| Tube preamp for SS amp I've had many many tube pre and SS amp and agree with Kyomi_audio that output impedance is an important aspect to consider in a tube preamp.You definitely have more tube rolling options with 6sn7 and 6922/e88cc but not all 6h30 situations sound li... | |
| Is Joule-Electra still in business? Jud Barber doesn't answer e-mails anymoreDidn't you make this complaint several months ago? I thought it was resolved? My advice is sell it if not happy with the support/service. | |
| The future of preamps Arthur is a man with opinions like all of us. It is strange all of the products he says are the best of the best are Coincident. Is this just a coincidence for Coincident? Highly unlikely in all honesty folks. At the minimum, it simply reflects hi... | |
| Price Increases No doubt that most manufactures 'stick it' to us customers.What manufacturer is forcing you to buy their products NOT including the government? If you don't like their products or policies, shop elsewhere. | |
| Price Increases Call me provincial, but I happen to believe in the dignity of hard work and a fair return on labor.No problem with hard work but market SHOULD determine a FAIR wage for your given skill set and talent. As always, government intervenes with politic... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I use a SB Touch digital out to DAC only for internet radio. I could not believe the improvement after replacing the Touch noisy SPS with a LPS. It appears SPS is adding noise even when not in used. Removing it from the system was one of the best ... | |
| Price Increases A) Something's worth whatever the buyer pays for it.Yep! Unless you have manipulation or price fixing by governments.Apparently not enough demand for LSA integrated amps so selling direct and slashing price?VAC is jacking up prices without changes... | |
| The future of preamps Audiolabyrinth, LOL! If you're considering a tube pre in this price range, also checkout VAC SigMKIIa. LOL! It's only takes 2 e88cc/6922/7308 so easy to roll, very sensitive to tube rolling so you can dial in the sound you desire LOL! LOL!, it can... | |
| Price Increases Of course you are right Johnk, but I think the concern here is the 50-100% or more increase in cost of flagship models from numerous lines.Why is a concern? Companies can raise or drop prices WITH or WITHOUT changes to a product. All market driven... | |
| The future of preamps Did you use your Light speed preamp with the Krells? Seems like it would be a suitable match .No Charles. The Krells were long gone before the Lightspeed. When it comes to impedance matching, sometimes theory <> practice. ie: On paper, McInt... | |
| The future of preamps @ Atmasphere, Hi, If your preamp M-1 is direct coupled, what do you use to safe guard from DC exsposure if I attempted to use your product with the krell 700cx?I've only use tube preamps (Sonic Frontier, AI, CJ, VAC ...) with all my Krells amps (K... | |
| Price Increases With no updates to design I cannot understand why the price hikes.Because they can ... simple supply, demand and price! | |
| Mono amps and different length speaker cables Why assume that unequal lengths won't be better than equal lengths?As I indicated earlier, I see no reason to make that assumption, at least in the biwire situation the OP appears to be describing. And a similar argument could probably be made for... | |
| Mono amps and different length speaker cables 12-13-13: GrannyringGet out the ruler as one of your cables may actually be an inch or two longer! LOLYou are missing the point! | |
| Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110? 12-12-13: MikewernerYeah, I have a BMW motorcar. I'm glad that the service department never answers their calls.Who needs them, anyway?My car runs GREAT!I have never heard such nonsense as from salectricThere will always be Honda and Porsche drive... |
