| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair If you want holographic, there's none better than PureAudioProject. Connect them to a decent power tube amp (I'm using MasterSound Compact 845 with Trio15Classic) | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? Regarding the T+A DAC200.. I don't think the preamp is defeatable and I have no use of a preamp (the MasterSound Compact 845 is an integrated amp). | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? @hilde45 We're in complete agreement. But I'm not going to argue against someone that thinks all DAC's sound the same. It's their opinion and I will just leave it at that. | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? @texasblues1959 Just like there's people saying you can't hear the difference between cables, or between amps for that matter... everyone's entitled to their opinion. | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? Regarding Holo Audio Dac's... I listened to the May KTE and although nice, it wasn't much of an improvement from my modded PSA DirectStream; different yes, but not necessarily better in all regards. @soix I'm not sure about the Mojo... PCM onl... | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? @steakster The router is a Silent Angel Bonn with a dedicated power supply (HDPlex). All ethernet cables are AudioQuest. Power conditioning is done by PSA PowerPlant 12. | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? I think I've reached the end point at least a dozen times. Ever time I think "this is it" an itch to try something different develops. It's an illness, but a fun one at that! | |
| List Of Small Company Tube Amps Mastersound, a small Italian company. Each amp is hand built by one person and they’re designed with a very clear and concise philosophy, no feedback and clear, clean tube sound. | |
| 12au7 tube? @thecarpathian a d just as I thought I had the perfect tube you come up with the RCA’s… :-) | |
| 12au7 tube? Best combination has turned out to be Melz 1587 and La Radiotechnique 12AU7WA. The perfect combination of air, details, natural sound (and never edgy or dull) and a soundstage that is unbelievably awesome! | |
| This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity? Closest to what you’re describing. 3.5w goes much further than you might think… https://www.zuaudio.com/loudspeakers/p/mb1 | |
| 12au7 tube? I'm also going to test different 6sn7's. I already have a pair of Sylvania 6SN7GTB Chrome Tops and I'm getting a pair of Melz 1578's (which likely will take quite some time to arrive since they're coming from Ukraine). They're kind of on two diffe... | |
| Used tube preamps, Cary, AR, Aesthetix, Wells...........or? Balanced inputs/output isn’t really about gain, it’s the natural noise rejection due to positive/negative/ground. The lowered the noise floor, the more details you can hear (theoretically). This is one of the reasons recording studios are using ba... | |
| 12au7 tube? It's quite concerning hearing about the quality issues at Psvane. Grant Fidelity (premiumvaccumtubes.com) dropped them due to quality concerns/issues and are selling Linlai only. This makes it really difficult to find good 845 tubes for a futu... | |
| Cary SLP 98 vs Benchmark LA4 They're really very different... the Cary is definitely what I would call warm (but that doesn't mean that it obscures any details). The Benchmark is as stark neutral as it gets. |
