| SS Amp Recommendations? Simaudio Celeste,Aragon,Muse,Bedini 100,CJ MF80.If the dollars could be stretched:Oddyssey,Bel Canto,McCormack DNA .5/1. | |
| I need SS muscle Russe41:What amp did you decide upon? | |
| VTL 5.5 vs. Lamm LL2? I would think that an all-tube signal path would be preferrable.Not necessarily voting for the VTL. Had you considered First Sound Or Supratek?? | |
| Shuguang KT88Z v.s. EL37 Mullards v.s. KT88/66 GEC Maxmad:Thanks for the link.Made for some good reading and has also sparked my curiousity. | |
| 40-50w tube amp for Aerial 9 The 10t sounded best with tube amps under 100W/ch.The VAC 90/90 and Ren 70 drove them nicely.I would think that as you match the impedance tap to the speaker impedance,that you will get maximum power delivery.I believe that 40-50W should drive a 9... | |
| Shuguang KT88Z v.s. EL37 Mullards v.s. KT88/66 GEC Anyone have any experience with the Shuguang Anniversary KT-88s? And where they fit in the heirarchy of current production tubes.Price? Wish I had been able to attend RMAF-they were discounting these. | |
| Fatigue reducing interconnect? You might also play with the height of the speaker.Raising the tweeter level (height from the ground),lessening the tweeters' contribution to the over-all sound. | |
| Any good equipment racks that are afordable? DIY: search the forums.Many have had good success.I built my own and am very happy. | |
| $8oo dollar budget In a similar power rating (Ts Vs SS):Quicksilver Silver 70/90 or Primaluna 6/7.Might wait until the budget can be strecthed a little farther. | |
| KT88 or EL34 based tube amp for Titus ES I too have looked at the Almarro.Be sure to find a reliable source for your 6c33c tubes.I know that Quicksilver gave up on them.Lamm keeps some,hand selected for the output on the ML2. | |
| Fatigue reducing interconnect? Watch the auctions for the Black Mountain Pinnacle Gold IC.Its' gold component makes it a little more laid-back in the highs.Mids and bass are very good.These cables are not directionally labeled,but one direction is better than the other-you'll k... | |
| Transfiguration:sonic balance/Axia shares Phoenix Won't go back down the JA trail... As for new MCs,the Phoenix is on the upper end of a proposed limit.Don't think that I am comfortable buying used (Temper V/W). Nsgarch:Do you feel that the Phoenix' sound is completely different than the Orpheus-... | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? I had heard that the Gamut room didn't come to life until late in the show-then was amazing. No mention of the Accuphase room?? | |
| Tube upgrade for VAC Ren 30/30 Touch base with Andy Bauman/Vintage Tube Services Or Brendon at Tube World. If Andy has what you need,he will take back those that are well cared for and not abused (refund).But please discuss this subject with him.The initial outlay could be rath... | |
| KT88 or EL34 based tube amp for Titus ES I would suggest the PL2.It eliminates an IC.The 88s are my preference and rolling the 12ax/au will bring its' performance to another level. I am not as enamored of the 3/ pre.Those who have had both (friends),have kept the PL2. I have owned the PL... |
