October 25, 200718 yr the Raptor sucked with RS-1s, too. Of course it does. raptor not useful for anything <= 150 ohms
October 25, 200718 yr Well with your headphones this is clearly true. And of course a B52 is a (raptor) + (raptor) which means it (sucks)*(sucks) or in terms of money $1300+$1300 << $5300 A simple modification will allow the raptor to sound much better, but only with high impedance headphones (==300 ohms) There, I feel better now. A day without trashing my good friend ray is like a day without sunshine. you forgot to add the Stealth in there, remember pre amp man..pre amp.
October 26, 200718 yr you forgot to add the Stealth in there, remember pre amp man..pre amp. No billy, you are wrong, wrong, just plain wrong. The stealth was even worse. On the stealth the front end gain tube was also used as an ultra high impedance preamp output. In other words it sucked bigtime. Could not even drive 3 feet of cable. So ray learned from his serious mistakes, and on the B52 added a simple cathode follower. A simple cathode follower does not a preamp make. Better yes, but still massively sucky. Anyone with brains should look at schematics of the audio research preamps, and the conrad johnson preamps to see it done right. Schematics of both available on the web. Hell ray still can't do an analog 12 volt fillament supply... Which is why he is using those $20 ultracrap ultranoisy switchers. Both on the Craptor and the B52. Can't wait to see what ray is going to use as the battery charger for the lithium battery in the predator. We should rename the predator, "the target of oportunity"
October 26, 200718 yr No billy, you are wrong, wrong, just plain wrong. KG don't three wrongs make a right
October 26, 200718 yr KG don't three wrongs make a right You may have a point there. aerius mode on... But you only need 2 wongs to make a wong junior...
October 26, 200718 yr No, but three rights make a left. Maybe that's what you're thinking of? just messing around with no meaningful fillers. You may have a point there. aerius mode on... But you only need 2 wongs to make a wong junior... everybody wong a dong
October 26, 200718 yr Trose is an asshat. He thinks his "special" hr2 which just adds a gain switch warrants such a price. He likes everything personalized and special, then when he sells them, he prices them the highest, believing everyone idolizes him and would pay extra for something he owned and something specially made for HIM. HR-2 Sold at full listing price! $900.00.
October 26, 200718 yr HR-2 Sold at full listing price! $900.00. Thus the "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute" theorem is proven.
October 26, 200718 yr Fuck that! thats crazy..I need to sell my stuff, wait no i dont want to. just kidding?
October 26, 200718 yr just kidding? noooo what cd is that in your sig with the the two girls? i think i seen that before but its not ringing..
October 26, 200718 yr HR-2 Sold at full listing price! $900.00. Go away, you are getting more evil every minute you hang around here.
October 26, 200718 yr mini^3/pint (If you can find the boards/find someone to make you one) smokes the hornet hard. Pico's amp and ae-2 should as well though I am not nearly as familiar with either.
October 26, 200718 yr HR-2 Sold at full listing price! $900.00. wow, you should try to sell real estate on the moon. install gain switches on moon rocks for mad cake.
October 26, 200718 yr It's not like it'd be the first time todd lied on here about what he sells his amps for.
October 26, 200718 yr No, but three rights make a left. Maybe that's what you're thinking of? lol, funny AND true. Hey KG, a little off topic, but while we are on pre-amps... given the current state of my amp, how well do you think it would it work as one? I've yet to try it [no balanced power amp], but it does have the XLR outs on the back.
October 26, 200718 yr Hey KG, a little off topic, but while we are on pre-amps... given the current state of my amp, how well do you think it would it work as one? I've yet to try it [no balanced power amp], but it does have the XLR outs on the back. Don't have the pictures handy to see where the xlr preamp outputs are actually wired to. 1) if they are wired to the cathodes of the first tube, then its a simple cathode follower, however NO GAIN. As the pot is the first thing in the circuit followed by the cathode follower. 3) The only other place would be the same as the headphone output jack. Definitely not a really great place for a preamp output...
October 26, 200718 yr Actually grawk I did not tell the whole story! Shame on me but since you all seem soooo interested in my purchases I will let you know the details of the sale. Hr-2 Alo V-dock Alo imod rca cable Red wine V-dock ps $2,150.00 This I swear is the truth or I'm not allowed to buy another RSA product! Chew on that for a while RSA ALO products are great and have tremendous re-sale value!
