@vthokie83 Yes it does. Very well done and thank you.
Suggestions for a holographic preamp?
I'm looking to replacing my Herron Audio tube line stage with something else, not because of a problem with the sound, but for a few other reasons.
I do both digital and analog, and have a Herron Audio tube phono preamp. My power amp is an MSB S-200, which is awesome, and my speakers are Marten Parker Duos, which are wonderful for a deep, holographic soundstage that I like so much.
I listen mostly to rock and reggae, and I'm looking to keep the price under $10K US, and I'm fine with a used one as well.
I get the feeling that I will need a tube preamp to get that holographic sound, but perhaps there are some SS ones that do as good a job?
The fellow I work with at The Music Room suggested a ModWright LS-100 or a used PS Audio BHK preamp; I've researched and they both look like they'd fit the bill, but I'd like to hear your suggestions, too!

I have an Allnic L-8000 DHT pre-amp, it is the end game pre for me. Before the L-8000 I had a used L-7000 that was phenomenal and before that a used L-3000 which was also exceptional. There is an Allnic sound and holographic is a big part of it. They are also almost un-tube like in clarity, transparency and quietness but retain the beautiful timbre of tubes. I believe the L-7000 (used) is under $10000. |
When my Phon' was being designed over a period of time there was a few Circuits Produced of which a few were superseded. Even though the updated designs were a betterment ( Personal Preference as a result of listening evaluation). The earlier designs were introduced on occasion to measure where the differences being produced were able to be discerned for the impression of the End Sound being produced. A Friend after being demo'd my Phon' on a few occasions wanted to have a model in their own system. When having been demo'd an earlier Prototype, they remained smitten and after having it put into a Casing with a few component exchanges, had bought into the design at very very fair monies. My experiences of this Phon' is enjoyed as much as my own, there is only small differences to the voicing that I can detect in the different system. There may be a Prototype/ Prototypes that still remains, which can be discussed with Mr Sachs. Such a Model may become after a little attention, a Bespoke Design that will due to Pedigree always be a Saleable Pre Amp, offering much of the attraction of the Amp' offered to the broader community? |
As a side, A Forum Member PM’d myself about a Supplier of D.U.C.C Cable. I can’t reply to mails that arrive in my Personal Account and Mails are not shown to me within the forum. Additionally I can’t send a PM within the forum. The Link will be a beneficial source of info for the PM Inquirer. As a Wire Type used as a signal path on a cable, it will be beneficial to the sent signal to augment a Holographic ( me terminology for this effect is ethereal ) perception of an End Sound produced. http://www.acrolink.jp/english/products/7n_a2070.html Luxman also uses the same Wire Type and occasionally it is found as a PC 1 Wire directly from Mitsubishi. The Link is direct from Mitsubishi and shows for Product Code for the Wire Type. The Product Code could serve as method to finding the wire only from other sources? https://www.mitsubishi-copper.com/en/products/materials/mof_6n8/ Mitsubishi has in recent months produced a state of the art OFC Copper Wire that is Comparable but surpassing oxygen-free copper C10200, which has the highest electrical conductivity (101%IACS). |
