| Harbeth: HL Compact vs HL7 Compact Thanks a lot guys! The availability of the drivers really is an aspect I didn't have in mind. Magical midrange - that's exactly what I'm looking for. So the magical question is which iteration to take. As far as I know the first model that had t... | |
| Best E88CC for a brutal subbass experience? @audiosaurusrex Yes, I was reading he is not that responsive... I can't see the picture in your post. Which exact tube is it? Thanks! | |
| Best E88CC for a brutal subbass experience? @sbank Thanks Spencer, I wrote an email to Andy. Really wondering while most tube descriptions only refer to "the bass", while explicit subbass qualities don't seem to be of interest. | |
| Fist Watt F6 vs Pass Labs XA 25 @chorus OK could you elaborate that a bit? And are you able to compare them with the F6? | |
| Mullard E188CC - but with tight bass? @lowrider57 I thought and hoped so even though the bugle boys didn't show any improvements through a process of around 100 hours of burn in.In contrast to this the Mullards bass sounded much better yesterday evening. So when do you think can I exp... | |
| Mullard E188CC - but with tight bass? Ok. That’s what I wanted to hear. Will definitely keep an eye on them. Thanks!Still open to other solutions of course. | |
| Mullard E188CC - but with tight bass? Digitalviper, I don't think so.. ;] my Abyss 1266 PHI TC already IS a subwoofer and the First Watt F6 dual mono can kick his ass. It's more about fine-tuning. I don't just need a massive bass, it has to be tight!@tvad Thanks for the link. That's r... | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC I finally found an excellent solution with a LAB 12 DAC 1 Reference. Got a demo unit since a few days which performs THAT perfectly close to vinyl that I’m about to say the search is over.The only thing that still is on my mind is the Metrum Onyx/... | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC Thanks relaks! In the meantime I "accepted" that absolutely no dac will exactly sould like vinyl, not just due to the physical process of a needle touching an LP. So I guess I need to "refresh" my goal and would like to get as close as possible. F... | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC @nekoaudio Thanks for the explanations. I just found those reviews on your website and will get through them!@ghulamr The Metrum Onyx already is on my list. Hopefully I'll have a chance to try it out soon. Thank you! | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC @jjss49 That’s - even for 3 systems - an impressive list (with some candidates I’m interested in), thanks a lot for your effort! Out of those you have kept: which one do you think could match best in my case, if you take as a basis that I prefer r... | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC @invalid @nekoaudio To be honest I have never tried (or even seen) a transformer output dac like the Neko Audio D100 Mk2. What exactly could I expect? I’m using a passive pre between my (active) tube preamp and the power amp and always thought abo... | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC @jjss49 Just out of curiosity - which dac did you finally choose based on your corona-phase-shootout?@snackeyp I was reading your review of the Holo May. Excellent write-up, absolutely enjoyed it. As the May is not my budget - are you able to comp... | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC Can someone comment on orchid VS pagoda? I used to have a Lector Strumenti CDP 707 that was using PCM 1704 with a pair of ECC 81 tubes. Loved it a lot but I'd like a DAC with a different chip now which leads me more to the orchid. | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC @jjss49 Thanks a lot for the link to that very similar thread. Really helpful and even more to consider. I will look further at the units from MHDT and Holo Audio. Yeah its obvious. He should try to meditate a bit ... ;] |
