| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @desalvo55 I don’t blame you for your frustration given the excessive wait time. I ordered my Pro-Ject CD BOX RS2 transport in early November and it was delivered in 2 weeks. As I’ve posted before it is stunningly good sounding in my audio syste... | |
| Upgraded McCormack DNA-1 or Dennis Had Inspire SEP? @jsbw My new Dennis Had Inspire arrived today.Holy SH!T this was the absolute right choice Congratulations and welcome to the wonderful sounding genre of low power tube amplifiers. Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @rwpollock I am in the camp of keeping what you currently have. Virtually everything in audio is a trade off to some degree no matter how small. You get another amplifier that gives you more of “this” but then loses some of “that”. The Audio N... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @rwpollock I had first generation Elrogs a few years ago that were exceptionally good sounding but unfortunately unreliable. That's all been resolved now. The current production versions you have are likely an improvement In sound so they are s... | |
| Cayin A-300b vs Muzishare x9 @cb3489 finally upgraded all tubes on X9 :) i got PSVANE Acme 300b and PSVANE 274B Tii. Using Tektons perfect set 15s. The sound is really good. It improved amazingly. Huge bass sound level and more noticeable details Congratulations on your s... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @rwpollock I can't imagine how you could not be happy with either of those amplifiers driving the Nenuphars. What brand 300b are you using in the Aric Audio SET? Charles | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC It seems that some are confusing "over sampling" with "upsampling". They are entirely different processes. A NOS (Non over sampling) DAC can still be designed to "upsample". @sns I look forward to your listening comparison of good quality ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm But advocates of upsampling claim that even the finest mastered 16/44 files can have their SQ enhanced even more. HQPlayer, for one, has built a business on that proposition. Yes I'm very aware of those who hold this opinion (And those... | |
| Audio Research Ref 75 SE: Replace 20A IEC inlet with 15A The AC power source for the Reference 75 SE amplifier should be capable of supplying 10 amperes for 100 or 120 volt units, @eugene81 Thanks, So it was done due to subjective listening which I completely understand. I just couldn’t envision a... | |
| Audio Research Ref 75 SE: Replace 20A IEC inlet with 15A @eugene81 Well, turns out changing the 15A female connector on my power cord is even easier. No heat shrink, all screw crimped to 3 conductors, so I will be buying a 20A female connector and changing it myself. Case closed Fully resolved out... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @phastm3 By all indications I'm familiar with the Grimm MU1 and Antipodes are upper tier excellent sounding music servers. The issue I see with the Grimm MU1 is lack of USB . The Musetec 005 seems definitely "optimised" for USB connectivity. S... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns The original recording and mastering are by far the most substantial variable for sound quality. Remastering can help, but you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear. I'd also suggest unless original recording done his res the differen... | |
| Audio Research REF 80S Reviews/Comparisons @fsonicsmith Congratulations! I have no doubt that the Audio Research REF 80S is going to please you greatly and provide splendid music listening joy for many years. Glad to know that ARC has replaced the protective resistors with fuses in their... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns Early marketing of cd format as 'perfect sound forever' was thought of as laughable for decades. Respect for 16/44 continues to grow over time, not so laughable today, and many moving to digital only systems. Yep! 16/44 Redbook format i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @steakster This is a great thread. Sharing info about exciting new gear. Agreed. BTW I'm familiar with the Concert Fidelity DAC and have actually listened to It. It is very good sounding. Very organic/natural presentation with terrific music... |
