| Rays Tubes These are fantastic tubes. I use them in my BHK preamp (and in my recently sold Primaluna Dialogue Premiums run as monoblocks). I have a large stash of NOS 12AU7s--Brimars, Teles, Radiotechnique, Cifte, Mullards and new production Gold Lions. T... | |
| Novum PMR - I am impressed Hi all. My review just posted in the PS Audio Forums... It’s a beast: Fourteen inches in diameter and over seventeen pounds of sand-cast bronze alloy. I’ve had it for five days now, no break-in required! The instructions say that it can be place... | |
| Primaluna tube rolling 12AU7 Notes I have matched pairs of most all of the 12AU7s discussed here, and right now I prefer the new production Apos RAY 12AU7s which come with a warranty and a return period... | |
| Novum PMR - I am impressed I have a used MkII arriving tomorrow... | |
| Which HDMI cable for I2S? I use Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 with great results. Better than any of the earlier generation AQ cabels I tried--Mocha/Coffee and Vodka... | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery I put a graphene sluggo in my Nordost QB-8 Mk2 power distributor replacing a Synergistic Master Fuse, and found it superior to the Master... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? Dog help me, but this was simply an incredibly useless, pointless, depressing and endless series of exchanges... | |
| After 50 years, I have finally found my destination amps... AGD Audions! I have had the AGD Gran Vivaces here for a week and a half. They are end-game for me too. I will be selling all my other tube and solid state amplifiers... | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? The Apos Ray 12AU7 new production tubes are really terrific and come with a trial and a warranty. They sound better than new production Gold Lion and any of the NOS 12SU7s I have in my stash including Teles, Brimar, Radiotechnique, Mullard and mor... | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer Current production Synergistic is the way to go. Foundation SX or, if you can swing it, something in the Atmosphere series. I'm not a shill, just someone who has discovered how good their products are, especially when used together. Can be audit... | |
| Signal tube versus power tube, sound impact? I’m giving the new Apos Ray 12AU7 tubes a spin in my BHK pre and I am quite impressed so far. https://apos.audio/products/apos-ray-tube-12au7 36 Apos / Ray are cagey about their provenance (China, most likely) and they claim to only accept the t... | |
| DAC upgrade You should consider the PS Audio Directstream DAC Mk1. It definitely doesn't have the form factor you want, which may well disqualify it, but it's an amazing DAC an now with the Mk2 out they are selling for around $2k, I've seen one for $1900. | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? My first experience with upgraded AC cables was with the Synergistic AC Master Couplers in the nineties. I use a full SR loom in my $100k system, many purchased used as others upgrade. They continue to innovate. I'm extremely happy with their off... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Fyne F703s are most likely my end game at 67. HOWEVER: There is a F703 SP coming and if I can finesse a trade, I'd be in for a few thousand $$$ more! | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Mine are Fyne F703s with three REL Carbon Specials are end game for me. Unless I get offered an unreasonable trade-in on them for the new F703 SPs... |
