| Has anyone compared Rogue RP-7 to Cary SLP05 and / or Audio Research Ref 5se? @testrun As I stated I'd lean more toward the Cary SLP-05. Since you are entertaining other options I suggest to also consider the Atma-Sphere preamplifiers (Do you have a particular budget range?).The MP-1 is superb in my opinion. this or the S... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Fwiw, I think it's great to have multiple really good options, and impressions from people regarding what they've found to work well in the different approaches. Good discussion, imo. Agree 100% Always good to learn and appreciate how various ... | |
| Has anyone compared Rogue RP-7 to Cary SLP05 and / or Audio Research Ref 5se? Audio Research is an iconic brand and has a legion of fans that has been earned over the course of time. You certainly could not go wrong with the REF 5SE. I will note that many consider the Cary SLP-05 to be a true classic tube line stage for all... | |
| Comparison: 2 Sony ES CD players vs Primare d30.2 BTW I am not doubting the 5400 is a great player, but the 20ES is a fraction of the cost and I have always been into budget gear for a steal of a price. Sometimes these large corporations will actually utilize their considerable engineering tal... | |
| SET suggestions up to $3k (used) @dhcod If your speakers are legitimately 96 dB sensitivity or close that is a good start. Equally important (Arguably more so) how easily driven are they? I’m referring to load impedance characteristics/phase angles. This aspect has a significan... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @desalvo55 Congratulations on those who own both the Jay’s and the Project not to mention the CEC’s. Let’s give those shiny discs a workout! Yep, those shinny discs can sound superb with a high quality CD transport. Pro-Ject has their own pro... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi @cal3713 Your explanation and reasoning is exactly what prompted my curiosity. Yes, no question that the Cube Audio bass system is more expensive and surely well thought out and implemented . Yet one has to acknowledge the pure application ... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @bobheinatz The CD transport is your source component as it preceeds the DAC in your signal chain. There are those who will say any decent CD player/transport will be fine as it’s only about the 1s and 0s. I vehemently disagree with this shallow... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure It would make such an interesting comparison, Audio kinesisis swarm and Cube Audio's own well thought out subwoofer product. For those who seek Nenuphar bass augmentation I strongly suspect that either would be excellent choices. Given my taste ... | |
| Vladimir Lamm RIP @whart Vlad Lamm was a significant force in designing and building; and was a class act in all my encounters with him. He leaves us a world a little less filled with his particular genius, and a legacy that I hope is long lasting. I appreci... | |
| Preamp help please! @dekay Years ago I ran Reynaud Twins MKII with an Audion 300B amp (great system) and would like to get back to something like that, but with SS. I can appreciate the desire to achieve this type of sound presentation with transistor components... | |
| Preamp help please! @sns I can only say my setup with Khorns, 300b or 845 SET's and Statement doesn't lack a single bit in traits you're seeking I am very familiar with the 6SN7 tube and like it a lot, however it is simply has quite a different sonic signature fr... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @sns Touche! Listening to music is an emotionally pleasurable experience. I'm very grateful to be able to recognize and appreciate that it is truly a gift to mankind to enjoy. There is a music genre for every cultural and individual taste. Ch... | |
| Preamp help please! the Psvane W.E. Replica 101D are a substantial upgrade in sound quality compared to the entry level standard Shuguang 101D in my Statement line stage. Others have reported excellent sound quality the Linlai 101D tubes. If the original NOS W.E. ar... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @sns At least some s also know why I and others like what they like. We're very aware of every issue o brings up, the difference between s and o is what we value. In the end whatever gets you off is fine with me. Beautifully put in a nutshell... |
