| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I think there are many variables at play in reviews, and there is value in both initial impressions and long-term, systematic analysis. I also think there is value in blinded listening sessions with multiple listeners to remove bias. Most people a... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Right on Luis. That's what I currently believe as well. Wireless is the future. One element that I mentioned in my review (Perrew alluded to it and I am sure you feel this too) is one of pragmatism. It is a pain having to have a computer in your l... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport It is clear from the thread that there is absolutely no consensus on the actual value of asynchronous USB. Some people are using. Some are not. The point was made that the Alpha Berkeley DAC does not and it is considered by many to be one of the b... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Kool. Nugent was commenting on asynchronous USB and how it is a major step forward away from crappy plug and play USB. Gordon did a lot of proprietary programming to make it happen and deserves the recognition. | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Tony, I read the review. Interesting. He did not blind himself to the A+B portion of his session (slaved Transporter vs CEC), and so Lessloss' recommendation could have influenced him. Its hard to know. The nice thing with the Z is that there is n... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Juanitox: "Hi, I never had the Lesslos and Zardoz at the same time. I had sold my lessloss dac 2004 to Mike Smith ( 6moons audio) because I discovred that my db System modded PASS dac D1 was better than the Lessloss. I then sold my PASS Dac becaus... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Juanitox, you owned the LessLoss DAC prior to the Zardoz. Any care to comment on the two sonically? | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Thanks Luis. Again, I like tidbits from the audio journey. Fun. I had forgotten part of our last telephone conversion in which you told me you had tinkered with it. I too looked at the Transporter and was impressed by the work Logitech put into it... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Lol. We could have young Ryan, our budding director film the whole thing...an audio documentary....! | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I am curious too.....Gallant_diva, where are things? You have had the Dude for a few months.I know Pat/Rx8man has not received his Dude yet. He does have a TRL passive which has surprised him.... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Other tidbits to mention:1. I had been intrigued by the Amarra software and whether it influenced wireless. I initially thought the answer was no. Apparently not. You can apparently route things to an Airtunes via the Roque Amoeba software AirFoil... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Lol! Pat, you and I think alike. I would be game for a shootout any day of the week! Bring it....otherwise all we are left with is words floating around in the internet ether.... | |
| Wyetech Jade and TRL Dude Gary, I missed your post above. Congrats on purchasing the Dude. I don't think you will be disappointed. It is hard to know if it is better than the Jade in an absolute sense. If the Dude does not float your boat, you can always snag a Jade in the... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Good stuff Tony. I like to hear people's audio history. Another TRL family member bopped by my house and we did some A+B power cord testing and I believe he had the midlevel Lessloss cord. It was very nice. I liked it. I think the "dude" behind is... | |
| Wyetech Jade and TRL Dude That's kool. I used to own the AI L1. Very nice little linestage. I liquidated my previous system and thus the L1 went away. The "just thereness" is a good thing to shoot for IMO as well. The Dude does that (I think) and more in other ways that ar... |
