| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Jordan I`m thrilled as can be with the CSL-Franks-Takatsuki pairing.I have no doubt I`d be every bit as satisfied with the Audion or another high level 845 amplifier.Thankfully there`s more than one road that leads towards Rome.You took a chance o... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil,Given your considerable experience with 845 SET amplifiers,where does the Komuro 845 fit in your hierarchy.How does the Audion Elite 3 box 845(extra power supply?) compare to the Black Shawdow.Charles, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Typo, meant sublime. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Nice reporting Jordan!1, The SET-Atma-Sphere comparison is what I hear also.2,The Audion BS seems to be a wonderful 845 amplifier.3,Hope you`ll able to hear your Franks with the Takatsuki tubes one day.The Black Treasure is a very good 300b.The Ta... | |
| What should I upgrade first amp or preamp? Karapuz,What are you trying to improve? It is not stated in your original post.Brownsfan suggested the Modwright modification to your Oppo and this is an excellent upgrade in sound(and a very good value).You say you don`t want tubes, okay,what are... | |

| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Jordan, My first really musically satisfying digital front end was the Timbre DAC with an Esoteric transport . I used this combo for 12 years. My current digital source is a level beyond and utterly organic and emotionally engaging. My Yamamoto DA... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Jordan, I'm a former Well Tempered TT owner myself, I really enjoyed it for years! Much better than my Linn Sondek LP12.I agree with your assessment of digital treble reflecting the individual CD as opposed to the genre in general. I have many CDs... | |
| DACs With Killer Built-In Preamps I've never abandoned active linestages, I find them indispensable. Regards, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit, That's very good to hear and the Audion seems an excellent fit into your system. The attributes you describe are what caught my ear and put me permanently in the SET camp 4 years ago. If any other topology sounds as natural and just plain ... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Germanboxers(Jordan),I find your comments and experience with SET amplifiers particularly insightful given the context. You`re coming from a background of Clayton class A SS amp and Atma-Sphere OTL. Both "highly" regarded examples of their respect... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit,You express yourself well and convey personal listening impressions effectively. I look forward to reaing more.I truly understand this reaction to SET amplifier exposure/insertion within your home system.Charles, | |
| DACs With Killer Built-In Preamps Grannyring,It`s interesting reading your post from 4/02/13 and then reading Tmorosk`s post on 4/03/13(5 of 6 listeners returning to an active linestage after a period of time). Long term evaluation impressions are valuable,the ear/brain can be foo... |
