| Electro Harmonix 6922 pre-amp tubes Thanks Newbee, From your description, think I will stick with the sovteks in my BAT phonostage. | |
| Amp/ preamp for electostatics and why The Manley Snapper monoblocks have balanced inputs, sound wonderful, and match great with the BAT preamps. I use the VK-42se with mine and have a friend that uses the VK-51se with his. They are easy to bias, takes all of about 5 minutes. | |
| Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim? I'm a big fan of the Tannoys. have heard three different tannoy systems recently, and could live with them. But i would not sell my SHL5s to make the move to them. (as i am sure the Tannoy owners would rather keep what they have)The SHL5 are very ... | |
| Electro Harmonix 6922 pre-amp tubes Has anyone compared the EH to Sovtek 6922s? i will need to be replacing the 8 6922s in my phonostage at some point, and dont want to go the NOS route. | |
| what tubes to use in manley steelhead rc preamp My use of the 5687/7044 variety tubes has been the different than Rgurneys. I like the GE7044 better than any other 5687 type tube but the Bendix 6900. I have never had noise issue with them at all. I've used them in CDPs, headphone amps, and my M... | |

| Ayre v-5xe or parasound jc-1’s? The Vandersteens with the Ayre V-5xe are wonderful! I've heard the Quatros, Quatro wood, and 5as with this amp and they sound great. If I ever own Vandersteens Ayre woud be the gear I would match it with. I owned the JC1s for a few years and they ... | |

| VPI SDS question Thats how I have used my SDS for a little over three years. I really dont think the SDS has been off at all except for vacations over that time period. | |
| How good is the BAT VK40? I've owned the 31se and when I upgraded I auditioned the 52se and 42se at the same time. The 52se was a little more dynamic and detailed than the 42se. The 42se is slightly laid back. I ended up going with the 42se. I think it fit my system at the... | |
| BAT Solid State Amplifiers I've heard and owned several pieces of BAT gear, none of it has ever sound lean. | |
| Quality, Affordable, Preamps? Depending on your taste, I would look at either BAT or Audio research. | |
| BAT or Cary Pre with BAT VK-55? Stick with the BAT. IMO that Cary preamp will give less treble, and air than the BAT. | |
| McIntosh MC 275 Mk IV or V with Harbeth M-40.1? Hope it gets even better for you. Does the drop off in power seem to be an issue with the new amp? | |
| McIntosh MC 275 Mk IV or V with Harbeth M-40.1? So hows the amp working out so far? |
