| Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far I was there two days and saw a lot of very nice rooms. The towering German speakers, Goebel (?) were stunning as was were the Salk Towers... as always a reliable fine speaker in beautiful cabinets. The two MBL rooms were simply amazing, particul... | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Very impressive response and I look forward to hearing the amp at APXONA later this week. Two points of contention. Don's amp is a bespoke amp handcrafted from stem to stern in British Columbia, with components sources worldwide, the best compo... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? As I said earlier, I have had Don's preamp for several years now, and it is by far the best preamp I have ever had in my system. It is the last preamp I can ever imagine acquiring. | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Jim,I am flying in from California to attend the show. I look forward to meeting you and hearing the Crimson for myself. | |
| Power strip for sequenced preamp/amp turn on and turn off? A follow up: today hooked up a Panamax MR4300 power strip, which has RFI, EMI, and surge protection that the Uberbuss does not, and my music sounds just fine. I can see on the front of the Panamax that my wall voltage has varied between 121V an... | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Great to learn that the bias setting in not much vary over time. How do you actually do the biasing.... does it entail using a small screwdriver to adjust a potentiometer, confirming the correct mA setting on the meter on the front. If so, wher... | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Thanks for the reference, shown below. I don't doubt that the Crimson would be a good mate for your JBL speakers! For me, personally, a tube amp without auto-biasing is non-starter. Tiny screwdrivers and a power-up amplifier are the not the way... | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp A question to Jim Clark. It is not clear how the biasing function on the Crimson unit works. I am guessing that one would not need a voltmeter for biasing, but it doesn't appear as though it has auto-biasing. Can you explain the biasing procedu... | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Very impressive, no doubt. Thanks, Jim. | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Jim,I appreciate your feedback on this thread, and I would suggest that you encourage, if possible, audiophiles to whom you have sold the amp to chime in on the thread with their experiences with their particular systems. I think this amp might w... | |
| How to value a used CD collection? Ladies and gentlemen,This potential purchase is a vexy one for the reasons you have mentioned. I appreciate the feedback. Selling CD's on Amazon is a losing proposition with the nick they take out of the sale. I guess I need to investigate other... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Let me chime in on this thread. I got one of Don Sachs first preamps and now with his latest upgrade, I think he has pretty wrung every bit of sonic goodness out of his derivation design. It is far and away the finest preamp I have every had, ... | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Well, this thread is over three month old and nobody has yet responded who owns a Crimson amp. I note that the Crimson amp only 19 lbs and Don's amp is around 65 lbs. Presumably the Crimson has much longer tube life. Nobody seems to know why. | |
