| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Mbovaird,Well you put your money where your mouth is and had both speakers in your system. There's no better test than that. Congratulations! The opportunity to use low power amplifiers is a major bonus, you'll have much enjoyment. It reveals a wh... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ait,The stock Coincident Eclipse speaker is "very" good sounding with the Solen capacitor. It's just notable the considerable improvement provided by the Duelund CAST substitution. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Meant to type implementation not implantation. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Tbg,I get your point in your description. I've attended about 18 to 20 live jazz performances so far this year and many in un microphoned smaller environments. What ever are the intrinsic qualities that allow the ears to immediately recognize "liv... | |
| Don Garber Fi 421A Amp Are you certain that you have given this amplifier enough time to burn in ? Just wondering because this particular Garber amplifier has established a reputation for very good sound and high level musicality. Charles, | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Tboooe,This is a very long thread with hundreds of posts and it's possible that you missed some. I posted well over a year ago that I heard the CT1-E and the CT1-U in my system. The enhanced version was excellent and honestly the ultimate version ... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Tbg,I wouldn't have expected any other result. These two products follow very different principles of vibration/resonance management and the engineering reflects that.Charles, | |
| Cary SLI 80 Signature Upgrade? Macrojack, Nice post with words of wisdom. Chasing perfection often leads to frustration and angst. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers One of the refreshing aspects of this thread is the input from those who have use used both Still Points and the Star Sound Apprentice platforms.I wouldn't underestimate the Audio Points cones, they are very effective and quite affordable. Charles, | |
| DAC Choice in 47Labs CDP system I owned the Metrum Octave DAC for a while and it's good sounding, a high value in its price range. Compared directly to the Yamamoto DAC the Metrum wasn't as satisfying. As Daniel wrote earlier, the Yamamoto is exceptionally natural in tone, dynam... | |
| Best 300B SET Asa,The LM755 field coil speaker with your Air Tight 300b amplifier would seem to be a potentially superb combination. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sal,+1, you summed it up well. I'm glad that the Ocellia cables worked for you as well as they did for me. Charles, | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Roxy,I had V caps(teflon tin foil) in my previous preamp and PP amplifier, they're very good. I've now used Duelund products and like their character even more. Very high resolution and detail yet utterly organic and better tone/body IMO. The Jupi... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Tas and John(Reynolds853),You two clearly understand my point and frame of reference. Salectric, I've always found you comments insightful and worthwhile, but here's the difference. You and I have different missions or objectives. I want to achiev... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I believe Johnk builds speakers. If he and Salectric feel it's necessary to perform multiple A/B testing to be certain that the differences are legitimate, more power to them. Some situations may require that degree of scrutiny, I get that. In my ... |
