- #104 [cpsjj], 06-06-27 13:18Leak Trough Line 3 with Fisher MPX100.
Marvellous tuner combination. - #105 [Pilotrol], 06-06-27 15:31Dear cpsjj
Great tuner combination...!
Personally, I would prefer mono rather than stereo (using MPX) for tuner. Did you try Fisher or Pilot tuner yet...!
Best regards

Agree. I just took the opportunity to test the MPX as well. Mono sounds more relaxed and full body.
I do not have any Pilot tuner. Gingers may be able to share.
For Fisher, the tuner section of the 500C is very acceptable. I did try to find a FM1000 but in vail. - #107 [Pilotrol], 06-06-27 16:25Buddy! Suggest you can try Fisher 50-R or FM90X...! They sound great in mono...!
For Pilot tuner - AF-821, AF-824, AF-723 and FM-607 are also great tuner and tuner preamp in mono...! - #108 [Taimonsing], 06-06-28 13:55Hi Pilotrol master,
I would like to ask which Pilot preamp is recommend to try?
Thanks - #109 [Pilotrol], 06-06-28 14:17Dear Taimsonsing
The best enter level Pilot preamp is Pilot SP-210, but this preamp required power supply from SA-260 and SA-232.
For more advanve level, you can go for either Pilot SP-215, SP-216 or SP-216A.
One thing I must be clear before you test above preamp. Pilot preamp sound very sweet, mellow and smooth, but the disadvantage is slightly slow and lack of extension of high. If you looking for clear, transparent details of high, than Pilot preamp will not be your cup of tea. If you like romance, mellow, sweet, warm and smooth tone, but also like slow song, than Pilot preamp will not disappoint your ears. - #110 [Taimonsing], 06-06-28 14:48I got it, however, do you think they (215,216,216a) will be match with WE KS16608 or not?
- #111 [Pilotrol], 06-06-28 14:59The WE KS-16608 has very sweet and mellow tone with good mid, but slightly lack of body of mid-low. Sure WE KS-16608 can match with Pilot SP-215, SP-216, SP-216A without any problem. As I mention before, the Pilot sound slightly slower but sligthly lack of extension of high. It can produce very romance and relax tone, specially good at reproduce slow male song and sadness song...! However, it does not sound too good for pop and rock music or some jazz required clear treble and quick response of bass. It you like fast and tight sound than Pilot may not your cup of tea...!
I would suggest you should arrange a listening test to ensure that is your cup of tea before you buy! - #112 [Taimonsing], 06-06-28 16:03Master Pilotrol,
yes, but I have no way to find a Pilot amp to testing.
I have a Eico HF85 and Dynaco PAS2 when use with KS16608, as you mention that, soft and smooth. However, I find it's not "thick enough".
So that I am looking for try Pilot or Fisher preamp.
Any comment on Fisher preamp too? - #113 [Pilotrol], 06-06-28 16:30Dear Taimonsing
If you are looking for thick body than the Pilot SP-216, SP-216A SP-210, Fisher 80-C, Fisher 90-C, McIntosh C-22 and Stromberg Carlson AE-426.
Pilot SP-216 and SP-210 has thick body very sweet and mellow tone but the problem is slightly lack of quick response in bass and slightly lack of treble.
Fisher 80-C and 90-C has very outstanding mid-range with good body thickness as well. The tone is realistic and forward. The problem is slightly lack of harmonic extension, but not as soft and smooth as SP-216 and SP-210. Sorry to say that they are not too user friendly…!
McIntosh C-22 has outstanding thickness of bass with rich body, slightly tight and heavy bass, but not as soft, sweet and mellow as Pilot SP-210, SP-216A or SP-216. The realistic of mid-range also cannot compete with Fisher 80-C or 90-C…!
Stromberg Carlson AE-426 has very similar song characteristic as McIntosh C-22, but it has much open up treble, forward but natural tone, but not as soft, sweet, mellow and smooth as Pilot SP-216 and SP-210…!
Hope you understand that there is always a trade off in world of hi-fi…! Have Fun! - #114 [Pilotrol], 06-06-28 16:36I highly recommand you can try Pilot SP-210, but the only problem of this preamp is required power supply (you can DIY one). If you don't mind tuner preamp, you can try Pilot FA-690 or FA-690A...! They have very warm, smooth and mellow tone at not too high cost but you can also have some fun on FM tuner...!
- #115 [Taimonsing], 06-06-28 16:48How's Pilot compare with Eico HF85?
- #116 [Pilotrol], 06-06-28 16:54Dear Taimonsing
Eico HF-85 is sound very musical, warm and smooth, but not too details or slightly lack of extension of high and transparent. The Pilot SP-210 and SP-216 sound smoother, sweeter, warmer and slightly thicker than HF-85, both of them has very mellow mid-range, but slightly of extension and detail of high as Eico HF-85...! - #117 [Taimonsing], 06-06-28 17:03Then as you mean, they are belong to same type?
So should I try so much in one kind of preamp, or better to try another type like Fisher? - #118 [Pilotrol], 06-06-28 17:07You must have a clear idea for what kind of sound characteristic you exactly looking for before you buy! I strongly suggest you to arrange A/B test before you make your final decision...! Since only you own ears can tell what is good or bad for you...!
Hence: Pilot is much more concentrated in mid and mid-low range, sweetness, smoothess and mellow tone is always Pilot's selling point, but not details...! - #119 [Taimonsing], 06-06-28 17:13Fully understand, thanks a lots!!!
Nice to meet you!! - #120 [Taimonsing], 06-06-28 17:21However, do you have the floor plan to build the power supply for SP210?
Thanks Anyway!! - 下一頁 (6 of 827)
