| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Rob and Bill (Brownsfan),I agree with you regarding the direction of current High End audio sensibilities. Something has gotten off track along the way, the prevalent idea of "neutrality and accuracy" is the goal. The use of these terms suggest a ... | |
| Would adding a pre back into the system eliminate Jerryaudio,What you describe is the fundamental crux(dilemma) of this recurrent topic.The fullness, substance, body, dynamics and tonal density (flesh on the bone) aspects that many listeners cite with the addition of an active preamp.Either you'l... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Andrew, Are you having noise issues with DHTs? Honestly my DHT Line Stage and amplifier are about as quiet as one could want.Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Bill,I hope you do. I'm convinced that the decision to have the tubes match an amplifier's operating parameters is a correct one. My replacement Elrogs are sounding splendid. Listening right now and it's heavenly. Only time will tell regarding ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I'm interested to see if Matt's listening impressions matches Wisnon's enthusiasm for the wireless Goldmund sound quality. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Rob,Looking forward to reading your listening impression of the Arizona capacitors in place of the teflon Solens. I suspect that they will sound wonderful and your Dynamo will sing even more.Charles, | |
| Would adding a pre back into the system eliminate Jerryaudio,Cdrc suggestion is the best course of action, direct comparison. As you're probably aware, this is an often covered topic(check the site's archives for proof). You'll find many advocates of either of these two approaches. Listen and dec... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Tbg,A friend of mine and who's opinion I've found very trustworthy over many years and listening encounters said the same concerning Goldmund. He finds them precise in an analytical/clinical manner. No organic character, soul or emotion stimulatin... | |
| Tube buffers? Mechans,You aren't alone in your opinion. I've found more of what tubes provide dependent on the amplifier compared to the preamp. If I had "suitable" speakers I'd choose SS pre/tube amp over tube pre/SS amp. I realize this goes against popular wi... | |
| Any comments on DAC directly to Power amp with no Good points George! I can't see the Opamp solution being ideal for sound quality. A genuine differential balanced circuit would seem a better choice if someone is seeking true balance components. Still not a sure guarantee it will necessarily soun... | |
| Any comments on DAC directly to Power amp with no Thanks George,I'm interested in Hgeifman's listening impressions as I suspect that both methods can sound quite good but certainly different. I happen to agree with you in regards to balanced compared to single end RCA. The simpler RCA usually sou... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre I don't know what particular "spikes" Art was referencing. Over the years I've use a variety of spikes and cones. The brass Audio Points were in a different class of sound quality, just plain better. I believe that the quality of material, manufac... | |
| Any comments on DAC directly to Power amp with no Hgeifman,What preamp do you plan to use? My understanding is that the Bricasti M1 has a preamp section/output that's likely to be of high quality. You'll need to choose a high quality active preamp for this comparison. Charles, | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Seems the Trenner Friedl distributor is being upfront and honest. When I heard the TF Ra box it was uniquely different sounding from virtually every other speaker I heard at the show in similar rooms. If their ISIS shares a house sound it will be ... | |
| Audiophile Fuses Sns,Nice situation you have by owning two well regarded 845 amplifiers. I replaced the stock Solens input coupling cap in my Frankenstein with the Jupiter copper foil. It is a worthwhile improvement but not a "night/day" difference. Cost effective... |
