| LSA Statement Tube Rolling Most NOS folks use the Amperex or Siemens.Price increases as you approach the CCas. | |
| Which tube monos? So many choices.Very intimidated You will probably need 50-70W/ch.The VAC Ren Series mated very well with the WP.I would think that the Lamm ml2/2.1 may end up being a little soft.Being in the SS camp,I would think that a push-pull tube output stage would be less of a transition.... | |
| need CDP upgrade advice I prefer to stay in the solid=state canp for CD players.With that kind of money,you might look at Gamut CD3s,Ayre or several others.Even looking at trans/dac combos might not be out of hand. | |
| Primaluna and Rogue It may be as Newbee said,as to synergy.The soundstage was rather "flat". | |
| Primaluna and Rogue With tube amps:Innersound iTube (160W/kt88 or 6550) and Lamm ML 2.1s. | |
| Time to change speakers again If you get the chance,take a listen to the Yankee Audio FPR-72 MKIII. | |
| Primaluna and Rogue I might not include the PL3/pre,I don't believe it has the "magic" that the amps/integrateds enjoy. | |
| Lost that "Tube Magic". Can you help? The amp that comes to mind is the CJ MV-100.Agree with the SE tube comments.The Onix SP-3 with careful tube selection,possibly the Almarro 318.The PL1 from Primaluna with a little tube-rolling. | |
| Integrated tube amp for 91db open baffle speakers The PrimaLuna PL2 has performed above its' weight-class.My Gallos are 90db/9 ohm and sound wonderful.This unit has also run my 90db/6 ohm OB DIYs with great success. | |
| ASR w/MBL 101E or Sound Lab A1-PX The MBLs love power,thus their designed amps (high watts).This issue has been discussed in many reviews and holds true from my experience setting them up at a dealers' showroom. | |
| Choice material suggestion for pivoting arm board You may wish to converse with the following:Steve Dobbins/Xact AudioAlbert Porter/Porterhouse AudioOswald Mills I'm sure that I've missed someone...Each is using different materials for arm boards on "custom" tables.I might also discuss this with ... | |
| How do you drive 12 Ohm speakers? A well designed tube amp/integrated should be happier than a "pig in slop". | |
| Jadis JA-30's What Pre would you consider First Sound Presence Deluxe,Supratek,Wyetech Jade-just to add a few to the mix. | |
| Primaluna and Rogue Found a great combo of 12ax/au7s.The Mazda 12au7 french military labeled "Cifte" (Quest for Sound) and the Shuguang triple-mica G8/9 12ax7s (probably available thru E-Bay).If you can't find the Shu s,give me a shout.I believe that I might have acc... | |
| new amp choices If considering a tube amp/integrated,why not listen to the Coincident speakers? High efficiency and impedance-great match for a tube.My choice would be the tube integrated-many to choose from. |
