Duelund DCA16GA
Geoch, Wonderful logic and wisdom. The mere idea that the Duelund cable is worthy of genuine comparison with the profoundly more expensive HFC is confirmation of the Duelund’s extraordinary value and quality. Charles

You are certainly taking the path of superb quality. Charles

French reviewer Joel Chevassus  I believe introduced the Totaldac to the public with his 6 Moons review a few years ago. He did an Audiophile-magazine. com review comparison of the Swiss Nagra Jazz and Canadian Coincident Statement Line Stages.  H...

With a source of the Totaldac d1Twelve’s quality, that’s an excellent start for the signal pathway. I can vouch for the VAC Signature preamplifier. A good friend owned it for 4 years and I heard it over hundreds of hours during that period. It is ...

Tomcy6,Good point in regard to long term listening and living with a component. A short term home audition is useful and beats no opprotuhnity to audition. Thieliste can achieve some degree of valuable insight with the Aelius paired with his Thiel...

Hi Nyame,The comparison to the my turntable's attributes was with the Yamamoto DAC which was so Intrinsically organic.  The addition of a 300b SET amplifier is the "single"  most significant and impactful change to my system. I will say that the D...

Nyame,I understand your assumption. Many SET amplifier aficionados are also  analog source users as well. I was in fact a hard core turntable user/advocate for many years. I discovered a relatively obscure Japanese DAC (Yamamoto YDA-1) that convey... 
PS PWT transport vs Esoteric P05 etc
You can't go wrong with either for high quality CD playback. The PWT is superb in my opinion. High resolution,transparent and yet organic and exceptionally musically engaging.Charles

Hello nyame,Thank you for such a kind and thoughtful offer, I sincerely appreciate that. These days I'm exclusively Redbook CD. I must say that over the years I've have such very kind offers/loans/favors from fellow audiogon friends. For example F...

John,I'll give Urban Meyer the benefit of doubt, sometimes very talented teams/players just have a bad game. Clemson's overall team speed will be fun to watch against the mighty Bama. Lots of future NFL talent in this battle.Charles

Same motive with me Thieliste. Your thread caught my attention due to your interest in Ypsilon components. Every time I've heard them they have delivered truly wonderful and natural sound. I'm curious to read how your home audition with the Aelius...

Just to be plainly clear to all, I intend no contentious element at all. Hopefully a friendly and interesting debate regarding the various experiences of happy Thiel owners who have success with various power amplifiers.Charles

Teeshot's post is no more or less relevant than Dave's post, both are based on actual  owner experience. The  significance of Dave's comments is he had both amps on the same speaker and got the results he did. The point is one must listen when eve...

Clemson appears to have the athletic caliber to push Bama, we’ll soon find out. Their defensive front seven is no doubt impressive! The offense is definitely very explosive. You rarely see Ohio State get handled in that fashion, completely dominat...

Hi Dave,Your experience with the Classe compared to your higher power Krell is not very surprising to me. In theory the massive Krell should have outperformed the Classe amplifier with the Thiels, it did not. There’s theory and then there’s actual...
