Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC
Riced1,You hardly came off as arrogant (quite the contrary ).  Anyone know of a perfect audio product?  If so please share with the rest of us. Charles,  
Redbook Keeps Surprising
Sboje,You don’t have to be confused. As its been mentioned several times in this thread just listen to DACs that interest you and then choose what "you" believes sounds best. Forget R2R vs Delta Sigma debates, just listen and trust your own ears. ... 
I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but
Hi Audioman58,The Coincident Statement Line Stage is as you note utilizes SS rectification.  To the best of my knowledge there are no capacitors in the signal pathway, it uses instead an interstage transformer.  The Line Stage you're describing so...

David,One aspect of jazz I adore  (amongst many ) is the seamless collaborations between the young upstart  and veteran musicians.  Last night I listened to "Seasoned Wood" . This is esteemed elder pianist Cedar Walton with a very young trumpeter ... 
Great Stereophile article on a friend of mine, drummer Billy Drummond
Ctsooner, I'm aware of him through recordings over the years. I haven't the pleasure of a personal meeting. Charles,  
Redbook Keeps Surprising
Hi Jond,,I’ve owned the Yamamoto YDA -01 DAC for nearly 7 years and during that time span I’ve heard multiple numbers of DACs. Be they delta sigma or R2R based. My conclusion confirmed by listening is that there’s considerable overlap between the ...

Thanks very much for posting this ctsooner. I'm a long time jazz fan and attend live jazz venues quite regularly.  Billy Drummond is a pro's pro, truly top notch. Charles,  
What makes an expensive speaker expensive
Hi ohlala, I didn't address ctsooner's comments about paper cone "breakup" as I want to avoid going too far off topic  (which is easy to do ). No matter the driver cone material of choice there's always a hierarchy of quality and performance.  Des... 
What makes an expensive speaker expensive
Hi Ctsooner,We can definitely agree that listening impressions are simply subjective and personal.  In this case Analoguvr posted comments that I could truly relate to. Coincidentally he and I also prefer   SET amplifiers so we certainly hear in a...

David, I agree with you, this has been such an enjoyable thread to participate in. I suspect that the W.E. Replica 300b from Pavane is trying to stay as faithful as possible to the vintage Western Electric character. David I’m not familiar with th... 
Considering buying a CD transport
Terrific price for a used PWT. Charles,  
Jetrexpro's music on YouTube
Hi Jet,I listened to both selections and enjoyed them. You have obvious talent and passion and I'd encourage you to continue down this path, both as composer and player. Charles,  
What makes an expensive speaker expensive
Hi analoguvr,Despite having the privilege to hear speakers that utilize various types of "exotic" materials for their drivers, paper implemented properly is still preferable to many listeners. High quality paper cones sound exceptionally natural. ...

The "Jessica's Blues" I had recommended is very good but I like her "This side Up" even more.  I just listened to it (hadn't played it in a while ) and this is truly some fine piano work. There's so much music available from many talented musician...
