| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Has anyone owned the ABH2 for a considerable amount of time and then decided to change? Just curious on long term impressions on the Benchmark.I've been running back and forth in my mind between tubes (Quicksilver, Rogue stereo 100, mc275) or stay... | |
| Rogue RP-7 vs. New RP-9 - What's the Difference? I have and love the RP-5. I always thought the RP-7 was a balanced version of the RP-5 without the phono. I'm sure there was more to it than that. I'll be curious how the RP-9 compares to the RP-7 AND Rp-5. | |
| Rogue RP-7 vs. New RP-9 - What's the Difference? Interesting | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? I am thinking of PL's myself (leaning toward Quicksilver though) and I would just remove the cages if the look does not suit me. I believe if one uses a kt150 tube, the cages must come off anyway | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? sorry to hear. McIntosh is one of those great "classic" American companies. Let's hope McIntosh does not go down the path of older "classic US names" like GM and start building junk. | |
| McIntosh mc275 If the amp is indeed defective from the factory, make sure you call McIntosh. Even if you do not keep the amp. That is unacceptable!! | |
| tube pre amp or tube amp Bass is the one thing that makes me hesitant about tube amps. I do use subwoofers, so I guess I really should not have a concern because I can always adjust it to make up for what I feel is missing on the low end. | |
| Why do some manufacturers reverse preamp polarity in the first place? So at the end of the day, it really does not matter how the speakers are wired. Interesting. | |
| Why do some manufacturers reverse preamp polarity in the first place? "That is because they do not read the manual."No mention in the Rogue manual | |
| Hey That's Not So Bad if It's Class D Class D amps from major manufacturers have never sounded terrible. The way some talk, one would think class D had CB Radio sound quality and Class A was HD fm radio. Even 20 years ago class D could sound very good. The sound difference is not anyt... | |
| PrimaLuna vs Mystere You can still buy a couple of the NOS Mystere amps at Upscale Audio. I really like the looks vs PL | |
| gold lion 12ax7 , au7 Will do | |
| Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers I'm thinking of the Quicksilver Sixty Watt Mono's for my ZU Omen defs. The Quicksilvers look nice with the chrome chassishttp://quicksilveraudio.com/products/sixty-watt-mono-amp/ | |
| Nuforce STA200 I'm looking forward to trying. Just curious, I wonder who makes a passive pre with all the bells and whistles? | |
| Nuforce STA200 Thanks for suggestion. I will try "sys only" this weekend. Now, I did use my Prebox S2 as a pre while my RP-5 was getting repaired and it performed outstanding. Finding a passive pre with all the features, inputs and remote as the rp-5 would be qu... |
