| Cary MB CAD 500 amp They mainly do tubes. Why do they have to build on something that is this good? | |
| Budget amp recommendation needed CJ MF200 here for cheap. Owned 1 puts out 250w a side.Liked it better than Odyssey. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Agreed I was thinking of getting some marble cut or some corian. That's a little over the top though. I will purchase some speaker dampening material for the insides of the unit, and try my bike tube underneathI really love my Supratek. Have had m... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Believe it or don't! Ever heard or sympathetic vibrations. Websters dictionary. * Main Entry: sympathetic vibration * Function: noun * Date: 1898: a vibration produced in one body by the vibrations of exactly the same period in a neighboring body.... | |
| Suitable tube preamp for pass labs x250 Used all of these preamps on my X150.In order of what I think worked best - all preamps worked well. 1. Supratek Chardonney (more tubey sounding warmer deeper bass) no longer made though.2. Modwright SWL9.0 (better soundstage more focused sound mo... | |
| wyred4sound amps Good to know I also have ET LFT 8A soon to be 8B speakers! I guess my Pass Labs amp isn't going anywhere, and why should it? Nelson Pass has been in this business decades longer than most of these class D amp manufacturers. Not saying class D is b... | |
| wyred4sound amps Haven't heard the wyred4sound amps, but I own a Pass X150 amp (prior to the newer .5 amps). I have compared this amp to many others - and it is the best I have heard. I would be surprised if the wyred4sound amps sound as good as the current Pass a... | |
| Joule LA100 MKIII or Granite Audio 770FP or Modwrt I had the Modwright and the Joule. Two different sounds. The Joule was more tubey and the Modwright was neutral. The Modwright was more refined and faster though. I ended up keeping the Modwright at the time. The Joule is much more plump in the mi... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thats corect | |
| Belles 150A Ref Mod ? Careful. Mercedes rims on a Toyota doesn't make it a Mercedes. Though it made handle better. These caps have received a lot of good press. They will sound different. Better is for you to decide. The designer of the preamp and amp designed them at ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I am not aware of any of the parts coming loose from any inmates that own Supratek. Opened mine up to upgrade some caps and all was intact. The caps I replaced should not have come loose in shipping unless the unit was really banged around meaning... | |
| Repair my C-J PV11 or try to replace? Also had 1. Keep it and get it fixed. It has the sound you are after, and can't be beat with the great phono stage.Send it to Bill and he can even make it better. Get a cheap non oversampling DAC to add to your Rotel if it has Digital output. Migh... | |
| Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around Agree on the Stratos statement had one. The CJ SS amps tend toward tube warmth. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey Fiddler! Thanks for the caps they sound great! I bet your Supratek is sounding incredible. I will have to try the 7193 tube mod sometime. I actually think the stock EH 6sn7 tubes sound best most extended although the Tunsol Black Plates are a ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I bet the Duelunds are more linear not as warm. I emailed another Supratek owner that upgraded to Vcaps from Mundorfs and he likes the change. He GAVE me his Mundorf caps! What a saint! Gotta love him for being so generous! I have read that one re... |
