| Are all asynchronous USB inputs similar? Onhwy61,The USB dominance is not debatable and the Baetis Audio designer openly concedes this fact. His position is it not the best sounding and he simply offers an alternative he believes is superior in sound quality. That's it really, he doesn't... | |
| Source Components, Genuinely Need Your Assistance Hi Shawn,That's really good the direction your sound is taking, patience Is a virtue. Depending on one's system, any component can be the weak link and a change there can be dramatic. Not knowing your system, advice and recommendations are specula... | |
| Pass First Watt models ... confused Al,You're right about the limitations and the need to have appropriate speakers to get the most from these amplifiers. The 6 Moons articles-reviews spell this out very clearly. Apparently with the proper speaker match these amplifiers are quite ex... | |
| Wyetech Labs Ruby Std preamp - any views? Best sounding products and best managed businesses don't always go hand in hand unfortunately. | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Jordan do you alternate between the CSL and CF line stages for a change of pace/ perspective? Charles, | |
| Pass First Watt models ... confused Abrew19,Srajan Ebaen has done a very thorough and systematic review of each of the First Watt models at 6 Moons.com. there are comparisons between the various models, you won't find a more comprehensive source. Beginning with the F1 all the way to... | |
| Wyetech Labs Ruby Std preamp - any views? Spirit,Pavpet has owned both, so I imagine he found the"relative" difference to be rather substantial between the Wyetech and Hovland. Certainly this doesn't mean your findings or impression would be similar. Regarding Wyetech's pedigree, I was ac... | |
| transformers/output impedance I agree with George's point in regard to output transformers. The really good ones can avoid the need for introducing NFB, if one choses to use easy to drive speakers. While I appreciate the sound reasoning and theory of eschewing the output trans... | |
| Are all asynchronous USB inputs similar? The issue is which pathway offers the best sound quality. Baetis eschews USB in favor of dedicated high quality SPDIF connection vs Steve's high grade USB products approach. Someone with a computer and Empirical Audio USB parts compared to Baetis ... | |
| Wyetech Labs Ruby Std preamp - any views? Hello Spirit, I'm not familiar with the Hovland preamp. Given the evolution of your system and its present make up I'd think that you have achieved both transparency and realistic tonal warmth. My gut feeling is that the Wyetech Ruby STD is as goo... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Jordan,Well admittedly there's some speculation/extrapolation based on Pap's impression of the W.E. vs Hifi 101D comparison in his system.Charles, | |
| Calling all Horn lovers Hi Gwalt,Good to see you postihg again. I suspect that your system sounds truly superb! Have you thought about posting your system on audiogon? I and I'm sure others would love to see it.Regards, Charles, | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Jordan, I don't mean to imply that there's a"night and day" improvement with the Psvane but the improvement is undeniable. In what manner? The sound quality is more organic, harmonically complete and fleshed out and tactile. There's more presence ... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Hi Jordan and Brownsfan, Perhaps we should send her emails expressing our interest. If that's unsuccessful I'll find a way to order from China. Jordan I think you know that Brownsfan and I aren't hype machines and we both call it as we see it. The... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Brownsfan,I find that I have to temper my enthusiasm and joy. The CSL with the Psvane 101D tubes are just the epitome of unadulterated music conveyed with emotion and uninterrupted communication. In my very humble opinion this is one of the truly ... |
