| RMAF 2009 tips? Yes, thanks people. May try to incorporate a few extra days to see the sights. We have done that in the past. Had a nice trip to Olympia national park in Washington by flying in and renting a car. No reservations, just playing it by ear. The "Hall... | |
| Triode Corporation on Japan Great electronics. Very impressive visually and most important sonically. Followed my gut and bought blindly. Glad I did. I have the parallel 300B monobloc amps and the se preamp paired with omega maxhemp single driver speakers. Went from ss elect... | |
| turntable enthusiasts near Knoxville, TN? Thanks for the recommendations. I would love to speak with George Merrill but Memphis is close to an 8hr drive. I do see he has a merrill heirloomII for sale at the moment. Atlanta isn't necessarily too far but was hoping to find something a littl... | |
| Euphoric Realism vs. Euphonic Romanticism Look into a triode corp. trv-4se (limited). I find it to have the qualities you are looking for. These are new to the states. | |
| Need list of 92db speakers and above. Check out the omega maxhemps. | |
| Power: Good or Bad Some people prefer class A ss amps over a/b. I am one. Also, there is nothing like a well designed SET amp properly integrated into an appropriate room with appropriate speakers imho.Twc | |
| Cain & cain abbey vs Zu Druid You may want to research the single driver speakers made from hemp. I own the omega maxhemps with triode corp. parallel SET monoblocs and can attest to their many strengths. I was told that the hemp driver is superior to fostex. I have never heard... | |
| tube amp vol control vs. preamp When my belles 350a ref. sells, I may ask the preamp dealer for a no strings demo. The preamp is the tri trv 4se limited with phono. Not much info. available on the triode corp. products as they are new to the US but I sure love their SET monobloc... | |
| Electrical issue I am still not at the bottom of my hum problem but I think I finally have a line on it. With the speakers connected to the amp and the pre disconnected I have hum on the right channnel only. With pre connected hum is in both speakers. I put my old... | |
| tubed preamp off and ss amp left on? Progress maybe. I disconnected the preamp at the amps inputs and the strangest thing happened. The left channel was silent yet the right channel had the same hum and at the same level. I then plugged the interconnects back in and the hum returned ... | |
| tubed preamp off and ss amp left on? Thanks. I will try disconnecting the preamp at the amp's inputs tomorrow as Mang53 suggested and see what happens. I hadn't thought of that. The amp is pretty new so I doubt it is the ps caps. I think I have had both pre and power pc's connected t... | |
| tubed preamp off and ss amp left on? Thanks for the responses. I just rechecked and the loud hum when pre is off and amp on is gone. Why? I do not know. I have made many changes lately trying to get rid of a low level hum in speakers when nothing is playing. This hum is still present... | |
| nuforce 9.02se/belles ref./ moscode 401hr? Thanks people. Some real good information and sound advice (pardon the pun). I may live with my current amp just a little bit longer. The moscode is so interesting. Everytime I have introduced a tube I have liked the results. The McIntosh's have a... | |
| nuforce 9.02se/belles ref./ moscode 401hr? Regarding the previous post, I think I should have said I love to hear the immediacy and prominent dynamic contrasts to voice inflections among other inner detail shadings. Tim | |
| nuforce 9.02se/belles ref./ moscode 401hr? I would suggest explaining in your own words what you like better about the Aloia 15.01. Forget audiophile speak. Do your best. Your answer will provide important clues to which of the very different amplifiers you might like from your list.I love... |
