| Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC Oh,I bought them at the "Parts connecxion", so the Hegel was replaced by the Yamamoto and Raven combo? I imagine that resulted in a different sonic character and presentation. Charles | |
| Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC devilboy, The capacitors are a pretty easy installation for someone handy with a soldering iron. The Duelund CAST are quite large but there's plenty of interior space (the YDA-01 is built with a very low parts count) . Most likely why it sounds so... | |
| Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC Hi devilboy,No Lundahl modification. I just had a local tech replace the stock output coupling caps (which are very good) with the Duelund CAST copper foil capacitors. This was done quite some time ago (6 years or so) and the CAST pair cost abou... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Steve,There was a remote version of the CSL a few years ago. Israel Blume did subsequently discontinued this version. The latest MK II CSL is further evolution and refinement of my original model and I'm sure even better. Given the level of satisf... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Steve,Your comments concerning the Shindo is in a sense surprising in regard to the level of perceived coloration/editorializing it imparted to your system. I do believe the Nenuphars unapologetically reveal all the is placed before them in the s... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure riia,You are right snd BTW I suspect I'd probably like the S.I.T.-1 even more than the highly praised S.I.T-3.Steven Coincident Statement line stage for over 10 years. I appreciate it more than ever. It's superb. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Stephen,Thanks for your latest listening impression of your evolving audio system, your posts/comments are always interesting and fun to read. I would not be surprised if our listening preferences overlapped in the range of 80 % or so. . The ot... | |
| Line Magnetic 518 + Piano, special? dotchaos,Your LM 518 is regarded as a well made and implemented 845 SET amplifier, so your listening impression is not surprising. Pure class A run in a simple signal pathway is going to result in very high quality 'natural' sound. You made a ... | |
| Missing tube integrated for Klipsch Forte III? audition_audio As you wrote, the el34 is a Pentode tube. The 6550 and KT88 ( also the KT 90) aren't true triode tubes but are classified as power beam tetode/pentode. It is true that all of these types of tubes can be 'wired' to triode function. ... | |
| Neutral and open sounding 300B tubes Two variables that must be taken into account are The individual listener’s specific hearing and taste.The specific 300b amplifier design/circuit. Some brands of tubes just match better with certain amplifiers and less so with other amplifiers. No... | |
| Neutral and open sounding 300B tubes Well, my experience is quite different I must say. My Coincident Frankenstein MK II mono block 300b SET has output transformers. Over the years I have had the opportunity to use a wide variety of 300b tubes. ElrogEML XLSEML Mesh plate (a legitimat... | |
| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? Hi kinara, I understand your point regarding the straying away from the original thread inquiry about high gain preamplifiers. I just believe that people were trying to point out that this wasn’t simply an issue of additional ’gain' to solve the ... | |
| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? kinara,murphbass began this thread by explaining in many cases he's been very happy with the sound quality (SQ) of his S.I.T.3 and Maggie pairing. He did however certainly cite that there are some observed shortcomings as well. He wondered if it... | |

| I Think I Am Becoming An Audiophile Artemus_5 I believe that Frank (oregonpapa) is right, music lover more so than audiophile. I’m an unrepentant jazz aficianodo and cut from the same cloth as Frank😀. As my audio system improved over the years I did find myself enjoying other music ... |
