| Tonality of Jay's Transport? @mosler666 What Esoteric unit are you currently using? Some have described this brand's digital components sonic signature as leaning toward analytical and sterile while others say this is simply transparency and neutrality. Different opinions ... | |
| Tonality of Jay's Transport? @jaymark One person's preference no matter how informed will not be uniformly preferred by other listeners. So I can offer my opinion but would not fall on a sword defending it. Well put and agree 100%. @stuartk I believe that you'll be th... | |

| Audio Note Power Amps I believe that the likelihood of sonic success pairing the Supratek DHT preamplifier and the Yamamoto power amplifier is very high. In addition it in my opinion is quite cost effective given the sound quality I believe that will be achieved. Cha... | |
| Does measurements really matter? @ghdprentice . A real basic principle of high audio… glance at the specs…. Then listen, listen, listen. Excellent summation. Charles | |
| Any feedback on Sam Laufer’s Memory Player? @glory I am very sorry for your wife's recent diagnosis. You both have my deepest sympathy and I wish your wife the very best. Modern medicine is capable of astonishing outcomes. Keep the faith. Charles | |
| Will DAC always sound better going straight into a Power Amplifier? @larsman The word ’always’ is often good to avoid, but from my experience, it ain’t necessarily so. I had an MSB ’Analog DAC’/volume control going directly into my MSB power amp and the sound was superb. I later got a Herron Audio tube preamp a... | |
| Will DAC always sound better going straight into a Power Amplifier? It seems that the Lampizator Pacific has an onboard preamplifier section. It has DHT tubes providing high voltage via the analog output stage and has a DHT tube cathode follower. so running through a separate preamp is essentially "double" preamps... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box DS3 "Redbook" Player Their best advice is to save up the pennies and not be in a hurry. @nonoise Honestly that is wise advice unless you're in a relative hurry to get another transport. I'm convinced that you'd love and appreciate the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 trans... | |
| Will DAC always sound better going straight into a Power Amplifier? I like the above post that says " I will keep the magic with my preamp +1 In my opinion a high quality preamplifier is paramount to achieving the very best sound /music reproduction from an audio system . Emphasis on "quality " | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @v10 Very nice and tidy. Well done! Charles | |
| Audio Note Power Amps The Yamamoto is very good but I don't know if it, or any mid-range AN amp, can outperform your SIT-2. Undoubtedly a case by case scenario dependent on the specific listener and their sonic preferences and audio system make up. Could easily tilt... | |
| Audio Note Power Amps The Yamamoto is very close to all of that, yet it also communicates a rich soul that kept —and keeps— me listening to music. So vitally important and completely understood. You can't objectively measure how this is so, yet undeniably present i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm Once again I appreciate your point of view and I do understand your perspective. One thing that I’ve come to recognize is defining what one’s objective and goals are must be thoroughly sorted out. IOW know what you want. Merason opted to f... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @v10 I'm not surprised with your outcome. NAT audio has earned an esteemed reputation as one of the better sounding amplifier manufacturers out of eastern Europe. 50 watts class A from a gm 70 is a lot of power for the Nenuphars. Do you utiliz... |
