| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 Mapman, That’s the point, Gawbless wasn’t challenging the laws of physics or implying the speaker has no limitations (all speakers do). He simply wrote that they sound good. Of course reviewers offer opinion (just as you, I and everyone else) no d... | |
| Viva, no longer a fan If you don't want to consider Viva High End that's your call. They are wonderful amplifiers with excellent built quality. One of the best sounding amplifiers I've heard. Charles, | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia Migueca, No doubt that those are two exceptional sounding amplifiers and it will purely be a matter of taste as to choice. What speakers were being driven?Charles, | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 Erik,I agree with your logic. All Gawbless said is these Boenickes were really quite good and impressed him more than some larger and more expensive speakers under show conditions. He never said they're the speakers he's ever heard. Let's have pe... | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 This is why I agree with the 6 Moons reviewer regarding preconceived notions. I just believe that you have to listen to a product before you can form any "meaningful "opinion. That's just me. Charles, | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia Facten,I don’t doubt that at all. Some amplifiers can dramatically be improved with the substitution of better quality tubes. I suspect that the LM 219ia upgrades the parts quality, transformers and power supply in addition to the 300b as the driv... | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 Regarding Zu speakers I greatly respect the opinions of several folks who post on Audiogon and happen to be Zu owners. I've heard various Zu speakers a total of 5 times and each encounter was disappointing (CES and RMAF venues). Perhaps they don'... | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 Hi Gawbless, Professional review of the Boenicke W5 do concur with your listening impressions. Interestingly The 6 Moons reviewer notes that some audiophiles will dismiss the speaker outright due to the cost and small size. À big mistake he said, ... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia Roxy,You comments about the Devore Orangutan O/96 are astute. I heard this speaker at RMAF in 2011. I thought overall it was pretty good but the sound did seem to remain in the speaker vicinity somewhat. Granted this was under show conditions and ... | |
| Another Discrete R2R Multibit Dac that can do DSD, again from the land of the Great Wall Thanks for your informed response George, I appreciate it. My DAC takes the approach of a single resistor for I/V conversation. It is but only one of several suitable methods but it surely sounds very good as implemented. I will read the thread y... | |
| Another Discrete R2R Multibit Dac that can do DSD, again from the land of the Great Wall George I'm curious, what would be your preferred method of I/V and output stage circuit if you were to design a DAC? Charles, | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia Hi Roxy54,Thanks for posting your listening impressions of the Line Magnetic 845 SET amplifiers. I know the high admiration you have for your Audio Note. If the LM 219ia impressed to the degree you express it must be quite special.Charles | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. It's difficult to say that one DAC is unquestionably superior to another competitor. No doubt the Schiit is very good but better than the Holo Spring DAC level 3? Also consider the Lampizator Atlantic, excellent according to those who have heard ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Nyame.What components did you use these two power cords on in your system?Charles, | |
