| 12au7 tube? You speak as if these tubes are easy to counterfeit. Just look to construction and the acid etched codes. RCA black plates are fairly common. Mullards are among my least favorite 12AU7s as are the RCA clear tops. | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? Well I would completely ignore any discussion of anything audio related on ASR, just as an example. I never put much stock in reviewers or reviews. Perhaps a bit less these days than back in... Like you, b-dog, I can get any digital rig regardl... | |
| Did I Expect too much? Forgot to mention that I really like the expensive Cardas posts simply because of function. I really dont know if they sound better. | |
| Did I Expect too much? Excellent points. I believe it was Ken at CAT that uses cheaper resistors because he believes they sound better. | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? So your concern is economic rather than social. The operative word is not need, but rather want. | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? My most expensive component are my amps at $ 19K. In my mind the obscenity of a $ 19K purchase is little different than that of a $ 250K purchase. Key to this is that I set these limits for myself and not others. | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? audio-b-dog see a bit of logical problem with your way of thinking? What type of scoundrel spends 18K on speakers? So I guess 20K for a pair is right out of the question. You draw the line and let us know. And then daveyf comes in and gives him ... | |
| Did I Expect too much? Leave it to jasonbourne to surprise us all with a totally unique response. Those who have enjoy those who dont complain. Damn high-end audio lobby. | |
| Mike's Barn. Well if one is good, two are better. I really like the CS Port. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Well it may not be intentional but necessary given the drivers used and crossover design. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Would the ASR folks say if you cant measure the difference between the flutes there is no difference? Hard to think like these folks. | |
| Suggestions for Preamp Tubes My favorite 6DJ8 has always been the Amperex early to mid 1960s production. Still reasonably priced. If you can get the tubes guaranteed to be noise and microphonics free. The tubes may not be to blame in regards to your system's bright quality. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Kennyc hits it on the head. | |
| What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why? Merrill-Williams Kuzma Townsend (older great value) | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? Yes indeed. Believe me, I would rather spend less than more, but experience has taught me that often spending more pays dividends equal to or exceeding this extra expenditure. I dont understand the motive behind getting us to deny the validity of ... |
