Review: Bybee Technologies Gold SlipStream Purifier Tweak
very interesting. It all adds up as each tweak feeds the benefits on down the chain. I may well give them ago. Did you make your own HDLs? I looked at the walker audio ones, but for me to put them on my speakers it would be approaching $2000 if no... 
Review: Bybee Technologies Gold SlipStream Purifier Tweak
Hi Rhyno,I have found it very hard to get definite opinions on the bybees in the signal path. I really wanted to try them in my speakers. I spoke to the manufacturer (Avantgarde) and they had little information about the sonic effects.They said th... 
Amps for Avantgarde
Hi Knghifi,thanks for the info. I will try to find and listen to a First watt. I would prefer a balanced input which I think narrows the models down. I like a good solid balanced connection, as long as everything else in the chain is balanced.An i... 
Amps for Avantgarde
Knghifi.I have been looking for something to drive the Trios with for a while. I dont know if you have read any of my previous posts, but I am very happy with the sound I am getting. While I am using modified BC Ref1000 mk2 which would seem overki... 
Amps for Avantgarde
Hi knghifi,how would you describe the F3 sound? I have been wanting to try one on the Trio. 
Esoteric P-03/D-03 or Metronome
Hi Tab110s,I couldnt resist the experiment to give it a listen without the lid. I had seen a few exotic top loading players that had no cover, like the 47 labs, and I always thought it was an odd idea to read light in light. Obviously I only neede... 
BEST RECORDING STUDIO
I agree with Br3098. Gear wise it is horses for courses. If you like a live room or a dry one it makes little difference. You use what you have. I think it is the ability to catch the moment that is the key to all of it. A lame performance capture... 
Esoteric P-03/D-03 or Metronome
What kind of sound are you after?I have only heard the P03/D03 with the clock and it is a very nice player. Quite warm or rich and sounds as solid as its construction. It is lust worthy to look at and use. I have not heard the Metronome in a syste... 
DCS Scarlatti
Bryan,the thing with DCS is it is absolute. There is no sugar coating. I think EMM labs has a warmer presentation, and may be more forgiving of the rest of your system. However if you want the finest source I know of no other that comes close. The... 
BEST RECORDING STUDIO
there is nothing like being in Abbey road. But Mark Knoplers studio called British grove is way up there. It is a joy to work there, and has some of the worlds finest electronics and mics from every era all in pristine condition. The acoustics are... 
DCS Scarlatti
The Scarlatti right now is the finest digital system there is. Bar none. DCS are a fabulous little English company. If I needed another digital system I would not know where to look. There is nothing out there that could better this. 
DCS Scarlatti
The Elgar plus stack in comparison to the scarlatti is a little more grainy and not quite as natural sounding or resolved. Not by a massive margin as the elgar plus is still very good, but played side by side quite obvious. Both have very good res... 
Amps for Avantgarde
Hi Mapan,I had Cl150 monos, VT150 monos,ref 300 monos and many preamps. The 210t is very nice. I have never tried the SS amps though. The VT150s where beautiful. They made music an event. Even if they where not the last word in complete transparen... 
Amps for Avantgarde
Hi mapman,I have spent some time with the big Classe 400 watt monos on B&Ws. They sound very good too. For me (others may feel different) they are similar to a lot of other good amps. Maybe a cross between a Pass labs and a Chord amp.Has anyon... 
Amps for Avantgarde
Most of the amps mentioned already are great sounding amps. The Avantgarde integrated amp is good too. Very musical. I am still looking though. I want an amp with depth and clarity without the cloudiness some hear as warmth. The Halcro DM is proba...
