| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! Conclusion:Caving in. After trying several combos (over many years in different systems) I’ve concluded I cannot run two pairs of the exact same brand/type/model interconnects (in my system) from source to preamp to amps and enjoy the music. Inter... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! jtcf, got your msg and i'll post it here after 3+ weeks of burn in. AP Solos Interconnects: The AP Crystal Solo IC cables settled ever so slightly, and while they are a little smoother now, they still can be like focusing a closeup high defini... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! @jtcf seems so. Thx. After these burn in a little more, I'll let them run for a bit (set them a aside a bit) and still have a pair of TJ Full Music 6SN7s coming a buddy talked me in to trying. He's using them with his new AP cables and his new ... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! The AP Crystal Solo interconnect cables are a very nice pairing particularly when the synergy on the front end source is good. This is my conclusion. The AP Solos help it to sound greater when the right component match is achieved in order to take... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! The AP Crystal Solos continue to reveal whatever is thrown at them. This week I changed out vintage Sylvania 6SN7GT preamp tubes for new-production Tung-Sol tubes. A lot more burn-in required I gather. Nice and full sounding right off the bat. Cle... | |
| Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000 A member and colleague here was supposed to list his DH Inspire 6L6 Triode tube amp and the matching LP27 tube preamp as a set/pair, and he also has a Decware Tori he mentioned planning to list on Agon. Have not seen it yet, will keep an eye out. | |
| Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000 @luisma31 09-20-2019 8:08pm...Recently a friend asked me which tube amp he could get used for $1000, I replied that maybe for $2000 he could get something decent but honestly I have no idea what to answer...Luis,How's the recommendation coming alo... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! jtcf10-13-2019 1:07pm@decooney I swapped out the 5977 mini tubes in the DAC for a pair of GL 6922 and your friend was spot on.A big thanks to both of you.It made quite a difference with the higher gain tubes.The system practically breathed a sigh ... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! @rodman99999 I've not mixed N7s lately with this setup, and plan to again soon, and exactly..will do. I parted with my last good sets with my prior amps I sold, and recently purchased a few others recently. Will retry in a few weeks. But, came a... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! A buddy picked up a set of the AP Crystal Solo interconnects too. He's now in his 3rd week of use, letting them play and settle in. He too reported they are notably more open and detailed than his prior copper ICs he used from Belden and others. M... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! @jtcf I know, huh?!,..change one variable and I create two more. Perhaps "Its the journey, not the destination" I guess ;) | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! rodman999994,051 posts10-08-2019 9:34amSylvania...two hole, bottom-getteredI have a quad of the 2-hole bottom gettered now and they do sound nice and airy for sure. Used them for years on three different amps. Keepers for sure. But, with AP cables... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! To @rodman99999 rodman999994,044 posts10-08-2019 7:30am@decooney- Off topic, but: what tube family, does your pre use?Preamp:6SN7 tubes on preamp. Two signal/input tubes and two driver tubes. A quad of N7s. Cary SLP-98 with F1 type of mods, caps, ... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! Update#4: After my updates to a friend who is a very practical and reasonably skeptical audio colleague broke down and bought a pair of AP Crystal Solo 1m interconnects for his triode amp system with horn speakers. He too experienced the overly o... |
