| No more big power supplies for preamps We certainly beleive in the quality of a power supply whether its an amp, preamp or anything else. This is not to say that you have to have a huge, separate power supply for good results. Size does not matter if the design is not up to par. Doesn'... | |
| Preamp Noise with High-Efficiency Speakers There may not be much difference in the circuitry between the SE and SEI but with the SE being mono blocs and the SEI being an integrated, my guess would be the SE monos would sound better as they don't share a power supply or chassis. The other a... | |
| Need help with a Tube PREAMP. MattI think you will be very happy with the ModWright 9.0. Especially with the tube power supply and OIMP caps. The ModWright gear always sounds good and with the upgrades you have in your unit, you will have a bit more of that tube sound. Enjoy. | |
| Has anyone tried an amp from Class D Audio? Hey SpencerI think you will find the 470's quite pleasing. I have a few of the smaller powered version of these same amps and have been running them for a couple years as they are the platform of our Hybrid power amps. Just spoke to Tom today abou... | |
| Preamps w/ polypropylene caps in power supply? Poly power supplies have many advantages with the biggest disadvantages being size and cost. However, when modifying a product's power supply over to all or even partial poly from lyrics is not as simple as replacing caps. Whenever you switch caps... | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva Hey Mitch, Just wanted to throw in an off-topic comment. That is one heck of a room you have. Very nice system. | |
| Has anyone tried an amp from Class D Audio? I have built and auditioned many of the Class D Audio amplifiers. They are a very neutral amp. If you want a bit of warmth in the mix, a nice tube buffer makes a work of difference. A buffer also helps putting a Class D amp in the system in regard... | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva Bottom line is that nothing said will change anything. I think it will be very sucessful especially now that the prices are lower. New customers will hop on board now. Audiogon members make up only a sliver of Emotiva's customer base and many audi... | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva The way I see it is there is nothing complaining will accomplish so its simply a matter of cutting our loss and move on. Its business. Plain and simple. | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva Disclaimer: I have to state first that we are (were) a Carver dealer.I agree. They initially said that nothing would change for their dealers. Now that they have the company, they can do anything they want. Bait and switch. I received an email fro... | |
| Do amps have a sweet spot? Every component has a sweet spot so to speak. This is where "synergy" comes into play. It's more than just the ideal operating point of a single component rather when all the components in a given system work together at their optimal levels to pr... | |
| Pre-amps with seperate power supplies ..... I have not read all the responses but will agree that just because a product has a separate power supply does not make it better. It all comes down to the design. You can put a crappy design in a separate enclosure just as easily as a superior des... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame VMPS speakers were certainly unique. It was a sad day when we lost Brian Cheyney. | |
| Jolida components: Seems to be many for sale ? The Jolida products provide an exceptional value. They are inexpensive and often many peoples first venture into tubes or the audio hobby in general. After they get the tatse of tubes, they will either move up the line or move up to more expensive... | |
| I heard Emotive bought Bob Carvers tube company "....There are junk made all over the world and not exclusively in China....."Exactly. Every county has it's good and bad. A little research and you can weed out the junk no matter where it's designed/made.I would be cautious of purchasing any unk... |
