| Audio Research pre-amps? I gotta second the love for the sp16, its a very focused preamp. The preamp is not bright at all, the bass isnt super deep but tight, punchy and fast. That preamp and a decent turntable is a good combo. If your looking for a more tuby sounding pre... | |
| Tung sol 6550 tube smell?? ok thanks guys, i can listen with no fear now lol | |
| Sandy's Impact on your Listening Just got my power back, but being without a stereo for a week I'm now picking out albums i wouldn't have listened too a week ago. | |
| Blue Point No. 2 on a RB250 The blue pont no. 2 is an excellent cartridge for that price. It has a very clear sound, surface noise is not in the way, and its pretty fast too. I'm not familiar with rega but don't go crazy with anti skating. This cart doesn't really need much,... | |
| ARC SP16 vs SP8 Wow i gotta say with the speakers 6 feet apart, 4 feet out into the room and sitting 8 feet back, the system is much more stereophonic. Fantastic actually you guys nailed it and i was looking at the preamp. The speed of the sp16, vs110 and maggies... | |
| ARC SP16 vs SP8 Thank you everyone for your help. I think im gonna keep the preamp and work on speaker positioning. Moving them around as wide as i can get has helped. I also tried tilting the speakers slightly downward because the stands made for the mc1 are 24 ... | |
| ARC SP16 vs SP8 Honestly from what i heard about the 10, the cost to retube it is alot. What i do like about the 16 is how neutral it is, im not sure if i would like a warmer coloration. I think the 16 is more closer to the sound of your 15 than the 10, but mabey... | |
| ARC SP16 vs SP8 Yea im starting to think that even 6 feet apart is still not enough, im gonna have to live with it. Im not sure how far i should sit from the speakers. | |
| ARC SP16 vs SP8 Oh yea as far as cables are, i use tara labs prime m2 from the turntable to the preamp, tara air 2 from the preamp to amp, audioquest rocket 88 speaker cables, and shunyata venom power cords. | |
| ARC SP16 vs SP8 Nick, you make a great point, i might have my speakers too close to eachother. I will try to space them further apart. My room is small which is why i bought magnepan mc1 on stands with a sub for the low end. They are about 4 feet from the wall. I... | |
| New 12AX7s from Audio Research Yup v4 is the right rear slot of the preamp. If you look close at the board the numbers should be printed next to the slots. | |
| New 12AX7s from Audio Research The $55 dollar tube is the low noise tube and should go in v4 in the sp16 for a quiter phono stage. I just received these west germany tubes too and they sound great, very transparent. The sp16 sounds warmer to me with these tubes. They are worth ... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood In "The Mechanic"(remake)Jason Statham plays a pro-ject rpm 9.2 and a tube amp, not sure what it was though. |
