| MONTREAL AUDIOFEST Is POSTPONED Although we approve this wise decision, it is with sadness that we welcome the decision of the Government of Quebec to limit or ban public gatherings of over 250 people in Quebec until further notice.We all invested time and money in this projec... | |
| Playing Vinyl in a Cold Room The relative humidity is 44%.It should be OK. | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? Probably it is the question of combination of specific: DAC, LPS, home electricity and power supply design of other components (CD transport, amplifier, preamplifier) . | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? I used MCRU LPS with my Chord 2qute.The result was a very odd, unbalanced, not organic, unmusical sound.I read a number of other people reported similar bad results with LPS.Yes, there are more positive reviews about usage LPS with Chord DACs.But ... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? All transistor amplifiers (except class A) have thermal distortions (similar to low sensitivity box speakers). The transistors parameters change with changing of temperature. This distortions have inertia. As result you can't fix these distorti... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? Low sensitivity is a trade-off small size and deep bass to bigger size and not as deep bass.Low sensitivity causes thermal compression that makes heavy, constrained, tiresome sound.High sensitivity speakers, in contrast, produce easy going sound l... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts I use Chord Qutest with "white" filter.It sounds natural, not cold or harsh.But I use 300B SET amplifier that typically sounds smooth and warm.Here are some videos: https://youtu.be/e_fpf8TivMAhttps://youtu.be/K3aMCNAD3C8https://youtu.be/mpozf8b8C... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Which 6sn7 do you have?Modern production of vintage?Try Ken-Rad vt231 black glass from 40x. They are great and not crazy expansive. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I don't use streaming. I only listen CDs and vinyl.So, for me only 16bit/44.1KHz is important. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Did anybody compare MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3 toChord DACs? Like: Qutest, Hugo TT, Hugo TT2, Dave, Mojo, Hugo2? | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? I'm using old Cary 303 mk1 CD player as transport with Chord Qutest DAC.Is any modern budget transport that can outperform old Cary?I also listen CDs and LPs. I don't use any streaming service.Regards,Alex. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? As Chord DAC user I have a question:Does anybody compared MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3 to any ofChord DACs Qutest, Hugo2, Hugo 2 TT? | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Hi @erik_squires ,I run Clarity Cap about 20 hours of noise (Frybaby2 connected to my amplifier input).Noise break in - is approximately 5-10 times faster than regular music playing break-in.In addition to that I played about 20+ hours of music.In... | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Here is continue of the power supply capacitors story.CalrityCap capacitors sound really impressive, they have some WOW factor. But I always had feeling of something artificial, like sound was processed by some studio equipment. There are a lot of... | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil You need to try yourself, in some cases bypassing can work good in some cases bad. In my case, Jupiter Cu 1uF works very good with Duelund Cu-Sn bypass 0.01uf on my phonostage output.Probably, if I used a single Duelund Cu-Sn 1uF capacitor, it wou... |
