| What am I missing? Pre/power gain and input sensitivity. I’m a prime example of what Ralph has stated above. For about 6 years I owned a well thought of phono pre and just thought the tics and pops were part of the vinyl. Couldn’t believe the difference and improvement when changing phono preamp. If pla... | |
| Religious music for less than devout Terry Evans and Hans Theessink with an assist from Ry Cooder,Delta Time is a great album. "Heavens Airplane" and "Walk on Home" both in a very traditional gospel tradition. Paul Butterfield Better Days has a cover of the Blind Willie Johnson's "N... | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? Recently purchased a Supratek Chardonnay and told Mick just put in the best of everything, about $3500. KenRads, Psvane, GE, Sylvanias, Bad Boys and Chrome Domes, Shuguang, and a couple of others. Psvane CV181 TII won the day. Best bass combined w... | |
| Transfi Owners Ideas Well Miller, as far as I know total contact is no longer available but have ordered the fo.Q. And Steve, I have yet to put my carbon arm into action. But if you say the improvement is there, I have the free time on my hands may lead me to do just ... | |
| What would you say is THE MOST important factor to good imaging? Big part is the recording. Other components having superior phase characteristics. | |
| Power Conditioners---old electrics in my house. I have balanced power, a wall unit plus BPT unit. Really good but not what you're looking for.What's Best Forum, My Clean Power Adventures by tMallen. Long but well written and concludes with a solution you may find attractive. | |
| Different Tubes and general purpose? Just read the Uncle Doug's explanation, thanks. Gunners, while this forum will give many points of view and numerous prescriptions for getting that midrange that you are looking for it will come down to trial and error. Getting the balance of freq... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? I have a pair of REL 212s, main speakers with their own powered subwoofers. So far the best sub position has been to place them just a bit beside the listening position, slightly to the rear. Without one of the various room measurement programs ev... | |
| More Dynamic Speakers Than Vienna Acoustic IMO your'e either looking at Klipsch or Zu. Your setup screams for high efficiency speakers. As often for most of us, getting what you want within a price point is the rub. Zu Soul Supremes probably fit your system but they rarely show up for sale... | |
| Anyone else grateful that they got hooked on this crazy addiction Music, for me and I'm sure many others on here, is absolutely in a class all by itself in it's ability to take us to another place. With other media nowadays doing nothing but attempting to brainwash us, the option to pick our own form of entertai... | |
| More Dynamic Speakers Than Vienna Acoustic The new Perfect Set speaker from Tekton looks interesting. $1800 | |
| Supratek..Cabernet 6SN7 or Cabernet DHT Mick says he prefers the 6SN7 model, so that's what I purchased. If you get the DHT model have them ship it to me and I will break it in for you. | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? The technology may well be there to keep the noise floor down with an integrated and don’t think one can assume a superior sound with separates.Thinking here that a separate power supply for the integrated would certainly have advantages. I will s... | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? Not to say there aren't some really nice integrated amps out there but in my present system my power supplies for the preamp and phono pre are separate. The makers of these probably wouldn't go to this trouble if it weren't a step up. I mean I gue... | |
| REL Subwoofer. Your input requested Also have a pair of 212SE subs. Haven't quite dialed them in but getting closer. Have speakers with down firing subs in their base so in essence have 4 subs. The RELs have increased my enjoyment of my system. Can't compare them as they are my firs... |
