| Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube I know that this is an old post but in case someone still reads it (like me) I have to ask this: cyro freezes everything in the tube and then comes back to a normal temperature. So then the tube goes into its circuit and gets heated. So can someon... | |
| Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier Ugh. It should read "a hint at what the PREAMP should sound like", not "hint at what the tube should sound like". Sorry... | |
| Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier I would be a little concerned that one would have to buy NOS tubes to get a $5K preamp to sound its best. Even with stock tubes there should be a hint at what the tube should sound like without NOS tubes as it was with the stock tubes the preamp w... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! And these were compared against what other brands / makes that are available in the USA perhaps? I did not see any mention of a comparison or what other cables you have tried / used. Perhaps I missed it in the review somewhere... | |
| What CD player/transport has the most stable mechanism? Ugh - fat fingers....SACD, not "SCAD"... | |
| What CD player/transport has the most stable mechanism? This is an old thread I know but if anyone still is looking, Esoteric supports all their SCAD / CDPs no matter the age. This is done through TAP Electronics in California. Try getting that with Sony and all the others mentioned... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I know this is an old thread but in case anyone is still comparing an Esoteric with Marantz. I have owned both brands, and I still have an Esoteric specificallly a UX-3SE. Any Marantz I tried in my home was stomped into the ground by my Esoteric a... | |
| Modwright LS100 vs The followings I was surprised by this when I swapped from the Mullard 5AR4 in my LS100 to a Brimar 5V4 rectifier. If you think the Mullard is good, this is (IMHO) as good if not better and for the lot less $$$$ than a Mullard. I found the Brimar 5V4 to be as cl... | |
| Tube favorites for Modwright LS100? Oops - I would also like to add that not only does the LS100 benefit from some excellent NOS 6SN7 tubes but also a very good aftermarket power cord. I am using a Shunyata Delta NR that does probably more for the preamp than the NOS tubes...Perhaps... | |
| Tube favorites for Modwright LS100? IF anyone is still reading this old thread (there are still some of us who are still buying the LS100) I would recommend a NOS pair of CBS Hytrons. These are unsung heroes of the 6SN7 world and coupled with a good 5AR4 rectifier that is NOS, or in... | |
| Careful if buying Purist Audio Neptune fluid cables. While I understand taking the "high road" and not mentioning the dealer's name, it does present a problem for those of us who have no local Purist Audio dealer for if we go to make a purchase of cables, and we inadvertently make contact with your ... | |
| Don't buy Allnic H1201 phono stage new. Allnics come with E180 tubes, not E188... | |
| Nordost Quattro Fil is still good Just in case anyone is reading this thread for information on the Nordost Quattro Fil (and they should as this is still a very, very good cable and still better than a lot of current Nordost and other cables out there) I am responding to what audi... | |
| Preamp for Krell S-550i I applaud your honesty. A lot of people would have claimed their brilliance in such a purchase and then quietly sold the offending piece off in a few weeks. I have never owned a Krell integrated but back in the day when I had my Apogee speakers, a... | |
| Parasound P7 or Cary Cinema 11 ? I helped a former colleague build a media room onto his existing house. This guy went all out on his home theater / media setup and he too had the Cary Cinema 11. He got the upgrade bug or the "I gotta change something" bug and he demo'd the Para... |
