| Tube Preamp for around 2K? Hello Inna,Yes, I understand your point of view. It seems that in the opinion of some veteran reviewers such as Jim Merod (PFO) Jeff Dorgay (Tone) and Dick Olsher the Primaluna Dialogue Premium offers legitimate high end sound quality similar to... | |
| Tube Preamp for around 2K? Inna,I'm not so sure about that. The Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamplifier has garnered enough word of mouth (oowners) and professional reviews to possibly counter your assertion. The Don Sachs SP14 is another example that may also go counter... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... A couple of friends had their Sony and Oppo units modified by ModWright and the outcome was substantial improvement of the sound quality across the entire sonic spectrum. If the Sony HAPZ1 is similarly improved then I would say it's money well spe... | |
| Cary SLP-05 pre + Krell 302e/402e sound? Should I consider a different power amp? Al, I got the Cary specifications directly from their site. You’d think they could provide reliable information on standard measurements that are easy to verify. This doesn’t help potential buyers interested in their products. How hard can it be t... | |
| Cary SLP-05 pre + Krell 302e/402e sound? Should I consider a different power amp? The Krell has an input impedance of 100k ohms S.E, 200k balanced. The Cary SLP 05 output impedance is 400 ohms. The Cary has a high gain level of 17 db RCA and 24 db via XLR.Good luck, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Yes, topics other than the fuses have been freely and enjoyably discussed here.Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Les, The voltage rating of the fuse is a non issue in the USA. I'm happy that you are having such success with the Black fuses. Asia, Europe and North America, this thread has reached far and wide. | |
| Your first component that was "special" Coincident Frankenstein MK II SET amplifier. Despite the really fine power amplifiers I’d previously owned, the Frankenstein was a profound step upwards in home music reproduction and involvement. A true "breath of life " experience. Charles, | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? I don't understand how you conclude that the F32 is the more "neutral" speaker when you've identified it as sounding hard, thin and sterile. That doesn't fit the definition on neutral. Rather it would seem that the F32 has glaring inherent sonic ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Psickerson, There’s no better comparison between products than having both in your system side by side. I do recognize that all rendered opinions are subjective and only reflect individual taste. No question some will choose the Yggy rather than t... | |
| Preamp purchase: Thoughts on buying TRL Dude OR Cary SLP-05 Hello Scott,You still miss the Cary SLP-5 even though you currently have a Pure Sound L 300?Charles, | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? Maplegrovemusic,Yes I would find it hard to believe that a speaker would be intentionally designed to sound as described. On an open forum we can only respond to the information provided. If the OP has determined the speaker is the weak link then ... | |
| Viva, no longer a fan Hi Knghifi,Nice system! Since he is a non audiophile did you advise/guide him to these components? Just curious as to how he'd be aware of this market genre. Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hello David,I used the Takatsuki for 3 years in my SET amplifier and know quite well their excellence! Have a ball at the RMAF. OK it's time for Michigan Wolverine football 😊. Charles, | |
| Viva, no longer a fan Knghifi,Add Shindo to that list. I'm curious, how did a "non audiophile " end up with such a niche product as Viva? Your friend has very good taste 😊. Charles, |
