| Passive Pre-amp: Improves overall sound quality?? I will answer part of your question. The main circuit of a passive preamp typically does not require a power supply. So no AC power required. In some cases, such as those using Light Dependent Resistors a power supply and AC power is required. You... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Congrats George, a job well done. | |
| CEC TL5100Z -- repair or replace? Nick Gowan at True Sound also works on these. | |
| Best tube integrated? anyone know? If you can stretch it a bit the VAC Avatar SE is worth pursuing. I saw a listing for one on here recently for $2500. Not sure it is still available but having owned one I can say it is a fine sounding integrated amp.beven tempted me for a bit. | |
| Where to get GNSC mod CD player repaired GNSC officially closed shop and Steve is continuing his work with Resolution Audio. You might try contacting there and see if he might be of assistance. | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Spirit, if the review came out in Stereophile this month it will not be available online until next month. | |
| Speakers for low power tube amplifier You should consider Audiokinesis speakers. They are easy speakers to drive and offer great value for the money. I have used 12watt SET amps, 30 watt OTL amps, 35 watt push pull amps, and 225 watt solid state amps with my Jazz Modules and all sound... | |
| Beveridge speaker repair I am curious. Were those Counterpoint amplifiers the same ones that used the circuit that Roger sold to Counterpoint? I think they were marketed by Counterpoint as the SA-4. | |
| bass traps I have used Acoustimac as well and have experience with GIK. I use and prefer RealTraps. Cost you a bit more but more effective in my experience. | |
| Congestion, clarity problems gone: M.R. RM-9 This should explain the differences in the various versions of the RM-9. Second post is from Roger:http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=43386.0Coupling capacitors were not replaced, nor do I feel these would make a difference in Roger's circ... | |
| Congestion, clarity problems gone: M.R. RM-9 Thanks for the update. The RM-9 is a great amp. Since you have the MkI version down the road you might consider sending it to Roger to be upgraded to MkII. | |
| Does OTL pre-amplifier exist? IIRC there is a direct coupled version of the Cary SLP-98 available from Upscale Audio. I think it is called the F1. | |
| Accuphase P-300, worth upgrading? I believe Accutech in SoCal would be the best resource to restore the P-300. If I owned one that is where I would send it. | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? You can tailor the sound through the topology.I think my point is you start with the circuit, and the specs which should provide 99% of the sound of the unit.This is what I gleaned from Ralph's posts above. Good quality and reliable parts, and not... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Here is a quote from a very famous designer (a degreed engineer) who has no qualms and makes no apologies for using negative feedback in his designs (although he has designed amps using zero negative feedback as well) but is certainly conscious of... |
