Single box tube linestage preamp - $3,000 used Bat VK-32SE | |
Marantz SC-7S2 solid state preamp- how good is it? thanks guys- good comments- the (few) reviews I have read seem to always pair it in the context of a 'full Marantz' system (with the MA-9S2 monoblocks)- was wondering how it was with other amps as well... | |
Throwing your gear under the bus yes- but in my case, a nice watch (Omega Seamaster Chrono in white)- luckily the guy still had it- I bought it back immediately- what was I thinking??!! :-) | |
Power conditioner for EMM CDSA ? I use the excellent Ensemble Isolink on mine... | |
SS Amp to replace VAC 300.1 in a side-ways move? agree with Tvad- having owned Aerial speakers many years ago, solid state worked best... | |
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Steve- is the directional flow the same as the others with the Reflection? | |

Digital IC- I use Stealth Sextet- anything better? Thanks Powder- I have a Marigo 5.7 as well- was not aware of the newer model. | |
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? yes, the Reflection are amazing- a further refinement of the Rapture 'r'- inner detail incredible, lack of congestion excellent- no glare- simply music... | |
Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ? would be good to 'resurrect' this thread 8 years later- I think SACD has come a long way- I find the EMM Labs CDSA-SE not to exhibit these high-frequency aberations, at least not that I am noticing anyways... | |
The Big Ayon Triton KT-88 Int Amp- tube rolling? thanks guys- I do keep in touch with Paul at USA Tube Audio (Ayon Distributors) about this from time to time, and I do know that they are always 'on the hunt' for the best tube combo for the Ayon amps- they still recommend what was shipped with my... | |
Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse lately I have been using two different amps for driving Coincident Total Victory II's, both with outstanding results- 1) The big Ayon Triton integrated (*80 watt triode mode); 2) custom built 211 SET.As I have stated previously, with the larger Co... | |
XLO vs. wireworld It's a shame TCC won't extend the lending library option across the border here in Canada- asked them years ago, and they said no... | |
Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse unless you have $$ for higher-power good SET, push-pull triode next best topology in my expeience (own/have owned many Coincident speakers) | |
Ayon Triton- Anyone compared to high end seperates what suprised me most about my Triton was how wide bandwidth this amp is, and also how low of a noise floor for a tube amplifier- I believe the big Austrian (Lundahl I believe) extremely high quality transformers used in the Triton to be a big rea... |
