Kana813, Do you have a signature Romulas with volume control running direct to a amp? |
This is crazy!, I was just thinking about this player yesterday, even went to the site, came on to audiogon, a supprise indeed that the Romulas thread was alive and well, I just ordered a vincent cd-s7 player that uses the 12aux7 and 12au7 tubes that can run direct to amp, I owned this player before, this vincent bettered the sound of a $6,350.00 player I had, I am going to use the vincent for temporary use to get my rig going,and untill I can afford the Romulas player, The Romulas is tops on my list, I suspect that Aesthetix may come out with a better player over the next year or two?, I want a Romulas with the analog volume control that does 4 volts out for balanced cables to run direct to my amp, cheers |
Hi, well it seems Jack has come out with a very Brand new model signature Romulas player!, go ahead, read about this player, True DSD digital, No rubber feet, New after market Isolation footers that substantialy lower the noise floor, etc.. Basically, A whole new player, Thou I just Bought a new cd player, The player is ultimatly going to be used on a second system that I will be Building around the Tara Labs model- The one interconnects and speaker cables, I believe this new Romulas signature will go on my main system, you guys excuse my ignorance here, question, does true DSD allow for super audio play back?, or does it only mean a much better digital signal that is not PCM? |
I also forgot to add that the older Romulas and Pandora units are available at the factory for the signature up-grade!, that is cool, also, The new Romulas signature just won the absolute sound editors choice product of the year for 2014, mmmm, must be very good, cheers. |
sorry jwm, I did see the correct name on the site, I must have got Jim confussed with jack, @ grannyring, I enjoyed your post, I to, just want to listen to the music instead of the sound of a componet, your post was very helpfull, Thankyou. |
Grannyring, Hi, Does the signature Romulas auto up-sample red-book cds to 24/192 format?, I do not believe the older stock version Romulas could do the conversion, cheers. |
very good point Bobheinatz. |
@ Grannyring, Do you mind me asking what sales site you found your Romulas player you bought?, I have never seen one on audiogon before, unless one slipped thru the cracks, cheers. |
Thankyou grannyring, I have never thought to look at FYI for a cd-player, why would a Romulas be listed there? |
LOL!, I am sorry, I do not know computer terminolgy, Thankyou Grannyring. |
what does Asthetix do to addresse Jitter in the Romulas? |
Thats a good question about the tubes to roll to in the Romulus,However, I do not understand why people buy a tube product and attempt to get this so called none tuby sound, why not buy a solid state player?, If I buy a tube product, It better sound like one!, If it does not, It will be gone!, I already went the route of a tube product that had over resolving powers, did not sound like a tube product at all, needless to say, see ya!, that's what happened to that player, LOL!, I believe that the old adage of solid state tring to sound like tubes, and tubes tring to sound like solid state is sinceless!, tubes should sound like tubes, solid state should sound like solid state! |
Jafant, which model did you get time with, the signature model, or the standard model Romulas? |
Grannyring, You know I am a fan of the Romulas, maybe you have not found the best direct to amp set-up yet, look at Mattnshilp's thread, The absolute best for top tier redbook dac, you will see Guidocorona sold the Top model Roland pre-amp to use the Roland Aeris dac with Volume control to use straight to his amp, I wonder why he did that?, I understand what may work for him may not work for you, Guidocorna may be on to something. |
I respect what all of you are saying about running direct or not, useing an active pre-amp, I will say, their is rare instances that a componet running direct to an amp is better than an active pre-amp, and on the most part all of you are correct, and should trust your own ears, one rare componet long ago that sounded better running direct to amps versus a seperate active pre-amp was the Krell KPS-25sc, at the time of the technolgy, the Krell Kps-25sc was it, looking for a componet that can run direct to amps with success over a seperate active pre-amp is like looking for a needle in a hay stack, However, It can be done, cheers gentleman. |
@ Kana813, Do you have a signature Romulas running direct to amplification? |
Charles1dad, hi, did you find enough interest in the Yamamoto DAC to buy one for your self?, also, is their more than one model?, thank you. |
