| Synergy - Mix and Match - Solid State of Mind Cagliostro,A DeHavilland UltraVerve, a tube preamp based on octal tubes (6SN7 and others) fits the bill for fast, noiseless, and I could think of a few other adjectives such as musical, natural, etc. Not sure how it will act with your Gamut or oth... | |
| 6SN7 suffixes Check out www.tubeseller.com. Everything you need to know about 6SN7 tubes is there. Brimar CV1988 tubes are especially nice, and one of my faves. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Hey Brian,I won't be able to make the cut because of scheduling issues, plus my ModWright Sony 999ES is not arriving until the end of the week. Obviously it will need an adequate break-in time to sound its best. My wonderful Audio Aero DAC will al... | |
| Are you also thrilled with Mercury Preamp? Nak, the UV sounded good out of the box, but really opened up after a couple of weeks of playing. Consider trying a Brimar CV1988 tube. Its a very well balanced tube throughout the sonic spectrum. Other tubes that I like with the UV are the Tung-S... | |
| Are you also thrilled with Mercury Preamp? I don't have, nor have I heard the Mercury, but I am simply thrilled to own a DeHavilland UltraVerve preamp. I've had the 6SN7 octal tube-based preamp for about a month now. To say that it has transformed my system is an understatement. It was the... | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 or David Berning ZH270? And a good choice it is! You will really enjoy the amp, and you will see it's in a whole other league vs. the 'canes. I used to have the 'canes as well. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? AVGuru, glad you jumped back into this mess! I'm all for getting this thread steered back to its original intent, i.e. comparing the various great digital players, modded or otherwise. Good, bad or indifferent, everyone has their opinions and soni... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Wow, I think I have DAC!! Is there a cure for it, Doctor? | |
| Audio Aero Prima vs. Resolution Audio Opus 21 Boa,If you can stretch your budget by a couple hundred dollars you could get a pre-owned or demo Audio Aero Prima DAC, which is the same DAC section as in the Capitole II. I'm using one with a cheapo Denon 2200 as the transport with great results. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Hey Peter, yes, I know about that tube. I meant more specifically, which 5687? Tung Sol? Other? Sorry, should have been more specific. Thanks! | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Peter, which tubes are you using with the 999ES? | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Hey folks, just wanted to let you know that I have spent time with AVGuru and Jayctoy over the last few weeks listening to their systems, comparing notes, talking about the different "modded" players and such. These guys are class acts!I currently... | |
| Tubed preamp suggestions? A second vote for the deHavilland UltraVerve. I've had mine for only a few days, and it keeps getting better as hours are logged on it. It's quite stunning, and has exceeded my expectations ten-fold. The eval won't be going back! | |

| Anyone know of any cryoed speaker wire? I believe that Audience cryos their speaker cables and interconnects (AU24s). |
