & Lightspeed Attenuator I have found this thread very interesting based on my own experience with passive preamps in the past. As Pubul57 knows, since he purchased from me the Placette buffered, I went from this great resitor based passive to John Chapman's TVC based Tap... | |

Your excitement over the performance of your new DAC is very apparent! Congrats.Do you know if you can use either 6922's or 6DJ8's instead of the stock 6N19's? I have ... | |
| Review: AetherAudio Black Box Tweak Hi Husk01, I believe your assumption is correct, if your bi wiring you would need two pairs. Just to be sure whay don't you contact Bob and see what he says about it. I biamp my system so I have to use two pairs. | |
| Review: AetherAudio Black Box Tweak A review by Frank Alles of the website The Stereo Times on the less expensive version of AetherAudio's Black Box manufactoried by NuForce called the Magic Cube has just been posted.Mr. Alles comes to the same conclusion, that this device has a won... | |
| Digital Cable : Cardas Neutral Reference Vs Au24 Paui, with what you describe what you our looking for sonicly, in your price range, I would strongly suggest that you audition the Acoustic Zen reference cable that I believe is called the AZ=mc2? I think it will come closer to your desires then e... | |
