| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Based on what Al has written it seems that the ARC tube amplifiers may utilize a larger degree of negative feedback (NFB) than the VAC amplifiers. I say this due to the lower output impedance (higher damping factor ) of the ARCs. Depending on ... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Hi Calloway, Well your guys did a very fine job with this time consuming and tedious triple power cable comparison. Based on your findings and factoring cost the Cerious Graphene cable is an astonishing value given that it competes with two excel... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Rinpoche,The "taps" are what you connect the speaker cables to on the rear of the amplifier. They are clearly labeled as 2 ohms,4 ohms, 8 ohms etc. The taps are in plain view. You'll have to listen to the different amplifier tap settings and just... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Hi Calloway I look forward to your comments. Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Clifton,You note that the sound changes based on the fuse direction (as many have also noted). Choose the fuse direction that sounds best to you. As Geoff pointed out that the fuse lettering is done randomly and isn't current flow /direction spec... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi goldencutt,It's good to know that the Black fuses are burning in for you successfully and improving your system's performance. The number of people who have posted their positive listening experiences with the SR Black fuses is really quite rem... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Lak,Wow! You have accumulated a stellar arsenal of power cables in your system. We certainly appreciate you sharing listening impressions with the rest of us. Same is true of Calloway and his contributions. This has been most helpful and informa... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Hi Jmgrogan2,Yep, even used the HFC power cords are still relatively expensive so I am grateful for the much lower cost yet highly recommend SR and Cerious choices. Calloway, the CPT cords have an integral balanced AC transformer which I don’t req... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Knghifi,I agree with you in that there are numerous very good choices available. I'm curious to read how the VAC iq matches with the Sabrinas. Many roads led to Rome. Charles, | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Hello Larry,I sincerely thank you for your time and effort to review these four power cables, it isn’t a simple task. The HFC CT-Ultimate is too expensive for me to consider. It seems clear that the SR Black and Cerious Graphene cords are exceptio... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Inna,It's strictly subjective as to what combination of components someone would prefer to drive these or any speakers. For instance I had a friend's Lamm push-pull tube amplifier in my system and I didn't care for it, my friend agreed. That's ju... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... nayme,You raise some very good points. I can recall the ridicule and skepticism when capacitors were first said to vary in sound quality despite identical specifications. Same ridicule regarding power cords and interconnects. People aren't laugh... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Very stagnant economy the past 10 years with a feeble recovery. Middle class income wages diminishing, true unemployment rate is high. Look at the Labor Dept statistics u6=the full picture, u3 of 5% is misleading and incomplete. Our economy needs ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC rinpoche ,friendly reminder, be sure you are using the appropriate speaker tap (ohms) with your speakers. Charles, | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Yes your summary is fine and there are no problems with your descriptive writing skills, I understand you clearly . Tube preamp with the Rowland could certainly be a very good option. One thing to keep in mind, you can modify the sound of a tube ... |
