| More Tubes = Better Sound Rcprince,I agree with your general premise. Assuming equal quality of built and implementation I'd take the lower power amplifier with fewer parts, less circuitry and devices. I do believe that they will most often sound better with an appropriate... | |
| Canary M-500 Monos- which 300B tube- Bopper,Keep in mind that EML makes a standard 300b, a mesh plate 300b and the XLS version 300b. I haven't heard the standard 300b but I understand that it is very good. I can personally vouch for the Mesh and XLS versions. The EML aren't inexpensi... | |
| Canary M-500 Monos- which 300B tube- Bopper,I've used all three of the tubes you listed in my amplifier but have no experience with your Canary. The EML XLS and the Sophia RP are much superior to the EH 300b in my SET amplifier.The EH could be a better match in your particular push p... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, A big attraction to your thread is the honesty, don't change that, continue to call it as you hear it. A friend of mine who has heard many DACs described the EmmLabs just as you, he didn't care for it. Everyone has an opinion about something... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Hi O holter, What i took from your comparision was the Einstein was providing sonic information that the IO alone did not. Those specific qualities you attribiute to the Einstein's insertion were benetficial(necessary?) to draw more emotion and co... | |
| Review Stillpoints Ultra Mini Regarding appearance, with components on the Apprentice I'd say 90% of the platform is hidden from view(about all you can see are the brass cones). As Tbg noted they are exceptionally effective.Charles, | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere "The whole thing feels right, bass, vocal and everything is more filled out everything working better together". Based on that description it seems that the preamp is providing "more" not less information. The direct route appears to be omitting s... | |
| 6 new Totem Hawks vs Used Wilson set-up ? I wouldn't assume that the Wilson is a better speaker based on its higher cost ans very recognizable name. Some listeners love them and others dislike their sound. If at all possible you need to hear them in your system. The cliche "you get what y... | |
| Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter Thanks,You've satisfied my curiosity regarding your opinion of two stellar DACs. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Pokey77,You are right, pleasing everyone is impossible and a fruitless endeavor. 5 different listeners with the same array of DACs would likely result in 5 lists, all with varying top to bottom rankings. Matt I appreciate your time and considerabl... | |
| Top brand speakers Hello Bo,Why do you feel it necessary to insult those who disagree with your perspective? And why make derogatory comments on the system/components owned by other thread participants? This is a good site for discussion, exchanging information, kno... | |
| Need advice on a tube line stage Hi Ja2austintx, I hope you follow George's suggestion to try that passive. I think your Modwright with well chosen tubes is a good decision on your part. As with Response34 I'm genuinely interested in your comparison. My hunch is the Modwright is ... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Hello Al,Larry, Bill and myself all fully appreciate the point Mapman was making and it was a very sound one at that. Idealy you'd think it's possible to get the very best sound in an audio system without resorting to an active peeamp with its"add... | |
| Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter Hello Branislav,Are you continuing to compare/evaluate (fully burned in now) the two superb DACs? Do you ultimately prefer one, or are they equals performers but with different presentations? I would imagine both DACs are quite special. Charles, | |
