| Zensati Cables I am a bit late to this thread having only recently added Zensati to my system. Back to the OP's comments that he heard amazing sound from an unremarkable system I concur with this 100%.Placing just one Zensati no3 power cable into several friend'... | |
| Speaker cable for Wilson sophia and Pass labs X250 I have had the Zensati no3 speaker cables in my system having experienced cables such as JPS Labs Aluminata, Jorma Origo, Jorma Prime. I found the Zensati the most neutral and natural sounding of all of these. Another bonus is it is the cheapest o... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Thanks for your updates Thuan98.I had my Goldpoint attanuators installed a few weeks ago and all I can say the upgrade is 100% recommended. The Bobs sounded fantastic with great tubes such as GL KT88's and Telefunken 12AX7 but the vol attenuators ... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Hi Yoby,I only received the Goldpoint attenuators yesterday so will be taking my Bob Carvers in to my tech's workshop next week.I have not decided if I am going to get the caps upgraded at this stage.Will have a chat to my tech and see what he thi... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Hi Dracule,I think there was someone else who mentioned the GL's earlier in this thread.But I do have quite a few friends with other tubes amps that swear by them. My HIFI dealer/friend uses top level Lamm mono blocks and has heard my Bobs with th... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Thanks for the feedback Thuan98.I will most likely go for the GP attenuator upgrade as well. I mentioned in an earlier post that I had upgraded my stock Electron KT88s to Sovtek equivalents with great results. I have now upgraded the Sovteks to Go... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Thanks again Drac on your thoughts. Yes, I think the Bobs deserve very good tubes plus cables. I have tried a few different IC's from my source to the Bobs with great results. I have a pair of Wywires Gold and also Jorma Unity RCAs. Having difficu... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly I was a bit hesitant on spending $450 on a single EAT KT88 so went the other way around on a $30 Sovtek! Haha!Gamble paid off as these slaughter the stock tubes in my system! | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Thanks for the update mate. I'll certainly think about the upgrade in the near future. I ended up getting my pairs of matched sextant Sovtek kt88 tubes and the improvements in sound are vast to say the least! The music is more refined but most not... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Hi Dracule. Despite your wholehearted recommendations of upgrading the vol control and output caps I have decided to leave the amps as is mainly for warranty issues. I am still waiting for my upgraded KT88s and a few more input tubes to arrive. Fu... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Hi Dracule1. Will give my opinions on the input tubes I have shortly! Just wondering which Gold Point Stepped Attenuators go with the Bobs. There's quite a few choices. Thanks again! | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Thanks Dracule1.I am more than happy to physically switch cables too. In fact I don't have any room on my racks to accommodate a preamp anyway!Currently I have some upgraded KT88's on the way and have been listening to a variety of 12AX7's and 12A... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly You are wealth of knowledge Dracule1. Thanks heaps for the advice.I am looking into the Gold Point stepped attenuators now. I noticed the same guys also make passive preamps using their attenuators. Any thoughts on using a passive preamp with the ... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly My MMGs were previously powered by an ME 550 solid state power amp. Using a Dynavector L300 preamp the sound with the Maggies was simply superb to my ears. Quite effortless with plenty of punch. With the Bobs connected the soundstage is more open ... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Thanks guys. I missed that earlier post Thuan. Will certainly get some Gold Lions when funds permit. I have hooked up the Bobs to my Maggie MMGs with great results. I need to turn the volume up to around half way to get decent spl but the Bobs don... |
