| Are there any budget tubed preamps that stand out Maple Tree Audio Design 4A or 6SE. Godspeed. | |
| Best preamp for Odyssey Stratos? As Amandarae mentioned above, the Supratek is a great preamp for the Odyssey (also true for almost every amp out there). The Bent NOH if you decide to take the "less is more" route is also superb and can drive the Odyssey very well. Yes, I'm the b... | |
| Njoe Tjoeb 4000 Upsampler Take the time to break-in everything including the player and tubes then listen with and without the upsampler. You will retract your position on this. The upsampler break in time wise is about 500 hrs. You can expedite by using a burn in device l... | |
| Final Labs Music-6 amp or First Watt F1 amp? Hello guys. I'm presently building the Bob Brines version cabinet for the 200A. Great design and excellent instructions. The 200A is only 91db sensitive and I don't think 3 watts will do them justice. I'm planning to run mine with a 8-watt 300B SE... | |
| Mcintosh 1700 You can use 4 speakers (2 pairs) on the Mac. It has Main and Remote sets of binding post. Impedance is not a problem for most Macs have an autoformer so it doesn't matter if your speakers are 4/8/16 ohms. Just like Aball said, you might want to ch... | |
| NOn Audiophile Review of the Teres 160 Thanks again people. Amandarae, I'm happy with my table as it is right now. I don't think I'll change anything in the near future except maybe the clamp if Chris has one that will match the color scheme of my TT, and I'll trade the platter for the... | |
| NOn Audiophile Review of the Teres 160 Thanks guys. TWL, I don't know if is appropriate but I like to take your advice on those Stillpoints(?) one of these days, just can't remember which ones. | |
| VPI Scout or Michell Technodec? Please consider Teres 135 in your hunt. Way better than the two even with all the upgrades you will do. I had a fully tweaked Scout and my brother a well upgraded Gyrodec. No contest. | |

| would you bother? Well, lets just say, if you will not bother, you will never know. It is not a requirement for vinyl afficionados to be rich. I started 9 months ago without any LP to call my own. Just like TWL, I accumulated more vinyl than expected in such a shor... | |
| Origin Live Illustrious Tonearm Thanks guys. I think my dealer forgot some things. I'll call him ASAP. | |
| Cable help I owned and heard (from my brother) both the Monster Z1, Z2, and the MIT Terminator. In our experience, both of these are no good. Compared to the half priced Signal Cable, these 2 are colored. Signal Cable as well as other good DIY cables are muc... | |
| Pairing tube pre with SS amp Tim,Take a look at MapletreeAudio preamps. The Ultra 4 I think is within your price range. Very good preamps, worth 3x the price. Bettered my and my brother's preamp costing, $1000-1500. Dr. Lloyd is a wonderful and knowledgeable guy. Its a shame ... | |
| Value of inexpensive linestage preamps? Hello,Please take a look into Mapletree Audio Design (MAD). Dr. lloyd Peppard's products are too good for the price he sells them. The Octal 6A is a very good line stage. Happy listening. | |
| Odyssey Stratus or Parasound Halo A23? Go with the Stratos, the $250 more that you will spent is well worth the difference between the 2 amps. Depending on your speakers, source etc.,the Halo can be a good amp if you are not into "loud" listening and " head banging" volume levels. Howe... |
