| V-Cap ODAM: What the Future Sounds Like We manufacturer and upgrade components now using all ODAM capacitors. They do what most say they do. BUT there is more to upgrading with ODAMs that can improve your sound quality. For example, AC filter chokes, Audio Note/Nichicon power capacit... | |
| Distorted sound in Parasound A23 power amplifier Most likely you have a bias issue or blown output devices. Local to New Jersey I can take a look at it. Happy Listening. | |
| Jay’s Audio CDT3-MK3 wins over Aurender W20SE IMO and experience to-date, the transport has sounded better to my ears than any streaming device. Have not heard the all but have heard more than most. That being said, the DAC also had a bigger impact on the sound meaning that a reference DAC ... | |
| 100% USA designed & made DAC The one we manufacturer Vu Jade Audio - hand made USA - best parts - point-to-point wired - 101D direct heated Triode tubes - R2R. Happy Listening. | |
| Aurender @vonhelmholtz - glad they are taking care of you. The R2R DAC has everything one could ask for. It is a reference quality DAC. Substituting chokes in place of other parts improved the sound more then we imagined and the use of V-Cap ODAMs took ... | |
| Aurender we can repair you Holo DAC if you are looking for that. PM me - we are located in New Jersey. | |
| Class-D Audio USA have just released their new GaN amp at the CES Anyone in the northern New Jersey area want to bring one of the amps over to the listening room we would enjoy meeting with you and having a listen. We are open to hearing and learning new things. Happy Listening. | |
| Real world experience with Line Magnetic 805ia The integrated amp is a good value meaning is does pretty much everything pretty good, The other amps discussed here I forget the name Knight or something like that to our ears was better overall sounding but the build construction was just OK ... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Just pop the lid off and take a look inside. Layout, parts quality, etc. and then you should know if it was worth $40K. Remember the dealer also gets a percentage of the $40K so in reality, it is not a $40K product, Happy Listening. | |
| Don’t over power condition! Upgrade the parts in your components power supply before trying to filter your system. Simple AC chokes will most likely do more to improve the sound that a conditioner and a lot less costly. Happy Listening. | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 To our ears the Hegel lacked dynamics, musicality, dimension. The Luxman very musical lacked bass control and output. The old BEL power amp in stock form was just better in every way. Happy Listening. | |
| Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer? Yeah the DAC we build. 30 pound separate power supply, 101D direct heated triode tubes, point-to-point wired, V-Capacitors, Audio Note resistors, Nichicon capacitors, AC filter chokes, R2R, etc. Probably not one DAC manufacturer uses any of the ... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Hands down the Goldbug is the best we have ever heard period. So musical and enjoyable. The Denon cartridge with the wood body is a great deal for the money. Happy Listening. | |
| Cables to settle brightness Soo you want to use cables to place a band-aid on your sound. Interesting. | |
| Used gear prices and the state of the hobby. I sometimes will offer a 30-90 warranty on my used gear but I do require the option to repair the unit first and I do not pay for the shipping to and from costs if it ever comes to that. You should pay what you want to for anything new or used so ... |
