| Rouge Audio RP-7 The top end Primaluna Pre looks interesting. Especially the ability to select gain which is great if one has efficient speakers and switches amps often | |
| Rouge Audio RP-7 @ghdprentice although the unit was nice, I say I have to agree with you | |
| Rouge Audio RP-7 Yes. The hiss/noise was super loud from the start. I purchased a new pair of JJ tubes and the same thing. My amp at the time had super high gain (34 db) so I thought that I needed to lower the gain on the pre output side. I purchased a pair of Har... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Dumb question. Do modern HI-Fi companies get UL certification (or similar) for their designs? If so, wouldn’t the grounding issue be a part of such certification? I don’t even know if UL is even a thing anymore. Just curious. | |
| Rouge Audio RP-7 I had the RP-5 for about 10 months and later traded it in on a PS Audio BHK Pre. Just some of my observations: 1. You had to (maybe it has changed since) to take entire back cover off to access tubes. The BHK has a small lid on top with two screw... | |
| Technics 1200G VS VPI Prime Signature I’ve asked before, why does there seem to be a lot of “ B” stock Vpi’s at Music Direct? | |
| Can one have too many tube components in a system? @wturkey LOL. That's what it seems like. A few years ago I had a Nuforce STA200 class a/b amp with a solid state pre and my Zu speakers. Sounded wonderful. I purchased a new Rogue RP-5 and the hiss was unbearable. I changed tubes, etcc..same thing... | |
| Parasound vs Emotiva I agree the Parasound is a higher end amp, however, for that extra bass punch, have you played around the crossover for your sub? Dead cutoff between sub and speakers may not always sound full based on your listening environment. | |
| Detachable Head shell or Not? The Yamamoto HS-4 is a fantastic headshell | |
| PS Audio BHK Signature Preamp? I’m running mine with Gold Lion 12au7s. The stock PSvanes sound wonderful as well. Not too much difference in sound between the two that would really make one take notice. | |
| Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60 @cal3713 one would think if the Pass Labs amps sound great thru Steve’s Klipsch speakers, probably similar with the ZU’s. Thanks for the suggestion. I will run direct dac and see what I hear different. | |
| PS Audio BHK Signature Preamp? I have one. It replaced a Rogue RP-5. The BHK is more refined sound and nicer build to the Rogue. I purchased mine before PSA went direct and one could get great prices. You may find one of PSA’s former dealers have some stock or a demo unit still... | |
| Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60 A couple of questions. I currently run the BHK preamp thru a Firtwatt J2. I have been considering going to an integrated amp. I have Zu Omen refs ( 96-101db) 1. would I miss the tubes going to the INT 25/60? 2. how would the pass 25 compare t... | |
| Video of my new NAGAOKA JT-80 MM Cartridge After a couple more days, the JT-80BK sounds even smoother. The manual says change stylus at 150-200 hours. However, people on other boards say that NAG has that in all of their cartridges and is a translation error. My KAB Concorde 40 (with FG st... | |
| Primaluna? Dumb question. Somebody mentioned earlier that the looks of PL components are not attractive. Can I assume one can leave the tube cage/ cover off with no problems? If that’s the case, the amp has pretty much the same general design of most tube am... |
