| Suggested tube amp with First Sound Deluxe? I second the ASL Hurricane recommendation! | |
| What is a good Preamp with ASL Hurricanes? I'm using a First Sound Presence Deluxe MKII, and it is a very synergistic, complimentary match for my Hurricanes. I've been through 5 other preamps over the last year, but my search is over. Extremely pleased with it! | |
| time to discuss kt-88's I'm also running EH KT88s, 16 of them, on my ASL Hurricane monoblocks. A worthy upgrade to the stock tubes! | |
| Latest First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II Upgrades Funny that you ask. My FS PDMKII is from 2000. I am scheduled to send it in for the upgrade during the first week of May. It's a great sounding preamp that I already love, so we'll see what the $600 gets me. The upgrade consists of fully implement... | |

| Sorry, yet another Wow, I better be careful what I wish for next time....Stella Got Her Groove back, and I got my bass back! Bass up the wazoo (I need to reposition my speakers now as it's almost too much), and great slam!I'm still going to try some of the tweaks me... | |
| Sorry, yet another Hi Brian, the JC-1s are a little over a year old, bought them preowned (but mint) from a fellow A-gonner for a decent price and no shipping. I realize there's no warranty for subsequent owners. I wouldn't have bought 'em new from another dealer kn... | |

| Sorry, yet another I've got the top module seperated via Vibrapods from the bottom bass module (2 #5s and 2 #3s). The speakers sit on decent aftermarket solid brass spikes, on 1 1/2" granite slabs.The JC-1s have 135 amps of peak current, so they should be able to co... | |
| Tube Amp suggestions for VSA VR4-SE's? Louis, I have the latest version of the Hurricanes, which have the triode switch, stiffened chassis, the green PIO caps, and the enhanced bias system, where there are 4 bias pots on either side of the chassis. I rolled in EH KT88s and have been pl... | |
| Tube Amp suggestions for VSA VR4-SE's? You fail to mention your front end that's driving your amps, e.g. the preamp and CD player. Those components will also affect the "involvement" factor that you are so hungry for as much as the amps will.I run the ASL Hurricanes in my system now, w... | |
| Best tube amp or mono blocks within 5 k new/used. Speaking of KT-88s, the ASL Hurricanes are wonderful, especially for the $$. There's a few of them listed here, btw. Buy a bunch of LPs or CDs with the $$ you save. | |
