| Simple High Quality Tube Preamp for Vinyl Only Sys Since you specified vinyl only, I believe you would do best with a line pre; and select one of the excellent Phono pre's that are available here. That would give you an incredible amount of flexibility. | |
| Primaluna Prologue Two Leersfool, the poweramp's job is to duplicate the signal it's fed from the pre. If you improve the performance of the pre, the amp is supposed to duplicate it. Since power amps are closely related to the speaker, I believe speaker amp synergism ac... | |
| Primaluna Prologue Two The 12AX7's that come with the PrimaLuna are very good; however, I would replace the 12AU7's with NOS RCA black top or clear top. I recommend Brent Jesse if you don't already have a "tube monger". In my opinion, NOS tube should be bought from "tub... | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp "This is the way I did it" All my parts came from Radio Shack. You can use expensive "audiophile" parts if you desire. First I constructed a small wooden box to house the parts. After I sanded, stained, and shellacked the box; it was quite attract... | |
| Hey Electricians - Please help The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. What you stated applies to almost every one. | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp Go to radio shack and buy a double pole double throw switch. Connect each pre to one side of the switch and the amp to the center. By flipping the switch you will alternate between pre A or pre B feeding amp C. | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? Every lousy CD in my collection was recommended by Stereophile and the music forum sucks. I believe this confirms your thesis. 90% of "Goners" use music to hear the gear, while music lovers use gear to hear the music. | |
| Good tube amp kit for sale these days The ST-70 is not for beginners. | |
| Why amps, pre-amps, integrated amps??? There is no better way to buy, than buying good designs that have withstood the tests of time, and that is the reason the price is going up on the best used equipment. | |
| Is there one item you have been wishing for? Using vinyl as an example, the cartridge copies something from the disc, sends it to the phono pre; which makes a "copy", and sends that to the pre; which makes a "copy" and sends that to the amp; which makes a "copy" and sends that to the crossov... | |
| Why amps, pre-amps, integrated amps??? If you're into "kits", you can also get deep into the "high end" by substituting parts. For example you could substitute better capacitors, of the same value of course; and other parts as well. This would give you a true "high end" amp. | |
| Why amps, pre-amps, integrated amps??? I like vintage tuners. In regard to the 180wpc power amp as compared to the very same amp as monoblocks, from a price performance point of view the 180wpc would be the winner; but there's nothing like the 3D soundstage of monoblocks, this is a res... | |
| Upgrade Sota Comet or buy a used table? The Sota Comet was considered an insult to the Sota name by audiophile's who knew more than me. | |
| Looking for a softer tube NOS RCA 12au 7 Black top or clear top will work, and they are not as expensive as Mullards. I also believe their softer. In no way am I knocking Mullards, just differentiating. | |
| Bandwidth question? While you don't have to be a "rocket scientist" to know what you hear, you do have to be a scientist in order to explain what you hear."Harmonics" are what separates the "high end" from "midfi". For example, if the fundamental frequency is 25 HZ, ... |
