| Preamp Deal of the Century @noske I don’t get the sense that you took a look first before posting, | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century @rbertalotto What you are missing, and what’s going on here, has mostly to do with your ability to read. Best preamp on earth — Where’d you get that? - Hissing, noisy remote control — Where’d you get that? Doesn’t know how to use XLR connectors —... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Yes, I've found Mick can forget what's asked of him. He has a tech in the U.S., who I had a private exchange with which some months back but can't find now. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century It might depend on which Isoacoustics you’re using, but I found something more, such as AV Roomservice EVP’s, does a better job of iso under my Chardonnay now Cab (MD for the main, HD for the ps). But then mine are stationed on the bottom shelf, w... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century No, other than phoning. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century You mean an email bounced? I haven't heard from him since later April, but as others reported here, their orders just shipped. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century This site has extremely sensitive oversight. If you want more info about my last post, you can find me via head-fi. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Anyone looking for a better umbilical for their Supratek for a really good price? For the second week in a row, Revelation Audio is running an auction here on Agon for a 0.5m cord. The title is "Upgrade for Cary, Supratek - Revelation Audio Labs u... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I’m not sure your presumption is correct. This subject came up because of SR’s Carbon Tuning Disks, which are meant to be placed on power cords and IC’s to deal with the external fields that the video discusses. Here are are a couple of links, but... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century @richmon A bit off topic but I wonder if your foam tubes might not unintended effects on the sound. Off hand, two theoretical hypotheses come to mind (although I’m not an expert): 1) the foam acts as an additional insulator that counteracts the de... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century The Cabernet manual states: "A gain adjustment knob is provided in case preamp is used with high gain power amps, if noise is an issue adjust gain until noise disappears." The same applies to the Chardonnay. Adjusting cables is a separate matter... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I turned off the high gain switch on my just-received Cabernet for the reasons you mention. Mick’s design does draw a fair amount of current in start up, although the manual says the noise is ok, i.e., won’t damage the speakers. I blew a pair of 3... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century My 6SN7 Cabernet arrived Monday. Starting to open up nearing 40 hours in. Like the man said, no hurry. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Modicum of sense, I'd say. You might want to read Mick's Guide to buying a preamp discussion to get a sense of what he's up to. If you look around for reviews of his gear, not a whole lot, you might come across some criticism of his "spaghetti" st... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Let us know how it works out. I didn’t want a dual, primarily to keep things simple. As I read the discussion on his site, Mick thinks a 6SN7 preamp provides the best sound, so whether it’s with Cab or Grange circuitry, I think we’ll do well. Be i... |
