| cayin cdt 17a vs. consonance cd 2.2 "please explain". Well considering how popular its been over the past 3 yrs, it must be one of the finest sounding players. Obviously no one would spend $5K++ for a cdp that doesn't perform. Just read the comments on audiogon about this player. No... | |
| cayin cdt 17a vs. consonance cd 2.2 If you read Driver's comments on my topic of the Droplet, which is Consonance's top of line tube cdp, he says that "I'd walk with the cayin 17". I trust his opinion, as my opinion of the 17 is very high. When I say a tad better, I mean to say anot... | |
| What bests the Consonance Droplet My mistake, Cary 303/200. Sure I did not hear it next to the Cayin on the same system. My friend had the audio Research VT 200 + ARC pre amp and Mirage 1's /Talon Khorus. The ARC amp is way too colored to determine the quality of any cdp. and the ... | |

| Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss? Zaiksman, as I hear it, ss amps are a Dinosaur that is dying a very slow and most painful death. Will take decades more for the final one to be laid to rest. Also chinese tubes amps are on their way. There is no amount of criticism that is going t... | |
| Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss? Also ck out Xiansheng 728. Clean looking and offers plenty of tubes at a incredible pricehttp://www.pacificvalve.us/XS728III.html | |
| Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss? Google up Acoustic Sounds, look at the Cayin SC6LS. Its a bit pricey on their site, shop around. | |
| Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss? I haerd a Audio research VT100 and a Audio research pre 12. Both famous tube amps. I was not impressed at all.Point being you have A-Z as far as sound in tube pre's. I suggest you try a cayin pre. Can't recall the model #. that should do the trick. | |
| Best path to upgrade my source ck out the Consonance Droplet. | |
| Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube The Consonance/Droplet seller called Clearsound offers aphoto of the guts. 2 very nice looking tubes. I'm expecting the sound to about "as damn good as it gets".Thus will retire the outstanding 17 to a second system. | |
| Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube Hi Jtucker, tyes my Cayin 17 is a really fine player offering 2 tubes per channel. I have not upgraded the tubes as i am not sure which tubes to buy in order to get better sound. I posted a topic in the tweak section but have not acted on any of t... | |
