| Speaker Slip Covers I had Custom Amp Covers make black vinyl covers for my Von Schweikert VR-4 speakers. I had to provide dimensions for them. That was a few years ago, but I think they'd do it. They've made several covers for me. Mostly guitar amps and cabs. ht... | |
| Preamp for my CODA 5.5 amp He asked what owners of Coda amps were using for preamps. I told him what I used. What's random about that? | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit I believe the Philps PCC88 tube that I linked earlier (Tube Depot) is/was being sold by c-j. If I'm not mistaken, I was told the c-j buys that particular tube. Below is a link from a post on another forum. That was one person's experience with t... | |
| Preamp for my CODA 5.5 amp @corelli The LTA preamp works well with the solid state Coda amp. I like the combination, anyway. It replaced a conrad-johnson preamp. It's not a real warm sounding tube preamp compared to the older conrad-johnson, but I prefer the sound of the LT... | |
| Preamp for my CODA 5.5 amp I'm using a Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp with my Coda Continuum No 8 V1. It's a tube preamp. | |
| Speakers for a coda 5.5 amp Von Schweikert Endeavor RE. My amp is a Coda Continuum No 8 V1. | |
| Rega Brio R vs Yamaha M2 @stereo5 That was probably the same Tweeter chain. I lived in Maine at the time, but I think the store was in Portsmouth. I went from the Adcom and NAD to a Coda amplifier and conrad-johnson tube preamp. Speakers changed to Von Schweikert VR-4. | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay @brylandgoodman The Gustard X-30 showed up this afternoon. I'll start by saying that I won't be sending it back. It's everything that I'd read in the reviews. Better detail and imaging without any harshness. Puncher bass. I would say it's holog... | |
| Rega Brio R vs Yamaha M2 @stereo5 My first separates were a Yamaha power amp and Yamaha preamp. I upgraded to the Adcom GFA555 and a NAD 1300 preamp. With Vandersteen 2C speakers. It was pretty nice. I had a very limited budget. | |
| Rega Brio R vs Yamaha M2 @stereo5 Tweeters is a name I haven't heard for years. Not sure if it's the same store, but my Adcom GFA555 came from a Tweeters store. Portsmouth, NH, I think. | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit Below is a link to the tubes that were recommended to me for the Premier 17LS2. I believe they are NOS from the late 60's. This is reportedly a longer lasting tube. It's my understanding the c-j cranks up the juice on the tubes in some of their... | |
| Best Integrated Amp/Preamp with Full 3-Band EQ for Jensen LS-6B Speakers? Budget $3.5K I should mention that vintage gear can be prone to needing repairs. If you go that route, maybe find one that's had the capacitors replaced, etc. I only pulled the one from eBay as an example of a receiver with an EQ. | |
| Best Integrated Amp/Preamp with Full 3-Band EQ for Jensen LS-6B Speakers? Budget $3.5K I'm not familiar with those speakers, but a little Googling seems to indicate that they weren't real high end speakers. My concern is that you'd spend $3500 and not be happy with the results. What did your father use for an amp? Have you heard ... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit @jimbones Did you ever try Philips Holland 7DJ8 / PCC88 tubes in the ET-5? I bought a bunch of them for the 17LS2 (it takes four tubes). I had read that they sound good and they last longer. Tube Depot has them for $59. I was bummed when I ha... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit I had a conrad-johnson PV-14L preamp. The best tubes were a little hard to find (Mullard M8080), but they lasted forever. I upgraded to a Premier 17LS2, but it developed an issue and I returned it. I went to a LTA MicroZOTL preamp. It's not kno... |
