| Comparing Ultraverve to CJ 16 or Supratek preamps Hi Frankk. Have you tried any tube rolling? Maybe the Ultraverve has some hidden magic in it. Good listening. Jeff | |
| Pinched Waist 7062/E180CC I recently bought a pair of matched Amperex 7062 pinched waist tubes from Andy at Vintage Tube Services for $46 each. It's best to reach him by phone at 616-454-3467. BTW, he's the one who coined the term "pinched waist". | |
| Beethoven Ninth Symphony I agree with Fafafion. The Karajan DG SACD reading is outstanding. | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Hi Kenobi. You're absolutely correct about hard spiky cones (been there, done that). The NuForce feet are definitely good just by themselves. I found, however, in my system I was looking for a more "soft" presentation. I installed some Bright Star... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Hi Joe in Seattle. I use Hi-Fi Tuning fuses throughout my system. I first put one in my preamp. There was a subtle but audible improvement (especially in clarity of the signal without etch). The effect of these fuses is definitely cumulitive, howe... | |
| Greatest C&W Band I second Blindjim's recommendation for the Derailers. I wouuld also add their "Full Western Dress" CD. Both of these Cds were produced by Dave Alvin (The Blasters). They are truly excellent recordings that have the "Bakersfield" sound. | |
| deHavilland Mercury II owners Hi Ralphww: There are really no "stock" tubes that come with the Mercury preamps. It's my understanding that Kara et al matches tubes in pairs regardless of the brand. I personally have ALL Sylvania tubes running right now that I bought from Andy ... | |
| How can I improve my CD sound? I agree with Tweak 1 and Rello | |
| Lead Weight on a Nuforce 9sev2 CK. I use the large Little Rock mainly because I have owned it for the last 7 years, and it fits perfectly over the two amps. I have not tried two smaller ones. | |
| Lead Weight on a Nuforce 9sev2 I'm using a Bright Star Audio Little Rock (13x17x1 inches) that sits on top of both of my NuForce 9.02 SE V2 amps that are spaced about 1 inch apart. I also use the Bright Star Isonode feet (the large ones) under the fixed feet of the NuForce amps... | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Im using a deHavilland Mercury II preamp with the NuForce 9.02 SE V2 amps in single ended mode with stunning results | |
| Opinions on Montana EPS MK 2 speakers I have a pair of the original EPS speakers. They play all types of music well. Analogtroll is correct, in that they really do come to life with 100 or more watts feeding them. I started using an Air Tight ATM 1 (40 watts per channel) at first. It ... | |
| Source or speaker Another confirmation to what Audiofeil said. The speakers and our ears is where the magic happens. | |
| What do you do with all those CD's?? Check out www.cdracks.com | |
| Purist Ann. Contego vs Shunyata Anac Alpha Helix The Marigo Audio "Andromeda" power cord will fit the bill quite nicely. The come in two different tunings (depending on the power supply they're connected to). Ron Hedrich will send you one of each to audition for 30 days. I use them throughout my... |
