Tube integrated for Devore Super Nines
Thanks, @mresseguie . Nice group of goods! I imagine that's a really musical tuneship to travel on.Daedalus look so very nice. The Muse Studio was on my short, short list along with Devore - the Super Nines came up first at a great price and I'm g...

@goldprintaudio Thanks for that - I enjoyed talking with you - you carry some very nice gear. I'd stilll definitely go with the Leben if I could, but that will have to wait patiently....errr...I'll have to do the waiting. In the meantime, the info... 
Tube integrated for Devore Super Nines
@wig Just looked through Audio Circle (thanks for the reminder!) and couldn't find a lot direct comparison comments. Maybe that thread got disappeared. There was plenty of praise for both - definitely a big fan base for Don Sachs and some a Bernin... 
Tube integrated for Devore Super Nines
@wig  Wow. Don Sachs. No kidding, nice! Moving to the top next to Decware.@cymbop The Triton heated up my living on demo to sauna temp a few years back on demo. Nice sounding, but was a little aggressive and ran hot, hot, hot.

Tavish Vintage vs Bottlehead Eros
@hagtech I've been looking at, considering and mulling over your Cornet for some time.  It is very much on my sonic mind and comes up consistently in my musings. That said, I really like the 6SL7 sound. so your tube rectified octal version was rea... 
Tavish Vintage vs Bottlehead Eros
My set up ran out of volume/gas w/the 38db of the AES and was much better with the 45db from the internal MM stage on my VPI 299d. Not so fond of the SS sound out of that set up though. Too bad - the AEE is pretty great sounding. The Otello is a g...

Tavish it is! That all makes great sense.Yes, the Eros is a kit, but there are a couple already built ones for sale now Thanks - I really appreciate the input.I’m pretty psyched: Scott’s going to adjust the and I live close enough to pick it up to...

Back to your previous post, Doug, and not to nitpick, but expense and quality don't necessarily go hand in hand. I imagine many if us spent plenty of money on wires....and gear...with sometimes disappointing results.Gabriel Gold and Twisted Pair D...

Several years ago I sold off my big rig and downsized because of shifting financial sands. My system is still beyond what a "normal" person might consider reasonable, but here, among my peeps, you know what I mean. I've felt a little put off by it... 
Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic
Well, there's a bold statement! I can say the the improvement is remarkable in 'realism' for me and in all realms of sonic descriptors and segments. All the qualities I love about the GG Rapture are amplified as if on steroids. It's also true that... 
Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic
HA! HAVE is right in my backyard almost. Driven by there and wondered what they were many times.....elephant head and all...I put two pairs of Gabriel Gold Rapture (one 'r' version) on Audio Sensibility Impact SE splitters from my CDP/DAC (Cary 30...
