Jafox ( John) : For the sake of transparency & accuracy , The demagg tweak was proposed by Thomas O. Miller , " Tweak of the Year" , " The Absolute Sound ", Volume 18, Issue 92 Winter , page 103. The tweak came to the attention of Mr. Miller via Roger Skoff of XlO Electric who co-produced the CD "The Sheffield/XlO Test & Burn-in CD" (adv.p.35). The XLO CD also contains calabration frequencies ( sec.6 & 7) that appear to do the same. According to XLO , the CD can be adapted for use with phono imputs.. Use either tweak only at very low listening levels-- afterward no problem , only jaw dropping sound . XLO is still around I believe , p/h 909-466-0382.
Tube Preamps...I'm sold
At the constant urging of my friend I finally decided to audition a tube preamp (Eistein The Tube). All I can say is I am completely sold on the benefits of tubes in my system. I am not sure I have the vocabulary to describe what I heard but everything just sounded right. Vocals has a realism that made it seem I was in the same room as the musician. Instruments sounded like they were supposed to. There were details I have never heard before. What is amazing to me is that I have what I believe to be a pretty good ss preamp (Classe CP-700).
Ok, now for the hard part...finding the right tube preamp. The Einstein is amazing but I want to audition more. Can anyone suggest a tube pre in the range of $10K and less? I would love to some one with an output trigger and very fine volume control (0.5db). Thats all I need.
Thanks in advance.
