| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Ozzy, I have a couple of thread going on this amp, but I decided instead to order Don Sachs Kootenay amp after hearing it in my system. It does everything my Platinum McCormack does... amazing LF control, but Don's amp is vastly more holographic.... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated Ozzy,My cashy pal during my college years got the Phase Linear amp and preamp and pretty much blew us plebes away in the SPL of the system with RTR speakers. Actually, he still has the amp and preamp 40 years later. There are rave reviews from th... | |
| don sach's custom kt88 tube amp I ordered Don's amp yesterday. I am in the queue. Good things come to those that wait, although it is not my strong suit. Don told me many times that his amp would be better than my McCormack amp with my Spatial Audio speakers,and I dismissed ... | |
| McCormack is my grail! He makes a preamp and some other device, but not amps. | |
| Don Sachs Katooney amplifier I would imagine it would be a fine math. The impedance is a fair match for Don's outstanding amp. Of course, it is best to asked Don the question. | |
| McCormack is my grail! I had stock DNA .05 that I loved and then got the Platinum upgrade and it is wonderful. | |
| Totem Hawks - my impressions I am 8 interactions of speakers passed the Hawk's, but remember them fondly, particularly their excellent bass response. | |
| Totem Hawks - my impressions Good for you, they are really excellent speakers, with very potent LF response. Thanks for the response. Mark | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated Angelgz,Well, I stand corrected on this compatibility issue. These days, everything I seem to know is wrong. I have a pal who has pretty large Tyler Acoustic's speakers that are nominally 4 ohms, but have frequency dips to under 2 ohms and he co... | |
| Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? JohnnyR,Thanks for the encouragement. I have talked to Rogue about an upgrade, which is affordable, but my experience with upgrading a boatload of audio gear, is that they pretty much just works around the edges and one can't get a nickel out the... | |
| Tidal Hifi has a very limited jazz selection gdnrbob2,064 posts10-23-2018 2:24pmSome of the problem is that Tidal's catalog requires assiduous effort to find the albums one is looking for. You practically have to type the whole title, and then hope it is available.BAs Gbnrbob notes, I now fi... | |
| Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? Lowrider,I have a ton of tubes with poor markings on them so I gotta get them all to my tube tech to ID them properly and test them. I did swap some Mullard NOS 12AX7's in the amp and they seems to take the brightness down a fair bit. The NOS G... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated Angel,Steakster has good advice. I think you have it backward: e-stats are power hungry and normally benefit from powerful ss amps. The new ML's with internally powered subs are a different kettle of fish, but normally powerful amps like the Sa... | |
| Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? Gents,I have spoken with Mark at Rogue and he is very helpful, as you suggest. Mechans, I hear you on the input tubes and have some nice NOS 12au7 and 12ax7 tubes to roll through the amp. I have Cerious Technology GE IC's in my rig so I will liv... | |
| Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? I just changed the taps from 4 ohm to 8 ohm and the music sounds very thin. With my 11 ohm speakers, I thought this might be helpful, but it is a move in the wrong direction. It was worth trying. |
