| Review: Machina dynamica Brilliant Pebbles Tweak If it was just the pebbles I would say give him the benefit of the doubt but stop and take a look at the overall picture. Look at the Machina Dynamica auction for the "Teleportation Tweak". Go to the website and see each of the items for sale. Com... | |
| Vienna Mozart or Dali Helicon 400 with YBA I audition the entire Triangle line and felt the mids were VERY forward. I liked them but my concern was the "sweet spot". You really had to be positioned correctly for the best sound. In my world I rarely can just sit in the sweet spot and listen... | |
| Vienna Mozart or Dali Helicon 400 with YBA Hello,I own the Helicon 400s and just went through a number of cable swaps. The end result is I felt the Dali's are VERY cable sensetive. I loved the mids and highs with Audioquest Gibraltars but the bass was "boomey". I tried a double run of DH l... | |
| Amplification for Dali MS4 Steve,All I can say is Tubes, Tubes, Tubes! I am using a SET 845 based integrated and I am astonished at the clarity in the treble section. Not harsh or "ear splitting". Very lush and warm but not harsh. I can listen all day long without fatigue.T... | |
| Can Manley's Stingray power VonSchweikert vr4 jrs? Mr. Stain,I am running Dali Helicon 400s with a Dared 845 with 22wpc of stunning SET sound. Don't back away from the Dali 400s with out giving them a shot. The are extremely musical, crystal clear highs, and have a very tight bass presentation. Ve... | |

| Dali Helicon 400 or Acoustic Zen Adagio? Hello,I own the Helicon 400s but have not heard the AZAs. I am running them with a Dared 845 tube based SET at 22wpc. I never go over 12:00 on the volume and I am floored by the dynamics and how easy these speakers are to drive. I can achieve very... | |
| Can Audio Physics be run on low power tubes? Fooolish1,I agree with you whole heartedly. I purchased a Dared 845 3 days ago from a fellow Audiogoner. I ran home and hooked it up and was floored. I have owned/still own an ASL1003DT, Cayin TA-30, and TAD-60 and have never gotten the true music... | |
| Sharing tube experiences with Cayin TA30/PrimaLuna UpscaleAudio,I have seen many threads on the Cayin TA-30 and the PrimaLuna products. Almost every one of them shows more similarities than differences. You know more than anyone about the PrimaLuna products, what exactly are the differences and wh... | |
| Pre for TAD-60 Bob,Great thread! I just received my TAD60 last week and I am not using a preamp. I only use a CD player and have debated getting a preamp. I think the sound is very good by itself but it seems a little unrefined (as you have pointed out). I have ... | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp My TAD-60 is on the way. I am moving my wonderfully satisfying Cayin TA-30 to the second system. Has anyone run the 60 without a preamp?Thanks,Bud | |
| Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference IMHO - It seems to me some people are missing the point of the thread. Cinematic systems is trying to create a scientific review to explain his side of a open ended question. I can write a hundred reasons why Cabernet Sauvignon is a better buy tha... | |
| What amp for Thiel cs3.5's? Ketchup,I have a 18x30 ft pool room to fill. I had a $2k budget for a 2 channel system. I spent $1,500 on a pair of Thiel 3.5s, a Panamax 5300, a NAD 542, and AudioQuest cables. I have used a ASL1003dt ($400 used) with 30 watts and I am currently ... | |
| Good tube pre-amp for Rotel 1090 with Thiel 3.5s Guys,Thanks for the help. I would like to use the amp with a NAD542 CD player, no phono, HT? - it would be nice to expand later. My Thiels are running on a Cayin T30 with suprisingly good results. The sound quality is spacial, warm, and easy to li... | |
| Cayin vs. Antique Sound Labs Rwbadley,The unit I have only has the external bias mod and I am running off a CD (NAD542). I love the clarity and approachable sound of a tube amp! I have had many responses on how good my system sounds and I also don't go pass the 10:00 position... |
