AricAudio's new Jackpot 5751 tube-rectified truly balanced preamplifier
@brewerslaw My preamplifiers can safely handle a 5 volt RMS Input from the source without coming anywhere near clipping. The balanced ML XL can handle 12 volts RMS without exceeding 1% distortion at the inputs. Please feel free to reach out to me ... 
Aric Audio Transcend Push Pull?
@vthokie83 You've very welcome, and definitely feel free to reach out at anytime!  @ozzy62 It's good to hear from you as well, it's been a minute since we rapped motorcycles.  Cheers, Aric

@vthokie83 I'm glad you're still digging the amp! Yours was actually reviewed by Bob Grossman of Enjoy The Music. Terry London reviewed the original version of the amp back in 2017. Your amp is current however and does have the Tier 2 upgrades as ...

@robshaw Yes, you can absolutely use both single ended and XLR outs at the same time on any of my balanced preamps. Best regards, Aric

That is correct that the unit is not fully balanced throughout the entire signal path but rather that it has balanced inputs and balanced outputs, while the tube circuitry remains single-ended. The differential input’s full signal swing is utilize...

@mclinnguy I already have several preamps that can use the 6SN7 or 6SL7 and they have their own sound to them. The Noval tubes sound a bit faster, whereas the SN and SL sound more full bodied, so this gives the unit a different flavor in presentat...

Good catch, and sorry about that! I’ll have my web guy add that to the page. The remote for the motorized unit has volume up and down, a display brightness but does not have a mute feature. However the motor action is incredibly fast and it can go...

All 4 line stages use the Khozmo motorized silver contact with industrial motor potentiometer with the digital display. All internals are shown clearly on each product page on my website and have been for many years. Again, I can’t comment on what...

@audioman58  I don’t know who "their" is that you’re referring to, but all of MY preamps use Khozmo volume controls, perhaps you’re seeing ALPS on some of my older products- I don’t know, but the fact is you’re spreading misinformation on this thr...

@audioman58 If by Eric preamps, you mean Aric preamps then please show me which several models use an ALPS. If you looked at this product, you would clearly see the Khozmo motorized controller. Also if you ask Arek from Khozmo which is sonically s... 
Garrard 301 - Project
Lalit, We had conducted business about 6 years ago and had been in touch via email many times since then. We have not conversed in over two years. To my knowledge there was not any unattended business or things left in the air. Your statement seem... 
A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair.
Hello all,  Regarding my Spectre 12s, I was concerned more with the function than the form and wanted to focus more on having the cabinets well-built and braced, maintaining high sensitivity and a smooth passband for the drivers, and then using v...

@grislybutter Thank you kind sir!  
A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair.
@soix I appreciate the kind words regarding my electronics! I have a new cabinetmaker for my Spectre 12s, and the photo shown is of the older cabs (with exposed plywood edges- which I agree is not attractive). I'm not sure if this makes a differen...
