| Sadly missed manufacturers Wingate were some great amps. Versa Dynamics and Kiseki cartridges..although I hear someone has resurrected them. Highwire cables. ( seems like a lot of cable Co's come and go like the wind!) TG audio. Are Audible Illusions still going? | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Trumweiller, please thank Ken from me. Ken's response was very illuminating and educational. I do agree that the noise from my CAT is quite minimal. I have rolled in tubes into both stages....NOS Mullards into the Line stage and NOS GE long plates... | |
| which SS power amp for CAT SL1 Renaissance Masilu, I use a Jeff Rowland model 8 with choke with my modded CAT Sig. Works like, and sounds like, they were made for each other. You might try one of Jeff's newer amps...the 625, or better still-- and depending on budget, the 825. IMHO, Jeff ma... | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Ralph, thank you. I was beginning to believe that my tube phono section was faulty...same with the preamp. Particularly after reading some of the other posts on this thread. BUT, I kind of figured that some of these examples aren't all tube phono ... | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Ralph, is it possible to make a tubed phono section without a SUT that is noiseless? | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? I'm not sure that any high gain tube preamp and phono stage will sound completely quiet when the gain is turned up and there is no music playing. I have never heard such a piece. OTOH, I do agree that so long as the tube noise doesn't appear to be... | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Ralph, that's interesting. I do use a fairly low output MC. However, I am hearing noise not when music is playing, BUT when it isn't. So, by lifting the arm of the record and increasing the gain, I do hear tube rush...which lead me to my OP. Are y... | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? In my instance, the tube noise is through my phono stage, however, the line stage also exhibits some noise. The tubes are rolled in NOS from Kevin at Upscale and are supposedly the lowest noise he stocks! They do sound great, BUT they are audible ... | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? I'm actually talking about when the volume is turned up and no music is playing. IOW putting one's ear to the speakers without the CD or LP playing and at a typical volume level. The noise is then evident, which I would believe would lead to some ... | |
| Muse Model 18 with Hales Signature System Two Hans, I don't have the personality card for the Hales or own the Hales System 2 Sig's anymore. However, I would try and adjust the sub to x-over at about 75hz..as I recall the Hales dropped off severely below that. Do you have the round MB Quart t... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale This constant myth that the LP12 goes out of set-up easily just ain't so folks.I had my LP12 with Valhalla for nearly 20 years with no issues with regards to set-up. The TT does indeed need to be set-up correctly in the first place, BUT once that ... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale Dctom, you might want to go out and listen to a top shelf LP12. The Radikal is a MAJOR upgrade over the older Lingo....particularly the older shoe box version.I also think the Kore or Keel sub chassis makes a nice improvement.To state that a 2004 ... | |
| upgrade from Audio Research SP6C Cyngus 859, IF you heard a correctly set up CAT SL1 you should have heard a MAJOR MAJOR jump in SQ over your SP6C. I had an SP8 in my system and I can tell you the CAT is in a whole different league. To really hear what the CAT can do, you have to... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale Dctom states: "The LP12 has had its day. I had a couple over a 20 year period. It does need regular attention which is not difficult if you know what to do.IMO it is now outclassed by better designs."Which tells me that Dctom hasn't recently heard... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale I think the answer to the question has to do with what you touched on...they are NOT in vogue right now. One of the issues with LP12 ownership...good or bad, depending on your perspective; is the upgradability. While the older models are NOT that ... |
