I think Graham refers to the preamp, which is lighter (about 13Kg) and is called Musical Angel, Music Angle or Music Prince. If I'm right, this is the one ...
Hi Roberto yes that is the one I mean, and yes the other one looks fantastic and certainly reads fabulously, but it is way more expensive,I guess it depends on...
Also Ming Da 7R is based on Marantz 7 and uses wiring instead of PCB. It looks better and is reasonably more expensive than Music Angel. I can only evalute...
Sorry for flooding your mailbox. Uhm, the impedance on Ming DA MC-7R is 100Kohm while 909 is 20Kohm. Am I running into troubles because of this? Thanks again ...
Hello Roberto! According to physical laws it is better if the input and output impedances match or that the input impedance is higher. In this case it is five...
The MingDa writing 100K output imp is a TYPO. It has to be either 1K or below. Their 2A3 preamp is 600 ohms output Imp. Cheers! ag ... impedances ... times...
In several Web sites, Ming Da and other products claim 100Kohm output impedance. I agree, these are probably random numbers... Anyway, I bought the MC-7r (the...
Hi Roberto, Can you pls let me know more and discrib how your 99pre's sound to your ear? I saw some ppl or reviews said it is lacking "air", transperency and...
Hello WeyKee: Short answer: I do not think so. If properly set, the 99pre is transparent (but I never compared the 99pre to other pre-amps so far). I decided...
Roberto, What type of power cords, speaker cables and custom interconnects are you using? I employ the same Quad 99/909 stack, although using Quad 21L ...
Sorry for the late reply. I think any good and reasonable brand for power cords and speaker cables is fine (it depends on your budget and your acoustical...
I'd like to see a lot of people who have labored with audio related web sites benefit from this. Folks, If you have a web site or blog, etc., you owe it to...
First thing first..I'm John (42) from the Lancashire. My greatest passion in life is trawling carboot sales and charity shops seeking out those elusive rare...
Welcome John - I think you will have us all scurrying off to our local cattle market after that ! Bargain basement prices indeed. I'll leave it to others more...
Hi there John!! You are a lucky man indeed!! Gosh, I envy you.... ESL57 as electric heaters - I'm having a wicked laugh... Lucky man aren't you!! Good luck and...
interesting, i am in china from time to time as i have family there. I am curious as to what high end chinese audio gear there is available for poor folks like...
Sorry Arup, nothing personal but I think most of us know that website (it's often the first in the Google ads) and the brands there. I would have expected some...
Roberto, 1st of all - pardon me but I'm not in this trade. I've used Original CD-2008F, Shanling CD-300 & SCD-300, Shengya CD-6, and they are all beautifully...
Hi Guys. I have cleared out a couple of boxes in the attic and discovered four pairs of unused Golden Dragon KT66-R (Retro) valves. I thought I'd offer them...
hi chris. ... yes, i´m very interested ! need 2 pairs. give me a short reply if this is right for you. please give me the shipping costs to austria and your...
Hello Chris, I am still wondering how close they are build to the original GEC models. Are you able to make (good) close up pictures and share them? Currently...
These are the worst KT66s I've had, some can sound great but they have high failure rate, poor QC even though they look great. If the QC has improved recently...
Will do a bit later this evening, if children, a squash match and cooking dinner allows. Chris [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
That's no problem. Is £15 shipping (about $30US) OK? I don't know the actual cost at the moment, but I guess it should be lighter than that. If so, I'll ...
Thanks for your feedback. These are from about 1999, and were part of a production run which I was involved with. They were intended to be made to the same...
