| Bel Canto dac 3.5VB vs 47 lab progression gemini Hindu108, The minimalist design if well executed is a major reason for high quality sound. Pure and natural sound from a simple circuit with fewer parts(but of good quality). This approach stands the test of time. You "may" not find the Bel Canto ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Smctique1 say at 80 db the Decware began to have problems. Brownsfan said the Dynamo was good up to about 90-92 db, that's quite a difference using the same speaker. Anyway both of these amplifiers will certainly have their loyal supporters. The D... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Smctique1, I wouldn't be surprised if the Decware's disappointing performance is output transformer related. What you described can be traced to that and a less than robust power supply. Brownsfan didn't have this problem with the Dynamo driving t... | |
| Tube amplifier to power Sonus Faber speakers? I certainly relate to the preference for Tube amplifiers but you must have the proper speaker for a good match. Some speakers simply require SS based on their design load characteristics . The 300b is a wonderful tube but not with all speakers. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Salectric,That is a well stated reply and I agree with your perspective . As Bill said I'd like to compare both approaches directly. I don't believe active Xovers inherently superior to a good quality simple passive one. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Jordan,Smart move using the Equi tech for your entire system I use a BPT 3.5 Signature Plus product in the same manner in my system. Balanced AC power is an absolute asset based on my listening experience. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob,Yes, nice call on all 3 games yesterday. Green Bay vs New England this sunday, I'm going New England. Aaron Rogers has been on fire but Brady is as good and the Patriots are a better team overall. Yes I know the Packers are the home team. ... | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? Having use both types in my system I chose solid core silver cables. subjective of course and opinions will vary among listeners. When high quality silver is implemented properly it sounds organic and beautiful. I find It has natural warmth, tonal... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob,Good call, the Eagle defense was dominant and set the tone for this game. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,I thought everyone loved football LOL(part of my early culture).Mikirob, the Eagles are good and explosive. I'm a big believer in good offensive lines and running the ball, thus Dallas for me. Rebbi Grant Fidelity is good and I have purchase... | |
| Stereo power amp for $10k Tjassoc,You make a very compelling case for buying the Pass XA-30.8 for this scenario, very logical. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,Brian sounds like a fair and reasonable person. If the budget is tight currently that's understood. It certainly isn't a life or death matter to get all upgrades at once, there's plenty of time. The point is that you're starting with a very ... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Jordan,Your impressions once again support the idea that "no" component is perfect or always the best choice. There are simply too many variables and specific circumstances to account for. I have no doubt that your Melody 268 is excellent. Room... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hi Roxy54,No question that just those two changes(capacitors and volume control) improved your already fine SET amplifier. It's refreshing that Brian is open to the idea of using higher quality parts for his amplifiers. Roxy I'm certain that your ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Roxy54,I googled the Khozmo attenuator and I suspect it's much better than the standard Alps volume control. |
