| Rick Schultz`s new cable Bravo Rick. Agisthos, well said. An unhealthy life indeed. I have dealt with similar issues in audio, and public catharsis rarely heals. Bi0drainx, if you liked VD cabling, try the new stuff. I am sure you and Rick can work through this.... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? .....the Amarra (and ULN-8) dacs have both x-over and room correction capabilities.... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? The dbx used with the EP speaker did x-over duty as well. Clayton Shaw (designer of the EP line) actually transitioned to software-based x-over and room correction that was supposed to be substantially more sophisticated (Spatial Computing). I nev... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Mike, that is a nice size, particularly the ceiling height. From your system images, things looked tighter. I am not familiar with the Lyngdorf unit. I used one from DBX back when I was messing with an Emerald Physics speaker. It made a discernibl... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Mike, I agree with you that speakers trump electronics on a relative scale of influence. That being said, what about your room? I have heard many state that the room is the most important variable in the equation. What have you tried in terms of r... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Dude fan mail aside, the OP's central issue is how to find the right amp (with SET-like attributes) that will mate with the Dude. Tellefsen, what about the Dude's performance seemed subpar? Tthean has used the Dude with a 8W SET and horns and was ... | |

| Best tube preamp ever Listen to Goldeneraguy. Don't forget the room. It is the final arbiter of your sonics.... | |
| Best tube preamp ever Gago, you have a lot to think about since you are in the system building mode. Your room is the most important variable. Component selection is like cooking. Find out what you like in the context of what you can afford. I would also look at the Da... | |
| Best tube preamp ever What is the rest of your system?Ypsilon PST-100 Mk.II | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Sounds a lot like my better half. Patience is not a heralded virtue in audio but I would exercise it here. There is a real risk of going backwards or sideways at best. Save your pennies, and upgrade the speaks in the future. Buy your wife that nic... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? You find can many synonyms for the golden rule of audio used by manufacturers and end users alike. It makes for good ad copy. The problem is how you define "source". If by source you mean the recording, then unfortunately 9/10, the harm has alread... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Given George's explanation, it makes little sense... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? That is interesting George. Why do you think the LSA is immune to a battery supply? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I just saw the Warspeed thread on AC and was mildly curious. They could not provide any details on "why" it was better, and it simply seemed like a me-too product. The name even tells you as much. From the listening tests mentioned earlier in this... |
