Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |
|
I've been playing with the 6DJ8s* but haven't heard any differences yet.. (Do remember that I'm NOT a quick-hearing GEA, I'm a slow-hearing musiclover.)
After I recover from out-patient right-shoulder-joint-repair surgery late this month, I'll be replacing the loboy with a slightly narrow slab of 1.2" Marble.. Of course, the Passes and the CC speaker are going.. Haven't decided whether to isolate or couple the slab to the concrete floor; will be removing the carpet and pad from the center-front portion of the floor.. The three amps will be isolated from the pad.. Probably will stand my Magnaplanar center-channel speaker behind the CC amp.
Have become aware of a newish manufacturer/retailer of vibration-control footer for electronic equpment and also speakers, England's Stack Audio.. The brand name is AUVA, and my guess on pronunciation is 'uwvu'. They have different models for speakers and equipment, and three different weight versions for equipment.. Interestly, the weight-sensitive base is replaceable and interchangable among the three.. Ordered a tentet for the '600s and a trio for my Oppo '205 DP; I hope I can hear differences between using the IsoAcoustic Oreas and the AUVA EQs.

* Actually, they specify 6922s, perhaps becaue they're likely to be less microfonic? AND they allow even 7DJ8s and all their variants in those positions.
