| Thinking out loud: solid state Linestage < $2k? @patrickdowns the LDR V2 is very interesting. Certainly under budget. Thanks I will definitely rabbit hole this out | |
| Thinking out loud: solid state Linestage < $2k? @ebm under $2k? I wish. | |
| Thinking out loud: solid state Linestage < $2k? @soix good question. I think I’m wanting a not laid back presentation. It makes sense in my head but I’m not sure I can put that into words.@jjss49 the solid state Vision SLR pretty much ticks all the boxes. That may very well be my next. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @leemazei got Mullards and they are, after 60 or so hours now making noise. I’m going to try to return them to upscale and switch back to the RCA’s. Unless this is somehow electricalnoise then this preamp is a tube destroyer, although I went a yea... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @donvito I researched the hell out of it. You should read a thread before commenting in it. Go ahead and search. Let me know what you come up with: TLDR zero.never said anything was wrong with it and in the original post I noted that I realized ab... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @decooney 2 emails and 2 voicemail. It’s fine. Things are running and I’ll be moving on the QS next year anyway. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @slaw mentioned up thread. Emails and voicemails unreturned. Sh*t service. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @leemaze I had that issue too when the RCA's were on their last legs. Intermittent super high pitch whine. Seems to come on more often the longer they were burning in a single session. Might be tubes going bad. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Called quicksilver and no one answered. Left message again. The replacement tube from Brent Jessee showed up though so we are back in business. Interestingly enough, the slight gain reduction from the Sys is as good on the RCA’s as it was in the P... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @jackd I will definitely look to the W4S preamp. Semi OT, but have you any experience with their phono stage? | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @jackd agreed. I have a Schiit SYS now in the chain between the QS and the Odyssey. A slight drop on the SYS’ volume knob helps as well as switching the input at startup. Not sexy but it works.As for attenuators, I have a pair of 12db one (I forg... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @yogiboy the purpose of the thread was bad tubes. Gain is a design issue. For now good tubes are the answer until I can search more into other varieties. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @yogiboy Upscale suggested it. It’ll be high gain obviously but I’ll give it a shot. I’ll also look into AY and AU as well. Spent more than I planned but it’ll be a test to see how good the betting is I suppose.@decooney with my mostly quiet but... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @aj523 the newest pair I got the noise was so bad the neighbors can hear it. Its not subtle. I thought speakers were going to blow. Volume position makes no difference.I sent the bad tube to Brent Jessee, along with a return paid label to ship bac... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @rodman99999 I will try that after thanksgiving. We have many turkeys to buy this year.@yogiboy well it’s not anything to make people gasp. But it makes me happy when I actually get to spin a few sides. No piece over $1700 other than the speaker... |
