| Wyetech Labs Ruby Std preamp - any views? Hi F1a,Agree with you wholeheartedly, transparency and tonal warmth can and do coexist. The audiophile dictionary has yet to be written so terms have various meanings to different people. Transparency to me means the absence of a veil or scrim tha... | |
| What preamp between Burmester and Krell? Al, thanks for the thread link.Nik if you prefer the Burmester amplifier sound then it's pretty likely you'll favor their preamp as well. | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 If anyone finds the cost of the Psvane W.E. too steep (600 USD or higher?). I can enthusiastically recommend the Hifi series 101D, this is a beautiful sounding tube. For less than 200 USD they're a genuine value for a superb line stage. I plan to ... | |
| What preamp between Burmester and Krell? Hi Kclone,This is nothing more than personal opinions based on listening, nothing else. If you like the Burmester components that's fine and I say go for it. We just have different taste rather than a case of right or wrong. Nik's amplifier is an ... | |
| What preamp between Burmester and Krell? Hi Nik, If possible it's always better to listen to these components yourself and judge (often easier said than done I realize). If your hearing and taste are similar to mine for example, you'll much prefer the AN or the Lamm sound quality and mus... | |
| What preamp between Burmester and Krell? My experience is similar to Dkarmeli's regarding the Burmester sound. I'd certainly prefer the Lamm or the Audio Note to match your amplifier. Charles, | |
| How far from the back wall are your speakers? From the back of my speakers to the wall behind them is 6 feet. | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Pack,Some manufacturers encourage their customers to try higher quality fuses. This is no different than customers who are given the green light to roll different tubes from a builder who used cheaper stock tubes in the component. Most builders ca... | |
| 33.3 is now superior to 45 Davt,Keen observation and smart decision. | |
| Are all asynchronous USB inputs similar? Steve,For someone to compare very well regarded USB products such as yours and the Baetis server,surely listening to both is the best way to make a choice. Charles, | |
| Are all asynchronous USB inputs similar? John Mingo of Baetis Audio makes a compelling case against USB use if the best sound quality is the objective. He expresses his perspective in the February TAS review of his digital music server. There are two sides of this debate, it seems he jus... | |
| Source Components, Genuinely Need Your Assistance Al, You and Chayro's suggestion of different speakers and especially your EQ recommendation makes good sense. Grannyring in the context of this discussion your advice is well reasoned. Assuming Shawn doesn't want to dismantle his system, a high qu... | |
| Primaluna-TungSol KT120s in triode mode Moofoo,I hope you do try them in your own system and settle this for yourself. Most people seem really impressed with their sound. I've found myself at odds with majority consensus regarding audio products more than a few times, your ears will sor... | |
| Why are CD's decling in quality? I'll join the chorus of others here. I have hundreds of CDs of all vintages and have had zero problems with them. In fact Red Book sounds wonderful in my system and I'm glad they're still widely available. Charles, | |
| Source Components, Genuinely Need Your Assistance Hi Brett,Well the truth is we hear pretty much alike, just look at our systems. I'd be just as happy with yours as mine. I have no idea how Shawn hears music, but if similar to us he'll adore the little known Yamamoto DAC.Charles, |
