| Source Components, Genuinely Need Your Assistance Hi Shawn,It would be helpful as others have mentioned to list your system components. I can comment on the Yamamoto DAC, it wonderfully natural and conveys the emotions of music very convincingly. The overall vibe-sound is organic with excellent t... | |
| Is a tube phono better than ss? Mallen123 The tubed Zesto phone stage being quieter than the SS Tom Evans is saying a lot and suggests a very commendable design-implementation. | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Hi Pap,Thanks for making us fellow CSL owners aware of these latest 101D tubes. I guess eventually these W.E.replicas will be available for the rest of us to obtain. In the mean time I'm enjoying the heck out of the Psvane Hifi series 101Ds, they ... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Hi Lissnr,You description of the Duelund CAST is simply dead on the bullseye. Very well said and fits my experience with them. The key words are natural and real, acoustic instruments have inherent warmth, body, color and vibrancy and they don't r... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Mikha65,You make a good observation. The CSL with the stock Shuguang tubes was easily competitive (or better) with line stages at 3-5x its own price. With the use of the W.E.Psvane 101D you are in true rarefied air territory. This makes the combin... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Pap,The CSL with stock Shuguang tubes was one of the absolute best line stages I've ever heard (I've heard many good ones). The Psvane has improved that very high base line . I'm listening to Oliver Nelson, Doug Raney and Charlie Rouse CDs tonight... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Pap, Yes you're correct, Brownsfan and I have the standard "hifi" series Psvane 101D not the W.E. version (I payed 175.00 ordered from china). These are excellent sounding tubes! The W.E. replica must be genuinely remarkable then as your descripti... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Pap,Welcome to the club! Israel Blume and Brownsfan made me aware of these Psvane 101D tubes. Brownsfan was right on the mark regarding the special quality of these tubes. They improve the already excellent Shuguang 101D and I didn't think the Coi... | |
| Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo No surprise with the Purity Audio components, Bill Baker knows what he's doing. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Joe,If I were ever interested in a SS amplifier the First Watt would likely be my destination. But you same as Phil (213 Cobra)noted the diminished(relatively speaking) organic, holistic, liquidity compared to a good SET. No amp does everything bu... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Ok Jordan I understand, thanks. | |
| Primaluna ProLogue Five VS. Classe CA-150 B limo,Congratulations, is this your first time experience with tube amplifiers? I ask because you seem very pleasantly surprised. A good tube power amplifier is hard to beat for truly involving music reproduction. Glad you gave one a listen. Char... | |
| Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo The Wyetech Topaz 211 SET amplifier has earned quite a high reputation over the years. I've never heard it but I think it's definitely worth a listen. This match has the potential to be excellent. Charles, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Jordan,Do think perhaps your brother's aversion to tubes is unwarranted due to unfamiliarity? Wound he be persuaded by their sound quality? The Frankenstein (and I'm sure the Audion) are as simple to use and trouble free as can be. It will be inte... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Jordan,Did you give any consideration to trying the First Watt SIT amplifiers? Charles, |
