| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Jordan, I always appreciate your perspectives and I'm curious to read your impression of the First Watt amplifier compared to the Frankenstein . Snopro (Joe) has both of these interesting amplifiers as well.Charles, | |
| which preamp Smokenjo,I believe that you'll find a SS preamp that will make you happy, however it won't sound like a good tube preamp. They're just different and should be.Have to agree with Syntax. If you truly desire tube performance you need a tube preamp. ... | |
| Need a warm amp for bright speakers Bifwynne,Good post and suggestions concerning amplifier characteristics, they do matter. The contributions of the amp certainty can impact the overall sound quality, it isn't exclusively just the speaker being heard.Charles, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Jordan,The Auralic Vega gets universal rave reviews so I imagine the Luxman must be special. Are you getting a second Audion amp for your Druids?Charles, | |
| New Thiel Speakers - Post Jim Thiel Era Good reasoning Knghifi, capitalism is what made it possible to for these talented entrepreneurs to grow an idea and cultivate and grow successfully in the first place. So we abolished capitalism and then what, audio components by government decree... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Wisnon,The Lamp 7 uses the level 5 power supply and the level 6 circuit. The implementation of the DHT tube is true brilliance in my opinion, low power DHT are capable of splendid natural sound. I absolutely love the 300b but the very good version... | |

| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house I've attended CES 6 times and on a number of occasions have been in the room with prominent reviewers listening to the same demonstrations. While they smile and nod their heads in approval I sit there and think the sound is dry, highly processed a... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Clio09,By the way the Concert Fidelity -TAD was once again one the very best just as it was last year at CES. Concert Fidelity is a top tier product, I heard it paired with the Kaiser Kawero at RMAF 2011 and the sound was devine.Charles, | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house The Cessaro-Electra Fidelity room impressed me as well. It was one of the very few that had a true live like flesh and blood presence. Only nitpick is it had to be cranked up in volume to achieve this effect. When played at lower volume the tactil... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Agear,Based on my listening the Lampizator 7 is a superb choice. It simply makes music which is much easier said than done. I also heard rooms utilizing the DCS and MSB stacks, I'll gladly take the presentation of the Lamp 7 instead. It justs depe... | |
| Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo Hi Ejay,Congratulations , you own an excellent pair of speakers and I just heard them again at CES a few days ago. The 2A3 is probably a bit too low powered for anything above modest listening levels ( The tonality may be wonderful however). The A... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Bill,The sound was good but I don't think I heard the Lampizator at its best. The speaker was very new (Dale Pitcher was still working on it the day before).The room was relatively small (unlike the rooms at the Venetian hotel, beautiful) and the ... | |
| Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo Ejay Do you generally like SS amps and specifically your Mod Wright amp ? If so you may be happy with the current amp. I've heard this speaker during three long listening occasions with the Triode Corp.845 PSET amplifier and thought it was simply ... | |
| What is the best DAC under $3000 Don't know what your top priority is (USB, flexibility, etc.). In terms of pure sound quality and hard core music lover criteria for Red book , the Yamamoto YDA-1 DAC is a gem. True musical beauty and emotion, as Mitch said, it's off the common pa... |
