| Can Silver Interconnects be bright in your gear I agree with Schubert, good quality silver just reflects the inherent character of your system/components. All silver cables aren't the same, in fact there's a broad range amongst them IMO.My current silver cables are open,resolving and transparen... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The Jupiter has been a very fine addition in my amplifier. I do not believe it is any better than the CAST but it is certainly less costly. Both top level choices. The CAST provided me pure magic in my DAC and speakers, no question. Personally I'd... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve, If both are implemented to a very high level will a linear power supply sound better than a SMPS? Your new DAC is an all out effort so I realize every aspect matters. I know that power supplies are a crucial factor.Best of luck,Charles. | |
| Listening to Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue Practically all of Kenny Burrell's recordings are worth owning, I have quite a few. He's a fabulous jazz guitarist. | |
| Melody AN845 or Audio Space Reference 3.1 or LM There are so many factors involved in the overall sound of an amplifier, it's difficult to pin it down to the output tube alone. I've heard both excellent sounding 300b and 845 SETs and realized I could be happy with either if executed to a high q... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Nice read Rebbi, I look forward to seeing the transformers. You're on your way with this fun project. | |
| Mcintosh mc275 or rogue m150/180 2out2sea, You have a very high quality preamp to build your system around and it deserves a good quality amplifier. Of those mentioned, the Quicksilver V4 is a good candidate. These are very well built, point to point wired and use high quality ou... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Dentdog,I believe you'll be very happy with both of these products. | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Kiddman,I prefer when ever possible the simple alternatives and can appreciate the "concept" of the single driver/ no Xover. However as you point out the reality is a different matter. I'll choose an easy load high efficiency speaker with more dri... | |
| VAC amps and Focal Grand Utopias at $195k a pair Hi Fplanner,For sake of clarification, Jwm's example of someone selling equitment and denying it concerns a friend of his. He wasn't referring to you. I never understand how these situations evolve regarding preferences. It is purely a matter of p... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mk2 or Daedalus Ulysses v2 The Crescendo sounds terrific with the Triode Labs 845 amplifier on the 3 separate occasions I've heard them, pure musical excellence. The Halcro has more power but that is only one factor of many that matter. I'd take my chances with the Triode l... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volley guy I accept the concept that there are many roads to good sound quality. I however agree with you the road I prefer is of one very high-quality amplifier driving a speaker with a simple crossover network that uses few but high quality part... | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Rebbi,I know your blog is in its early stage but I'm enjoying your style already and look forward to more. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Dentdog,I have a BPT unit rather than Equi-Tech but of course the same Balanced AC power concept. IMO I believe that balanced AC power improves every component in an audio system.Charles, | |
| Bel Canto dac 3.5VB vs 47 lab progression gemini Soix,You made some very good points. For all I know the BC could be a superior DAC as your endorsement suggests, I was just responding in a general sense. The idea of very simple circuit with high quality parts/construction is one proven path for ... |
