| Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget let me ask some of you guys, does a photo of the guts of a player mean anything important to you?I realize its not possible to tell exactly how a player will sound from a photo, but you at least see some of the build quality. | |
| Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget Mrtennis, why even mention Primaluna when they do not even have a web site????????????? Just forget it. "all players sound about the same"....Not true. Also reliability is of extreme importantce in cdp's. | |
| Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget have not heard the Unison. look forward to the 4 tube prima luna. I thought the cayin SACD and the Cayin 17 were built on close specs. So i figured they would sound 'similiar". I had the stock chinese 6922's rolled to Sovtek ( $150/quad)and made a... | |
| Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget I just looked at the guts of the Doge 6. For me there is no choice, staying with my Cayin 17. | |
| Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget Thae descrip of the Doge 6 with 6 out tubes single ended triode makes me think twice about the wonderful Cayin 17 with its 4 tube 6922 output..... I have pre comming from pacific in a few weeks, may have to do other business with them.. | |
| What is "polite" sound? "polite" rarely uzed term would mean weak in bass and rolled highs. Tp ,e the Spendor 8 's were too polite, weak in all 3 main fq ranges. No authority for a speaker retailing at $3K. More often you will hear the term "warm" there are plenty of spe... | |
| Does tube rolling with regard to CDP mean... I rolled the stock 6922's in the Cayin to Sovtek's and like the sound slightly better. IOW worth the $150/quad investment. There's others that might be even better for more $, but don't feel the need to invest at this time. maybe in 2 yrs from now... | |

| Break in period sound the same toady as at first set up 4 yrs ago. = not a believer in the " the theory" or better "the myth" of the "break in period". As in all things audio you have 2 main camps. tubes vs ss, analog vs digital, , I'm in the camp with fewest mem... | |

| Old E-V cheapos EV A1's. I remember a friend taking me to hear "the most incredible" 2 way he's ever heard, he even prefered it over the big Macintosh with 30 speakers per cabinet. As we A/B the showroom. They hanged on the wall with a rear passive 12 inch radiat... | |
| Tyler acoustics questions I can agree, there are most likely a few accidents with FEDEX as well. BUT! With FEDEX in command you sleep better at night. | |
| Tyler acoustics questions We can all understand your frustration, and are glad to see how that it all worked out. Yes Ty was trying to get your speaker back ASAP. But Ty should have known of UPS with heavy packages, their unreliability and should have suggested to you to w... | |
| How do tube Watts compare to SS Watts? Smooth explanation, thanks. This explains why the KT88 and KT90 have different characterits in voicing. And as you know every KT90 amp will have different circuitry/ quality trans, and that also every model KT90 tube will possess somewhat differen... |
