| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables Curious…which Valhalla cables (reg or II, speaker or other?) and which Audience style did you compare? Also, what’s the price of the cables? Thanks | |
| Can’t buy output tubes anywhere except from manufacturers at high prices. @hiendmmoe For what it is worth I purchased some Russian preamp tubes that were advertised as New, NOS and Matched. When they arrived they were not new. The boxes had testing results that were not anywhere close to being matched. When I tested th... | |
| Audio Hungaray Qualiton A50i vs LTA Z40+ Integrated I bought a 6 month old LTA z40+ with NOS Mullard and Gold Lion EL34 and did not care for the sound and sadly resold it in less than a month. It sounded very SS with hollow bass compared to my Raven Tube Amp. The clarity, instrument separation an... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @isaacc7 Oh well I think I will start out with traditional 6sn7 tubes. I really don’t want to mess around with adapters starting out. Mick included a 40-50’s Radiotron 6SN7gt pair made in Australia. I have pairs of Rca grey glass 6SN7gt’s, Rca ... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @isaacc7 Thank you for your helpful tube expertise. I am not familiar with many of these tube types. Which types would be direct drop in’s for the 6v cabernet without using adapters? Much appreciated! | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables @reimarc what did your DIY cables end up setting you back? | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables Ok here’s my different take on my 2 system set ups…I have both Odin 2 silver and Odin Gold interconnects. They both sound excellent but I can’t really tell them apart. Settled with a full loom of Odin 2 Silver interconnects and Odin 2 ethernet... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @jackd Great info exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @jackd Thanks for the input. What tubes are you using? Nice to hear what others are doing. I have a selection of NOS 6l6’s and 6sn7’s that I can play around with. What rectifier do you like or recommend? I have some 5u4g’s are they compatible 5... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Anyone take delivery of a Supratek recently? Originally ordered a dark brown wood/chrome Chardonnay and ended up upgrading to a Cabernet 6SN7 since Mick had one available to ship sooner. Might have been a cancellation…don’t know. Mick mention... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" Thanks for the great writeup review. Enjoyed it! Love the concept and technology and it sounds low risk to damaging components. If you want to start out and not purchase one for all components what would be the order of priority? DAC, Preamp, ... | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables I use various Chinese Nordost Odin Silver and Gold, interconnects, power cord, and ethernet cables. Also use the Chinese (Nordost Valhalla) flat speaker cables. Agree they are amazing speaker cables. Better than the Silver Odin’s in my systems. ... | |
| Fritz Speakers I own a pair of the Fritz Rev 5 SE, which are no longer offered, and they are very good at 50-70db where I prefer to listen. I even run them as front speakers on a Midfi Home Theatre amp in direct 2-channel mode. I’m sure they would be even bet... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! +100 Mark is such a great guy with amazing customer service and great products. Even for a midfi value guy his Puron plug defies logic and is just amazing! I had 2 plugs: one plugged into my home theatre system’s power conditioner and one in ... | |
| Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps? I had the complete opposite experience. I bought a 6 month old LTA40 + integrated with NOS Mullards thinking this was my end game amp and that it would blow my Raven Blackhawk away. Owned it 2 weeks, didn’t like it at all and resold it for no loss... |
