| Duelund cast Pio Hybrid Copper/Silver or Rs series with Silver Bypass PIO Zipost, I use the Duelund CAST copper capacitors in my Coincident speakers at the tweeter crossover and as output capacitors in my Yamamoto YDA DAC with superb results. I'm thoroughly satisfied with these upgrades. From what I have read from those... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The dialogue exchange on this thread continues to be educational and certainly interesting. Teajay said that the Tekton Double Impacts are a true conduit and I believe the same would be true regarding the Ulfberths. This leads me to believe that t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Teajay,Thanks. I’ve used both of those tubes in my amplifier and thought the Sophia Royal Princess was very good sounding. I like the EML XLS and Takatsuki even more with direct comparison. I’m pretty certain that the particular amplifier in use... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Baranyl,Thanks for your additional listening impressions. If the Canary 300b SET is anything like my Coincident amplifier the choice of 300b tube has a substantial effect on the sound quality and character. What tube was teajay using?He used a ver... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello facten, No I haven’t. I know several people whose hearing and listening impressions are simply rock solid and they’ve told me that the Canary 300b amplifer offerings are something special. Right in line with what Terry wrote earlier, "music ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Mac, You're probably aware of this point but I'll state it anyway 😊. If you go with the Triode Labs amplifier get the best output transformer option that you can comfortably afford. They offer very nice choices for this critical part.Charles | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Hi jond, I've yet to come across a disappointing sound K2 CD. They are exceptionally good based on my exposure. The few RVG recordings I've heard were very good sounding as well. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Teajay, As someone who has had the good fortune to hear many varieties of power amplifiers over the years I must compliment you on your comments above. In all candor we probably hear in a very similar manner just as we have quite similar taste ... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Jkull,Granted this is just my opinion but I don't believe that you are missing much at all by not having DSD. What limited listening exposure I've had didn't match the preceding hype. I believe that the Redbook medium is/ can be genuinely excelle... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Hi jkull,It appears to me that since your acquisition of the Line Magnetic 219ia your system has taken a sharp turn toward naturalness and realism. No doubt that this change in your digital source takes you further down that road. I don't believe... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello Kenny, Congratulations on acquiring the MZ2. I look forward to your listening impressions of the MZ2 as an amplifier and as a line stage mated to both the push pull and SET amplifiers. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Twoch, Regarding your comment about the Wilson Sophia 1 and the Tekton DI, is it based on listening comparisons or an assumption based on the cost of these two speakers ?Charles | |
| $10k DAC in a 3k system? Hello shadome,Yes, in this specific situation I wouldn’t match a 10 K DAC with the 3K system if that were my ceiling for a spending budget. In this case I’d spread the money around in an attempt to achieve more of a system balance. On the other ha... | |
| $10k DAC in a 3k system? Dragon_vibe, Yes, my comments were precisely based on listening experiences of many different audio systems over the years. I must respectfully disagree with shadome’s post. I don’t believe that you can accurately apply a rigid cost ratio amongst ... | |
| $10k DAC in a 3k system? Hi Larry,That listening experience you described is a good example of favorable sound quality/cost ratio. Some modestly priced audio components are well engineered/implemented and are capable of preserving the audio signal from a high quality sou... |
