| The most emotional amp out there? Hands down winner for me is Art Audio Jota (preferably high power version monoblocks) | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I use my Supratek with my Merlin VSM. It's not exactly the same as the TSM (which I've also owned), but I will say that I enjoy the combo immensely. | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody A dissenting opinion on 76. I'm not a big fan. I have many pairs for my personal use and have sold quite a few in the past, but in terms of sonic attributes, I'd much rather use 6SN7 then 76 tubes myself. | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody I am assuming the Supratek can handle the 6H30. While often touted as a 6922 variant, it really is a much more demanding tube and should never be substituted into a 6922 application (though it's often safe to sub 6922 in place of gear designed for... | |
| Merlin speakers a new start for me Hey Bobby,The SEs have the Cardas posts and I've purchased your Z-feets already (there are six holes at the bottom of each speaker to mount the feet in various configurations). Is this the six-toe mod you are referring to? I'm also using your cryo... | |
| Merlin speakers a new start for me I have a one of the later model SEs which I've been informed uses the MM cabinetry (not sure about the port tuning, also lacks the new MM wiring harness). I have absolutely no bass defiency that isn't the fault of my room. I know Bobby has said Me... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century mustang, has Mick confirmed it is okay to use such substitutions in your preamp? The PX4 and 45 are significantly different triodes. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Jpms,The Visseaux 6L6G (as with most 6L6 tubes in the regulator spot) are a lot more full and warm then the WE350B. The Visseaux 6L6GT (the straight bottle version) is not quite as warm as the 6L6G ST/coke bottle version. Having experiented more w... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century jpms, some of the posts in this thread deter me from contributing, but I can help you with your questions:1) U54 is another designation for GZ37 and CV378. It's not a GZ34, but it's listed as a suitable sub in Mick's owner's manual.2) All indirect... | |
| 300B tube recommendation for SET amp? EH aren't bad. Quite respectable for their price, actually. I can envision all 300Bs finding some favor in someone's system. The one I'd avoid is Cetron's 300B: it's pricey and subpar at best. | |
| Speakers Cables With Better Top End Extension For the most impressive top end, I recommend Silver Audio Symphony 32 or 48. It's extremely well extended, resolved, and silky (no trace of harshness).The Cerious do many great things (for example, its PRAT is the best I've heard of any cable in a... | |
| Theory about Cary amps and their reviewers Cary's service is top notch IME. They are responsive and very interested in working out any reported problems you may have. The build quality is also first rate IME.That said, Cary does sound "slower" and bloomier then a lot of other hi fi gear. A... | |
| How many watts are you pushing your Merlins with? The Art Audio Carissa is a great amp and its power rating is very conservative. It will drive the VSM very well and will suffice for the TSM if you don't listen to extremely dynamic or head-banging music. Bobby, last time I checked, doesn't prefer... | |
| 300B tube recommendation for SET amp? I'm surprised no one has asked you what your personal sonic preference is. People here probably don't have extensive experience with a range of 300Bs, so they're just offering you suggestions based on what they are using. | |
| Cerious cables - Proper setup and run in time Stan, I respect your opinion but could do without your condescension. Not everyone who enjoys the Cerious cables is "masochistic," lacks a "revealing" system, or have never tried premium cables. |
