| General Initial Impressions--Genalex Gold Lion KT88 Reissue My amps take just about anything....they ship with EL34 and sound pretty good...They sounded really good with Gold Lion KT 66 , but I think the KT88 sounds best in my Quicksilver Mid Mono amps....just the right sound in my system. | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? I have a NAD M51, it's a great DAC and don't get me wrong, the volume control is best digital volume I've ever encountered. As great of a source component as it is, my system is much better all around with a preamp. Maybe it's an impedance mis... | |
| Tube rolling my preamp with 6922EH I should have mentioned the Mini watts are 6dj8 | |
| Tube rolling my preamp with 6922EH Brent Jesse sells quality tubes....I have a pair of Philips Mini watt that sound fantastic and some really nice RCA 12ax7a from him | |
| Help in selecting 1 of 3 amplifiers Go Rogue..... I have had good luck with several tube / mini monitor combinations. Those speakers have a great mid range that will exploit the virtues of tube amplification. Their support is supposed to be good, maybe others can comment | |
| What about output tubes...KT-88, KT-77, KT-120, KT-90, KT-99 I'm fortunate, my amp will take most common output tubes. It came stock with EL34, the EH EL34 are a great tube for the money....I have also used Gold Lion KT66 which are pricey but great, I think my favorite tube and currently in use is the Go... | |
| I've decided to try Tubes I meant Mid Monos.....damn spellcheck | |
| I've decided to try Tubes I agree with others who say Quicksilver......great amps and more importantly some of the best support in the business.....I have a pair of Middle Monos and love them, huge performance for the money. Super reliable and tough too, I had a driver... | |
| Oppo bdp-103 analog volume control I have a 103d connected to my preamp via the analog outs and the volume is smooth, has a wide range and is barely audible in the single digits. Its imperative to reset the factory defaults if you have updated the firmware. My unit was acting str... | |
| KT88 tubes for Monos I just put a pair of Gold Lion KT88 reissues in each of my Quicksilver Mid Monos ...... I was using KT66 but they had some hours on them, great tube but I wanted to try KT88s. Stock they came with EL34 which even in stock form they sound great... | |
| Oppo CD/ Channel Islands DAC connectivity issue I had a VDA 2 and thought it was pretty good for the money but you are right, the OPPO 103 sounds pretty good in its own right. I mostly use mine with my NAD M51 DAC but its outputs sound pretty damn good with SACD and HDCD for a $600 machine | |
| PSB Gold v PSB silveri Look at the PSB Platinum if you are looking for a great used speaker by PSB..... I regret selling mine , awesome speakers | |
| Quicksilver V4 amps with KT150 Mike's a great guy.... I needed some help when i re-tubed my mid monos. His support of his products is among the best of any company, large or small in my 35 years in this hobby. For what its worth I put Gold Lion kt88s in my amps and they are ... | |
| Need recommendation for a CD player The new Parasound CD player looks impressive. Or you could save a ton and buy a good universal player like the OPPO 105. I use an OPPO 103d with my DAC in a 2.1 system and it's great to be able to listen to any format including Blu-ray audio a... | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues I had great support from c-j, in fact shortly after buying my Classic 2 SE I emailed them on a Friday night regarding a suspected faulty tube....Saturday morning I received an email from Lew Johnson , he is a class act. They sent a new tube out... |
