| 300b lovers @lynn_olson It’s a dumb truism in audio, but simpler usually does sound better. Not that I’m a fan of 2-stage amplifiers or full-range drivers ... there’s such a thing as too simple. Every designer has to find the balance point between simpli... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy Hi David, thanks for sharing this reply from Pro-Ject. I hope that they respond to your pertinent follow up question. I have to say that I have not experienced any of the numerous problems they detailed. My RS2T has been silent while ope... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy Meanwhile, I've been sending emails to Pro-Ject's parent company, Audiotuning, asking how the CD Box re-design is going David, What type of feedback have you received thus far? Charles | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? @inna If he really prefers his class D amps to tube amps then he fools himself. In any case, he is on this forum for business purposes, whatever he says - remember that For my listening needs high quality tube amplification (Low-moderate... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? @inna He does not prefer his class D to his and many others tube amps. He won’t fool me. You may be wrong with that comment. I believe Ralph has stated that he is using his new GaN class D amplifiers as his main/primary choice. Also if I am... | |
| Balanced Power Technology BPT3.5 running very hot No it isn't normal. As has been stated by several posters here, it remains cool to the touch even when on 24/7. Charles | |
| Balanced Power Technology BPT3.5 running very hot I have no doubt that the music sounds good given the utilization of balanced AC power. Running hot as you describe is definitely indicative of a problem. Yes, try it without the power plant connection. Charles | |
| Balanced Power Technology BPT3.5 running very hot @gte357s No, this is not normal for this unit. In December 2008 I purchased a new BPT 3,5 Signature +. It has been in continuous 24/7 use all of these years without a single problem or issue. It doesn’t even get warm to the touch. So yes, some... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy I still have the CD6SE (On loan from a friend). I’m really impressed with the air between and around instruments. Listening to John Coltrane’s solos on "Blue in Green" from Kind of Blue, the CD6SE allows you to hear the resonance/ec... | |
| 300b lovers @tuckia08 EML 300b XLS - Pretty good. Not as nuanced as the best. Depth and width OK, but not the best. Good low end drive. Much better than everything listed above. Takatsuki - Excellent tube. Best bass drive. Good Detail. Depth and inner... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @pindac Thst was a very insightful comparison of the new TEAC 701 transport. I have no doubt that it has excellent sound quality. They have been at this for quite some time and clearly know what they are doing. @wharfy (David) it will be most i... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing Hi David, https://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/jackie-mclean-and-lee-morgan-the-dynamic-hardbop-duo/ I bought “Consequence “ probably 25 years ago. They’re good playing together. Charles | |
| Aric Audio @ozzy62 Sorry I have not received them. Charles | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing I would agree with your assessments of Vermeer and Sargent. You have a good eye! David, you are a kind gentleman .😊 Lee Morgan and Jackie McLean did some collaborations on the early 1960s “Blue Note”. However knowing you it’s likely you are p... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing David, I have returned to look at those pictures of art several times now. The Vermeer painting is more detailed, vivid and nuanced. The Singer Sargent is also appealing but more subtle and suggestive of mood perhaps. Hey, I’m no art critic for s... |
