| SR PowerCell 10 SE MK2 or Running Springs Jaco? Krell man,Good point, rather than a nondescript answer why not offer a meaningful suggestion to Leog2010 and give the help he's seeking? By what criteria are the two units he mentioned outdated? Charles, | |
| No more big power supplies for preamps Response 34,No once would argue your point, of course design and execution have to be proper or all is loss. Your Purity Audio line stages employ separate and beefy power supplies as one ascends the price scale. So I assume they have a significant... | |
| ARC tube CD players - Burn in I don't understand what drawback there is to continuous burn in for a couple of weeks, I've done it at times with no apparent problems. Were you given an explanation why this should be avoided? | |
| Anyone try the Bryston BDP-2 or the BDA-2 Dac Tympani,I have to agree with your impression of the Synergistic Research Quantum fuses, they are very good. I've placed them In my DAC, linestage and amplifier and they improve what was already very fine sound. They are quite cost effective for wh... | |
| Sophia Electric tube quality I had a faulty Royal Princess 300b tube and they replaced it promptly and were very polite, I was impressed. That tube had wonderful sound in my SET amplifier. | |
| tube amp goes with coincident total victory ii ?? Isochronism (Brett),Believe me I'd really enjoy the opportunity to do that. As well as fun it would be interesting to hear a fine collection of 300b tubes in two top level SET amplifiers. It wouldn't surprise me if the tube preference varied to so... | |

| Hi-rez downloads, any good? Vhiner and Mlsstl,Very well said and true!If taken to its "full" potential the high Rez format can be all that is promised, the problem, it seldom is.Too much marketing hype that isn't backed up by the product. Well produced Redbook played on high... | |

| Can Digital beat our Analog installations? Al,Your reply to Buconero117 was rational and intelligent and par for the course . No one here is knocking analog whatsoever, quite the contrary(it's used here as a lofty standard for crying out loud).I dont understand why those who prefer analog ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Given my experience with the HF cables the response to the WGPB isn't a surprise and actually expected. It would appear to be the case that this and the Tripoint Troy are both sublime products. Either is probably a major asset to any audio system.... | |
| Oppo 105 stock vs Oppo 105 Modwright Tubegroover,That's actually a good thing, you have a high caliber front end, now you can build downstream in your system and preserve the high quality signal originating from the Modwright.Charles, | |
| Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ...... Cerrot,You make a good observation. Ultimately people will migrate back to what sounds best to them. At some point in time reality will overtake hype.Charles, | |
| Can Digital beat our Analog installations? Lewm,You're right, at this point I don't know what you can say that hasn't been said previously. Both formats can sound fine and both can be disappointing, depending on the quality and the set up. I like both. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz The latest version is the Troy Signature and the price is 14K. I bought the preceeding model Troy MK II used and I'm very happy to nave found it for what I believe is a very reasonable cost. |
