| New Speaker Conundrum - Vandy's, Spendors, Salk, Ascend - Mainstream or ID @cptkaos where are you located, in NJ? I can invite you to come over to listen to my Vandersteen 5As. IMO I would buy a good pair of Vandersteen 5As used in the $6K range and you won't have to use any subs, etc. Just a good power amp and sour... | |
| Transformer coupled vs Capacitor coupled? Basically it comes down to implementation of the design. All of the designs have their benefits and detriments. Coupling capacitors have a wide bandwidth but can give up dynamics, details, and transparency to transformer coupled. With transform... | |
| Does this sound like a good deal? @gongli3 - maybe buy a tube hybrid amp design! LOL | |
| So I gained a few pounds and that lost love! It is not the expense of the cable but the design of the cable that makes a difference. I believe that there are only a few companies that actual manufacturer cable/wire so to me that means it comes down to the design implementation and what that... | |

I have heard sever... | |
| $30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous? Most people here have never heard a DHT product so while everyone has an opinion, to me they are not helpful especially when nobody here said that they have heard this DC and especially not in their own system. My company builds DHT products and ... | |

| VPI forum VPI does not have an Audiogon account. They are responsive to phone calls more than emails. | |
| Is There any Consensus at all amongst Audiophiles? IMO this comes back to understand design and what impacts sound in what ways. To me that was the learning experience on how to improve sound and in what ways sound could be improved. To me this is why there are so many opinions and no consensus ... | |

| Phono Preamp Tube Rush Even transistors have noise if you are placing your ear up against the speaker.Happy Listening. | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush @three_easy_payments - I thought my post was very clear in that the phono stages mentioned may sound great but if the unit has noise then IMO something is not correct. Why would I buy anything that had noise? Like I said, these products may soun... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush All tube phono stages do not have tube rush. Sounds like a poorly designed unit IMO. While it may sounds excellent as you say, there is something not right about the design.@dhcod - the original Telefunken factory in CT is back in operation!Happ... |
