| Songs Faber Olympica I vs Dynaudio Contour 20 - My Review Did anyone listen to the Contour 20 speakers with tube amplification or was it all solid state? I have heard the C20 with tubes and it was not at all analytical. Is the C20 the problem or was it just playing what it was fed? | |
| Schiit Mani - Sent in for repair, no response. Looking for rec's on a replacement preamp This is a real late reply but just my two cents: as to Schiit not answering their phone etc., I find that to be a little sad. If one has ever dealt with Rogue and called them you always get a real person. Heck, I even had Mark O'Brien answer and h... | |
| What amp for tannoy xt6f ? I second the suggestion for the Rogue Cronus. I am using tube amps with my XT6F speakers and the realism and musical splendor cannot be beat. | |
| Amplification Recommendations For Magnepan .7 This this is an old posting I realize but if anyone is still looking for a recommendation of an amp to use with the .7 Maggie's, any of the Balanced Audio Technology solid state amps are a wonderful match and hit the "sonic baseball" out of the pa... | |
| Review: Amadi Maddie Signature Interconnect This this is reply to an old post but if anyone is long for information on Amadi cables this might be helpful. I am using Phil Reference between a tube preamp (Rogue RP-5) and a BAT VK-500 amp. I am also using silver speaker cable. I do not find t... | |
| Interconnect Cables Amadi cables. Pure magic. The Phil Reference spanked my WireWorld Eclipse 7 interconnects as well all of my Nordost Heimdall. Write to Philip and he will help you plus if you don't like his cables he will refund your money. After 20+ years of tryi... | |
| Let's talk power cords I hate this topic because it is one that is so contentious but I agree with the gentleman who said that his brain says that there should not be a difference, and yet his ears tell him otherwise. And add to that even my wife and daughter hear diffe... | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses I get so sick and tired of the "people" who are always kicking, screaming, pouting, and whatever else they feel the need to do as they rant about measurements. So, To all the measurement people I put this out there: do you go to concerts, symphoni... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Geez,I got a real headache reading about all you poor people sitting on pins and needles waiting for this answer or that response from ARC. I learned early on in life that people who do not answer your questions when confronted with them numerous ... | |
| looking at 2 phono pre amps If you are using a Rega table and cartridge then the Croft gear is what you want. Listen to a Croft RIAA. I have one that I am using with a Rega RP-6 and Exact 2 cartridge and the match between the two is spectacular plus I understand Glenn Croft ... | |
| Preamp phono suggestions I second the motion for a Croft RIAA - very musical tube sound without the detriments associated with tubes(no bass, rolled off etc.) and a very simplistic design so little to go wrong. | |
| Ascend Sierra 1 Reference vs. Era D5 Re-reading my post from 11-06-12 I would like to add one thing should anyone still be reading these threads and it is this: the D5 needs quality electronics with which to be partnered. At a price of $999, I am afraid the D5 will be partnered with ... | |
| good stand speakers with good low end People,Bass is the correct spelling. Bass is what you hear, "base" is where you tag up, or slide into, or have on the bottom of something. Look it up... | |
| Top ten tube preamps Add to the list the deHavilland UltraVerve III with the remote and a good NOS 6SN7. I am using one to drive a McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe and things sound glorious. | |
| Jolida jd-502p My mistake; the 12AT7 Mullard is a CV 4024, not a CV 4004. The 4004 is a 12AX7.. |
