Class-D amps - a different re view
That is what I want to hear, and that is what I have. Muralman1 (System | Threads | Answers)In the end, that's all that matters. 
Class-D amps - a different re view
11-16-07: GuidocoronaHi Vince, that's exactly my point. The sound of rosin for example is extremely faint and can be heard clearly only if you 'are' a microphone, or you are sitting/standing so close to the performer to be socially unacceptable un... 
Moving away from tubes. Is this a good idea?
11-16-07: Musicslugnobody's mentioned the rogue cronus tube integrated; great sounding, good price - a perfect way to get into tubes.It's a well regarded integrated, but it's not autobias, so perhaps not the best choice for a first time tube amp o... 
Review: LessLoss LessLoss AC cord Power cord
I now use the Lessloss power cords on all my components except one. I agree about the lower noise floor. That was the characteristic I noticed immediately. 
Moving away from tubes. Is this a good idea?
I always wanted to try a tubed amp. Now that I am in the market for an amp I thought this would be the time.Pick one and jump in. Learning through listening is a necessary step.Whatever I get it will probably be the last amp I buy for quite some t... 
Moving away from tubes. Is this a good idea?
Good ideas above. The mention of Cayin not autobiasing is a very good catch.My hunch is that if Djh does not try a tube amp, he will always wonder "what if?".Therefore, I suggest buying a used PrimaLuna Prologue 2 when one becomes available. Give ... 
yet another KAB mod question
11-16-07: VinyladdictIf you look - you'll find that the VTA reading on the collar at the arm lift lever is exactly 2.5mm (I think... I'm not at home to check the exact amount) higher than the actual VTA setting. I use a similar system in which I s...

11-15-07: TvadThe Von Schweikert demo worked in the following manner...A live acoustic group preformed...Actually, they performed.But if they preformed, it'd have been a really cool trick! 
Moving away from tubes. Is this a good idea?
I think you should buy a used PrimaLuna Prologue 2 or Cayin A-70t integrated amp and get your feet wet with tubes. If the tubed integrated amp doesn't do it for you, then resell at little or no loss and buy solid state.I believe you can do better ...

The Von Schweikert demo is no more convincing. We weren't at the recording. The smart thing was to use a master tape.Muralman1 (System | Threads | Answers)The Von Schweikert demo worked in the following manner...A live acoustic group preformed in ...

11-15-07: Muralman1Knowing what a family of acoustic instruments sound like in real life should be one's gauge, not the recording. I agree. I suspect Atmasphere agrees. However, one cannot compare the sound of a violin heard live in Disney Hall wi... 
Class-D amps - a different re view
Muralman1, if you had recorded your daughter's performance on a good multitrack reel to reel, and then played it back, you would have an excellent idea of your system's playback accuracy. I recall Von Schweikert did this exact experiment few years... 
Tubes with different gain for Moscode 401HR
11-15-07: Springbok10What I mean is that you cant use a 6 series with a 12 series in line - so if a 12AU7 is on the (LF) outside, another 12 series tube must be used on the HF (outside), (according to George) defeating the purpose of using the hig... 
Tubes with different gain for Moscode 401HR
11-15-07: Springbok10The solution may well be a Differential pre-amp, such as the Supratek Cabernet Dual, with different outputs and tubes to LF and HF. Yet more $$.........Problem with the 12AU7 on the outside means you cant use the higher gain 6... 
Class-D amps - a different re view
People steeped in the land of valves are so righteous...From my observation, that's not limited to proponents of valve amplification.If one would take a step away from the politics, I believe one could appreciate Atmasphere's point.None of us can ...
