| Holo Audio May DAC Congrats @cudfoo. I've had both in my system, and confidently predicted your outcome when I saw the initial purchase posting. Glad to see you had the same experience I did in that shootout. | |
| Best N.A. Audio Manufacturers to Work For? Pretty weird that the "sea faring/marine job bots" got a hold of this old thread. I do appreciate the real responses (and PMs) though. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @georgehifi I was told by kitsune that those are not coupling caps. I think Tim said they are for power filtering. | |
| Lampizator Amber 3 vs Trubadour SE III Hi there. I've had both in my system and ended up with the Audio Mirror. If I had to describe the sound of each in a few quick words, I'd say the Amber 3 is bright, lively, and dynamic and the Audio Mirror is organic and fleshed out. I really li... | |
| PS Audio Perfectwave vs Directstream DAC @audiodwebe Thanks. I genuinely wish I knew the reason I don't like the DSD. Would be useful to learn what's going on so I could understand my ears better. High noise floor and rolled off bass (two measured properties of the DSD) don't capture ... | |
| What's up with Vinnie Rossi L2i SE? Also, if something came loose during shipping, it's likely any competent local tech could solve it for less than shipping. Not great for your audio ocd, but probably cheaper and safer than the shipping trip. | |
| TRL DUDE preamp If only everyone in the industry acted like this. I had Radu Tarta from Shiney Eyes build me a dht pre and the experience was much the same. Coincident? Not so much. | |
| What's up with Vinnie Rossi L2i SE? @jriggy I have absolutely no idea if this is true or not, but with the offer of such a long warranty for original owners, I suspect there's some wiggle room for second owners... especially if the problem clearly isn't due to bouncing around during... | |

| TRL DUDE preamp @laaudionut And apparently outperformed Aric’s preamps as well, as the Motherload 2 is the company’s top of the line pre! | |
| What's up with Vinnie Rossi L2i SE? I've never read a bad thing about the sound. | |
| PS Audio Perfectwave vs Directstream DAC I’ve owned both. Unlike most, there was something about the DS that just doesn’t work for my ears. I upgraded twice, and both times sold the DS. Rebought a PWD the first time and then moved on to an Audio Mirror T3 SE that I find quite a bit super... | |
| Duelund 16ga vs. 12ga I have short cable runs due to monoblocks, but never heard any difference between the two on my bass cabinets. Unfortunately never tried the 12ga on my head units. I eventually switched to tempo electric solid core silver wiring and found it sup... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @branislav Hi there, I believe I'm the person being referred to above. See p3 of this thread for my full comments, but here's the key paragraph of comparison. Feel free to ask for further details. Also, when I bought my AM, it was indeed a 2-we... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps @nightfall Good luck on the search! I followed Charles' advice as well and loved those amplifiers too. Also, I haven't heard a mkIII, but am somewhat sceptical that there's much difference between it and the mkII model. I suspect the primary dif... |
