| Everything Does Seem To Matter Any connection, whether banana , spade or bare wire suffers from oxidation. Contact enhancers such as madscientist, Acoustic Revive, NP1260 et al make a huge difference simply by fighting oxidation and increasing contact surface. I am actually agn... | |
| Fuses May I suggest that people read the reviews on ACME silver fuses. Seems a better deal all around | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @verdantaudio,case in point: that’s why reclockers like the InnuOS Phoenix actually have a value. Even better is the scenario where you can connect server and DAC via USB with a 10m OCXO or rubidium clock optimising the DAC clock. Since the DAC on... | |
| GE 6L6GC bs RCA used as driver tubes on Wavac Ec300b in front of EAT and Takatsuki 300b. The KT66 works best with EAT, the Sylvania Winged-C best with the latter | |
| GE 6L6GC bs RCA One other strong performer is the Tungsol KT66. It draws filament power in accordance with 6L6 spec, has the heavy KT66 glass and gives a great sound: mellow, articulated bass and sweet treble. | |
| GE 6L6GC bs RCA I ran a GE NOS 6l6gc against JAN Philips 7581a cryo and Svetlana Winged-C cryo. It was no comparison and ever since I save the money on NOS tubes | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? @unsound ,+1 | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? ‘Tactful’, such a nicely ambiguous word in this context…. | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? Sluggish and fat: no leading edge or decay. Wallbanging greatness. Muscle amps like muscle cars: good in a straight line | |
| SET the best? @atmasphere,AREN‘t you tooting your horn just a little too much? OTLs are great but only address a very small portion of speakers with high efficiency and high impedance. That may or may not be everybody‘s fare and your implied claim of superiorit... | |
| SET the best? I have yet to find a better amp than my Wavac EC300b. Anyone who has listened to a good high efficiency speaker driven by a good SET, lest they are Harvey Wallbanger won’t go back to anything else. That said, I‘d love to listen to the AGD Audion c... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend At the risk of being repetitive: it is much more the implementation of the individual design than the basic architecture (R2R, FPGA, Delta Sigma)that differentiates dacs: i.e. quality of clocking and power supplies( foremost), quality of the noise... | |
| Streamer/Server to replace Innuos Zenith Innuos are quite clear that they use lower powered chips to achieve lesser noise interference and better sound quality. Obviously that will run counter Roon‘s processor-heavy design including DSP. The fact of the matter though is that Innuos Squee... | |
| Ethernet and USB cables @clearthinker,for the umptiest time: it isn’t the errors in bit transmission but rather spurious EMI/RFI or ground level noise travelling alongside the bits and messing up the d/a conversion that good cables can address. | |
| SUT Advice - Which Ones Are The Best? @rauliruegas,On this one I respectfully disagree: I run a Zyx Universe through a Zyx Artisan stage. When inserting an Altec TBB-103 based SUT that Bob made it gives a substantial leap in performance: faster, more soundstage and definition of instr... |
