| Preamp Deal of the Century I forgot to thank Jazzdude, he was the first one to let me know about the HAL-O damping instruments and the first one to talk about it here (i think). Thank you, Jazzdude. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I´d like to recommend two products that I´ve tried lately and that in my opinion help to improve the sound.The first one is the Foundation Research power cords, LC1 and LC2, (thanks David). I use them in my cd player, Syrah, and Cary 805c. I can... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite, the Cabernet only uses two regulators because it´s only a line pre. The Grange uses two pair of regulators one for the line and the other pair for phono wich is housed in a seperate unit and this way it does benefit from having it's own r... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century When I asked in the previous post what tubes can be used in the Cabernet "besides" PX4 or 300B I wanted to say "in place" the PX4 or 300B providing they don´t use more than 1,5 A of filament current. Thanks. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Mick can build now the Cabernet to be used with PX4 or 300B, with a switch on power supply to chooose which one you want to use.It´s possible to use other tubes in place PX4 or 300B as long as they don't use more than 1.5A of filament current.Any... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century SÃ, Feliz Navidad para todos desde España. Or in other words: Merry Christmas to all of you from Spain.Special thanks to you Tom for starting this great gathering.Gracias! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Today I´ve tried the iPod as a source connected to the Syrah and the amazing CAD 805C. The iPod is a surprising good litle machine, big sound, smooth, good bass...Really something special. | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century I asked Mick about wich one of SAUVIGNON (linestage of Cortese) or CABERNET (linestage of Grange) would work better with single ended triodes like Cary 805C.He said that although the CABERNET is the cream of their preamps both have the ability to ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I changed the Alps for the DACT attenuator. After some weeks it seems to me that the sound is clearer but not by a BIG margin and if you need the remote control it doesn´t worthwhile in my opinion. But if you can do it without the remote, any imp... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ecmlee, the Mullard GZ34 or the Philips Miniwatt GZ34 metal base are better rectifiers then the Bendix or the Mullard GZ32 in my opinion, so rectifiers in your upgraded Syrah shouldn´t be a problem.BTW I didn´t know that´s possible to upgrade t... | |
