| Am I having an affair with my SET monos, or are life-long relationships possible? Ok, I'll spill the beans...Classic Audio Loudspeakers' Hartsfield reproductions with John's own field coil drivers, fed by his personal Atma-Sphere MP-1 pre-amp and Atma-Sphere Novacron amps. I don't know what table and cart he has. The Hartsfiel... | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? Ralph, may I order your adapters directly from you? I couldn't see how to order on your site directly. I'd like to try the adapters first, then I'll consider sending you the pre for modifications.Thank you very much for your help. | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? Do the adapters you talk about on the site help alleviate that? | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? Agreed..."tape output" is full signal (no attenuation)...I misspoke there. Also good advice to contact Ralph...I know he's quite active here as well. | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? Charles, do you remember how you connected it? Did he have adapters or did his have SE outs? | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? I'm specifically asking about using them with SET amps that only have RCA/SE connections. | |
| Zu Soul Supreme Recap -- Owners, what are your preferred system pairings with them? I bought a pair of Thoress 845 SET monos...very, very nice. Waiting on some NOS replacement driver tubes before I declare full victory and move it to my #1 (to date), but they sound totally awesome with the mismatched ones that came with it alrea... | |
| Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP I was totally a triode-mode guy for the first 18 or so months of the 150s. I updated my cabling all around the system to Audience SX (from SE), and I put a really clean pre-amp in front. After that (I think it was the combo), I preferred ultra-l... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp I caved and put the KT150s back in after just under 3 days. It's all the loveliness of the EL34s, but at SCALE. Everything is just "more" of what the EL34s have. Soundstage is much much larger, bass is deeper and a little tighter. Sparkle a li... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp fsonicsmith, I agree that it would be very interesting to see the PL HP (or non-HP) against some of ARC's references and other brands', including the separates stacks obviously (in the reference lines).I don't have an easy way to get my hands on r... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp pokey77--agreed, that comment and the Saturday event results prompted me to put the EL34s I had neatly foam wrapped in the cabinet back into my PL HP last night for a couple more hours of listening, and I have them playing right now again as I ver... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp Thanks Kevin and enjoy your trip. I appreciate your throwing this together and also for changing up some of your approach at some of the suggestions. I think you really got a more interesting set of results than you might have otherwise (great c... | |
| Zu Soul Supreme Recap -- Owners, what are your preferred system pairings with them? Great stuff, thank you both.I'm coincidentally considering trying an 845 set amp. Quad II Classics are also a great suggestion...will read up more on those.I really want to love the First Watt stuff...someone has suggested I need to pair it with ... | |
| Zu Soul Supreme Recap -- Owners, what are your preferred system pairings with them? I'll start with my amp findings to date.From best match found so far (top) to good match (bottom):1) Primaluna Dialog Premium HP integrated with great preamp bypassing the PL pre-section, KT150s as output tubes--you can read my posts elsewhere on ... | |
| I've decided to try Tubes Amta-Sphere M60s are a very interesting call...heard the Atma-Sphere Novacrons last week and they sounded fantastic. I would like to hear the M60s to compare...the Novacron owner said if the Novacrons weren't there to compare, I would love the M6... |
