| Time for a Pre change? Need the wisdom... I agree with @treebeard1. I use the duelund, made my own pair and it was super easy and a great investment. For some details see this link (with more links included). A number of threads around here to...http://www.hifihaven.org/index.php?threa... | |
| Bypass capacitor position? Thanks for the input everyone. I went with the tinned copper cast option. Figured I might as well match the speaker cables... And just a step more expensive than the straight coopers. Not eye watering like the silvers.@grannyring I read on one rev... | |
| Bypass capacitor position? Everything is mirrored, but you’ll notice that the yellow REL-caps are in the same position (i.e., both next to the leftmost power supply capacitor)... sorry, I should have been clearer about what capacitor I was talking about.I put in the Duelund... | |

| Preamp help for First Watt J2/ZU Omens combo No idea if I'll agree with these super positive reviews, but another good one for The Truth pre-amp just came out. Hopefully I'll post some agreement in a week or two...http://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/the_truth_e.html | |
| Preamp help for First Watt J2/ZU Omens combo I haven't gotten to try mine yet (it's coming next week), but you might investigate the hornshoppe "the truth" pre. It's at your price point, with a 30 day trial period. Various threads around, and a detailed review at: http://www.high-endaudio.co... | |
| Duelund 16ga vs. 12ga @grannyring Thanks Bill. | |
| Duelund 16ga vs. 12ga thanks folks... | |
| Shindo Masseto + Coincident Frankenstein versus Nagra 300i integrated @tinear123 If you need a remote, Coincident is out. I believe they had reliability issues with the remote version, hence the removal of the product from their catalog. | |
| Atma-Sphere in CO? @brownsfan & @atmasphere great, thanks for the information. I'll do some checking, swap out some of the 6sn7s for some nos ones I've got around, and do some more listening tonight. | |
| Atma-Sphere in CO? @atmasphere Unfortunately The Music Room wouldn't provide any extra tubes... they do have a tube tester, but stated: "while we can test the tubes, that may not really give you the information you are looking for, we can test to see if it is worki... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? @pwhinson Interesting. I had Thiel 2.4s and tried out both an X250.5 and an XA30.5... ended up keeping the XA as it just had a more natural sound and didn't give up as much in the bass as I thought it would. | |
| Speakers for First Watt SIT-1 amp Regarding the SIT amps and high impedance loads. I tried out a SIT2 with my Coincident Super Eclipse III speakers (14 ohm nominal, 10 ohm minimum) and Nelson Pass had me buy a couple different resistors to add across the speaker terminals in orde... | |
| Atma-Sphere in CO? @atmasphere Interesting. I do believe there is at least one bad tube in the amp. I had a channel go out and was able to flip which channel it was by switching out the tube complement. I got a new set of 4 output tubes from TMR and rectified the pr... | |
| Atma-Sphere in CO? @atmasphere I never found out from TMR. They had the 6sn7s in the 2x2 configuration, but had rounded edges on the power supply cover. Would love to hear a fully updated version at some point in the future, but only have funds for the units themse... |
