| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. Hello gary9413 ,You have assembled a very nice and well thought out system. I believe choosing the Spring DAC level 3(upgrade capacitors and transformer) was a good decision. I sincerely believe that opting for the highest quality transformer/c... | |
| PS Audio CD Memory Transport?? Yes Or NO Hello Dylan fan,I'm happy to read that you're very pleased with the PWT although it doesn't surprise me. The PWT is a top tier transport and an asset to any high quality audio system. Congratulations!Charles, | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Hi Larryi,I have not heard these Swedish amplifiers. A friend of mine heard the original version of them at their debut during CES 2009. He said they were èxtraordinarily transparent and utterly natural. He was very impressed with their presentati... | |
| Mellow speakers sbank, ,Your preamplifier swap is a wise suggestion. | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Hi essrand,I use the Coincident Statement Line Stage matched with the Frankenstein amplifier and this combination has been a sublime experience the past 7 years. I look forward to reading your listening impressiion with the Truth line stage paired... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. I'd enjoy the opportunity of directly comparing their level 3 Spring DAC with my organic sounding Yamamoto DAC. I had the Metrum Octave DAC (R2R/multi bit chip concept)a few years ago. It was in fact very good but head to head I preferred the ... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. Ahendler,You raise a good point regarding DSD. If the implementation of this DAC is high level it could be excellent for Redbook CD playback. Charles, | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. This looks like a very good designed and implemented product. Their level 3 version could be quite special. It offers upgraded Jensen capacitors in the power supply and a silver wired 100VA transformer (green label). No question that higher qualit... | |
| Single driver loudspeakers Rlawry,I find it interesting that you achieved satisfying treble performance with the 12 inch single driver. Thus my question to johnk regarding the PHY-HP 12 inch. It’s possible he may not be familiar with them. Charles, | |
| PS Audio CD Memory Transport?? Yes Or NO I use the Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC. I've also heard the PWT with a friend's Aesthetic Pandora and Bricasti SE DACS. It is terrific sounding with any good quality DAC in my opinion. | |
| PS Audio CD Memory Transport?? Yes Or NO Dylan fan,I’ve owned mine for 6 years. It is good straight out of the shipping but improves noticeably with additional hours of use. I think that it’s a wonderful CD transport. Congratulations to you!Charles, | |
| RVG RIP Orpheus10,Thanks for sharing that story. Ruby definitely produced a distinct sound for the various labels he worked with. Blue Note, Impulse and Prestige were quite different from one another even though he used the same recording equipment. SQ wi... | |
| PS Audio CD Memory Transport?? Yes Or NO Dylan fan,Let us know your listening impressions of the PWT. | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Hello,I happen to agree with your comments. This is why I often state that you actually have to listen to a component/system to get to the truth. Otherwise it’s far too easy for preformed opinion to be presented as fact. I have 94 dB sensitivity/ ... | |
