| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Certainly possible, although I also felt that the two dacs sounded very different from one another. Obviously Lampizator thinks you can get a pretty good idea of what the Amber offers within 7 days. And as Bill pointed out, everyone's impression i... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @brownsfan Unfortunately the closest I get to classical on a regular basis (or during my auditioning) is electronica, so I don't really have much to say. Hopefully Bill has some thoughts. I started to write about the imaging/soundstaging of the ... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @facten I don't think there's much inconsistency there, despite the apparent discrepancy at first glance. My speakers err on the side of detail and liveliness, and it seems that Bill's may instead start off on the side of liquid smoothness. Add ... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I was just discussing the dac shootout with another member via PM and the conversation highlighted one of the key differences in my experiences with the Amber 3 and the Audio Mirror T3-SE. If you find yourself wanting to get more detail or "wak... | |
| Resistors vs.peltz Autoformer- Differences @almarg Thanks Al. Appreciate the education... | |
| Classic Audio T1 and T3 field coil loudspeakers Thanks Ralph. Appreciate the input... | |
| Classic Audio T1 and T3 field coil loudspeakers Bumping an old thread...Can anyone comment on the sound of the T3 vs. the classic hartsfield collection? I saw a doubled up Studio Standard II that looks interesting but there’s not too much information out there on that model (everything I found ... | |
| Resistors vs.peltz Autoformer- Differences This cues a related question I've been mulling for quite some time. Assuming the impedance increase added by the autoformer doesn't put the load outside of the amp's desired impedance range, what are the downsides of adding one? That is, why don'... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? One last quick note about Colin @ Gestalt Audio... during my demo I had a cable catch the serial number sticker on the back of my unit and scratch it up. He was super gracious and just took the personal loss on that. Small and insignificant "dam... | |
| Streamers with I2S connectivity @lxgreen What Bricasti model are you referring to? I found the M5 network player, but it didn't have I2S... | |
| Streamers with I2S connectivity I use a Magna Mano ULTRA streamer for exactly this reason. It uses the PS Audio spec for its I2S hdmi output. | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. Congrats. Perhaps, as Bill noted, it's the reduction in impedance from paralleling caps that is helping? I often don't understand why things are having the influence they are, but it's always great to get an outcome like that, regardless. | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil I tried the Duelund .01uF tinned copper cast bypass caps in three positions and came to different conclusions each time. I liked them on the .47uF interstage coupling caps of my Coincident Frankenstein 300b monos. Thought the sound got more real... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @grannyring Interesting. I had 150 hours on the Amber, unfortunately my trial ends tomorrow, although I'm very comfortable sticking with the Audio Mirror after hearing all of these sources over the past month. Cable wise, I've got a mix of silve... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror A cross-post from the Lampizator Amber 3 thread that I think people here would be interested in too...~~~~Finished my dac shootout today... had the Lampizator Amber 3, Audio Mirror Tubadour 3 SE, ifi iDSD pro, and Shiit Bifrost 2 on hand. Previou... |
