| Tubes for Conrad Johnson PV 12 preamp I have a PV 3 preamp and love the sound, I use:12AX7 Telefunken (cost various)12AU7 Mullard NOS ($35 a piece)I think you would be much more pleased with NOS tubes. The 12AU7's are pretty cheap so it is not cost prohibitive on your unit. | |
| 1st Post - Semi Vintage vs. New I completely agree with Jmcgrogan2. Your speakers are awesome and would sound great with tubes! | |
| Peachtree Reliability issues? If you search previous posts about Peachtree, you will find talk about reliablity issues. A friend of mine is on his 3rd Decco. He loves the sound but hates the fact he knows it probably will not last... The dealer that sold it to him no longer re... | |
| Partial system Upgrade: Pre-Proc vs 2channel+DAC If you listen to mostly music, go with a 2-channel rig. (suggestion #2) The Emotiva DAC is excellent, you will not be dissapointed! | |
| What reviews do you trust if any? I prefer reviews from the users on A-gon. Luckily there are plenty of engineers, techs, and hi-fi old-timers that have wonderful knowledge to share.. | |
| B&W 685 vs. Epos Epic 2 I also agree the 685 is musical, not clinical at all. You may want to consider Paradigm also if there is a dealer in your area. | |
| Tube based surround sound amp??? You have a wonderful rig, you will be taking a step backwards... I would look into the Dared DV-6C, it is a 5.1 channel hybrid tube/ss that has gotten some very nice reviews and is pretty cheap. | |
| Best Dock , DAC Pure i20 (x3) It is an amazing piece for the money! | |
| Power cable for 5 watt SET amp? Thanks for the suggestions, I will have to pick up 1 or 2 to experiment with. Might try Jedinite24's Triode wire lab cord... | |
| buyer beware do not buy from this seller Agree with Viridian 100%. | |
| Supra Ply 3.4S Just an FYI: You can purchase Supra speaker cable at Madisound. Nice people, great service... | |
| Nakamichi MB-8 and RE-10 I have and RE-10 in my storage unit. It is a 2-channel 100 watt receiver. Not nearly as good as the STASIS receivers by Nak, but has a nice warm sound. I owned the MB-8 cdp years ago. Pretty nice cd changer with that same warm sound as the amp. Ca... | |
| ARCAM vs ROTEL Go with the Rotel. It is reliable and excellent sounding. Can't be beat for the money.. | |
| Tube amps and loads. Agree with Marakanetz. I have used both telefunken 7189 and russian NOS 7189 and there is no comparison. The Telefunken's made the Scott sing! | |
| Integrated Amps that run hot Music Hall Mambo if you can find one. |
