| First full review of the Verdant Blackthorns in Enjoy the Music Let me know as I can supply you with dac, phono, pre and class A monos. | |
| BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member I am confused where did the shipment end up? Obviously not Vietnam otherwise that would have been big bucks. Was the item insured? | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Everyone has an opinion - which is good - not everyone agrees with another persons opinion - you all know my opinion on this subject matter.Happy Listening. | |
| Clear my confusion Just change a few resistors and caps in the preamp and you will find the magic without a long drawn out search.Happy Listening. | |
| Listening to digital and analog Comes down to the equipment. IMO and experience a reference level DAC will outperform a average to good phono stage. But a refence level phono stage will easily outperform a reference level DAC,My experiences, others may feel differently.Happy L... | |
| How much difference does a phono preamp really make? IMO the phono stage is more important then the table or the cartridge. We did an experiment a few years back using a reference phono stage and a MM basic cartridge and a JC Penny TT (I believe CEC made it for JC Penny). We were all floored by the ... | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) @invalid - I am NOT pushing my services in these threads. Probably not one person posting on these threads could afford my products and services. I have offered to help people out by offering to build them a superior product that they can afford... | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) A winning circuit design will sound better with cheap parts than a average circuit design with top notch parts. Really? Ever build anything? There are no new circuit designs. There are only compromises. Just by putting in a V-cap will change the s... | |
| Build a wooden crate or use a cardboard box for Amplifier. Since I ship heavy equipment weekly, wood crate and mount it to a pallet. Can't be turned upside down or dropped like a box can.Happy Listening. | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) Simple - buy a used Counterpoint preamp just not the slim line SA-3 or SA-5. All you need is a SA1000, Send it to me for modifications - AC filter choke, Audio Note non-magnetic resistors - Amtrans resistors, Nichicon capacitors - maybe Audio No... | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city My suggestion would be to move up to a better Digital Converter first. That probably would make a bigger impact of your system sound then most of the speakers recommended above. | |
| Class A amplifiers completely false statement. Been repairing amps for so long now it comes down more tot the quality of the parts then the heat if the units are vented correctly and they have good heat dispersion. Any old component you purchase probably needs a p... | |
| Focal vs dynaudio Recently heard a pair of the Dyno 20i monitors which are new to the line. I was never a dyno fan but these have a great sound. | |
| Revel Salon 2 vs Vandersteen 5a Carbon Bought my 5As for under $6k and they are an excellent speaker. Hard to find something in that price range that will be much better. I build my own components so I can't help you there. I was really impressed by the model 7s and if I was going t... | |
