| What makes Telefunken tubes sound better? Jafreeman, there are those who would argue that the government's interference in survival of the fittest has actually widened the gulf and is additionally adding to the demise of the middle class.We have more poor people post "great society" than ... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES or NAD M51? Davehg, I found that transferring wav files to the HAPZ1 was problematic to say the least. On the other hand, AIFF, flac, ALAC etc. transferred flawlessly. I found in a few cases the wave files sounded best, but this was 2 albums of many. Most of ... | |
| What makes Telefunken tubes sound better? Schubert lived in Germany for a time and is an astute observer. I would be slow to dismiss his observations. My experience with Germans is limited to the field of organic chemistry in an industrial setting, and further limited to brief customer/cl... | |
| ILLusion Liquid Air Umbilical for Modwright units Wig, I agree. The Illusion is a substantial and very cost effective upgrade for the MW HAPZ1. Based on your comments, it is clear the same applies with the MW 5400. | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Sony needs to wake up and smell the coffee. They have, in my opinion, a superb product with huge sales potential. They are failing miserably when it comes to facilitating commercial availability of their catalogue in DSD, now this issue with Vtune... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Schubert, good thing I'm not running a business. I wouldn't know how to build a business plan around an assumption that 90% of my customers are idiots. How is that for a company brand."Successfully selling junk to complete idiots for generations. ... | |
| ILLusion Liquid Air Umbilical for Modwright units Wig, I finally cleared enough time to get a good critical A/B in on the Illusion and Truth umbilicals with the ModWright HAPZ1. I posted a review which should appear shortly. Bottom line is that this was a very nice find, and my enthusiasm for thi... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Jcaudio, I don't use the Vtuner often, but I did notice the same thing the last time I tried to connect. I can certainly understand why you are upset. Seems like sony is making that fatal audio mistake here, the mistake of assuming its customers a... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mrmb, Indiana has been a great place to live, work, and raise a family. People here are friendly and the cost of housing in particular is very favorable. It is not a glamorous location, but there is a lot to like here. I don't feel a compelling de... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Mitch, my updates on burn in were "complicated" by purchase of new amplifiers. This rendered any continuation of the burn in progress impossible, since there was a quantum jump in performance of the system with the new amps. The amps are new so th... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES or NAD M51? Gfcf, I have owned the HAPZ1 since april. The DSD remastering engine works very well. I have 900 plus albums transferred to the machine. One can turn on and off the DSD engine, and to my ears, conversion to DSD results in a noticeable improvement ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Goldeneraguy,Thanks for the kind words. I have indeed suffered long. Perhaps things will turn around for both the Browns and the Cavs soon. We will see. Out west, it is a different kind of beauty. The heat would be a show stopper for me, though my... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles, well said. As I have grown, matured, and become more experienced in the world of music reproduction in the home -- isn't that better terminology than audio? I have noticed that I tended to agree with certain reviewers, tended to like cert... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Thanks Mikirob, Yes, please keep me posted on your tube rolling exploits with the dynamo. As for me, I just got the Mullard CV378s from Coincident and stuck them in the Franks. Very nice tubes right out of the box. Definitely an improvement over ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Thanks Charles. I'm hoping to hike 3-4 times a week, more initially. In recent years, I've been doing somewhere between 70-90 miles a week on my hiking vacations. I usually drop about 5-7 pounds and feel terrific. There is no doubt this will be th... |
