| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? I could build you a custom "high end" preamp with any tubes, tone controls, etc. Happy Listening. | |
| All ARC vs All Pass Labs vs All CJ system compare If you look at the designs, then you can have a general idea why they sound different. SS cannot produce the "tube" sound sonically. So you are better telling us what sound you prefer and then we can recommend the manufacturer offers that sound.... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Nice, very nice. Lots of time spent. I get why you tried a few from one single company. I always wanted to know if the same companies product were that much better as you went up the line. I did not really understand what sound you were looking f... | |
| Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier Old Counterpoint hybrid amps are right in the middle of tube & SS. Plus they can be upgraded to sound better than a lot of amplifiers. | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT @magnuman - what other transports have you compared it to? It is a very nice sounding transport no doubt. The other transports we tried were more to our preference and that is what this is all about. We build our own components/DAC included and... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport Years of experience actually do not mean anything, it comes down to what you have heard and in how many different systems. If you don’t think CD transports make a difference come to my Listening Room in Northern NJ. We have around 6 different ones... | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT While the Esoteric is a very well made component and it also sound really good the top ones on my list better it in sound quality. The Esoteric has less of an organic sound if that is what you are looking for. The Audiomeca was one of the best sou... | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? The switch in every system we have tried really makes an improvement in clarity, noise floor, etc. Silent Angel makes an inexpensive one that works very well. It is not one you have to go back and forth to hear the improvement either. | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT Best hands down Pro-Ject Audio Then Audiomeca Mephisto II Next Metronome T1A & AL2 CD Transport & Power Supply Then CEC TL-2 Then Nano Then Rega Saturn modified Then the rest go down from there | |
| Cable re-termination in NJ area My listening room is in Boonton, NJ so PM me. Happy Listening. | |
| Help me choice Audioquest speaker cables Better off changing a few capacitors and resistors as cables can vary depending on your components especially if you buy and sell them at various times. | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated It comes down to the design and parts quality not the price. You can get close with a very good integrated unit but it is difficult to design something with having the chassis limit your overall design. It can be done but then you might as well go... | |
| Poll: Most impactful component As a manufacturer, every time we build a piece that becomes the best component since the last one. I always begin with the source because we start with piano recordings. If the piano is not right, nothing else in the chain matters to us and can al... | |
| Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component? @vonhelmholtz - wisely spending. Well maybe if you know what makes sound and how to put it together. But since we manufacture components and repair and upgrade components, most people do not have a clue as to what impacts sound. Most people and... | |
| "But it sounds better at night...." @aewarren it should say wash it. Lol |
