| The Engineer's Shoes.. Onhwy61,I see the point you're making but as human beings how else to communicate without a common language? For example I've been asked more than a few times by interested people to describe the differences in sound between my SET 300b and my 100... | |
| Coincident Dragon MK I vs MK II Erndog,If you don't mind, let us know the results with these different 300b as driver tubes.Regards, | |
| Coincident Dragon MK I vs MK II Jimmy,The Dragon is a clear and simple circuit design with much transparency.For this reason I believe you'd hear the effect of the 300b driver tube.Regards, | |
| New preamp experience Marcus why not keep both and have top level 300b SET amp and a top level 300b push pull version? How often do you use the VAC now?Regards, | |
| The Engineer's Shoes.. I don't know how one can attempt to effectively communicate and convey their thoughts to strangers without descriptive vocabularies. Adjectives are both useful as well as necessary to express what one hears which is of course a subjective endeavor... | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier Tomtab,You wrote"I don't care how good they sound" here's where I'd disagree. All that would matter to me is the sound (what else is more important).I believe quality transformers and linear power supplies are crucial and will produce superior sou... | |
| New preamp experience A friend of mine has the ModWright modified Oppo 105 and I've heard it extensively and it's superb.It clearly outperforms his former modified Oppo 95 and also the much more expensive Playback Designs MPS-5 player he had in the past. So your observ... | |
| DACs With Killer Built-In Preamps Grannyring,Are you replacing your Dude preamp with the Eximus DP1?If so let us know your impressions, sounds interesting. Regards, | |
| DACs With Killer Built-In Preamps Vhiner,I clearly understand you position and agree. We all like what we like.As you correctly point out, both approaches have their strong supporters.I prefer the implementation of a top quality active for the same reasons as you.I have no argumen... | |
| New preamp experience Marcus and Brownsfan, you along with recent CSL owners Thankful and Obrennon have with your satisfaction driven home a belief of mine. In general I'll select simple over the more complex when it comes to matters of audio, I.e. keep the signal path... | |
| Duelund CAST silver a $50,000 Upgrade? As far as I know the Deulund CAST differ only in choice of metal foil used.Other than that distinction all else is identical. | |
| New preamp experience Hi Marcus,Thanks for the kind comments.The Ocellia is one of those small and relatively unknown companies that produce very special excellent products.I think you'll be more than impressed with the addition of these to your already very fine syste... | |
| Coincident Dragon MK I vs MK II There aren`t many choices of the 6em7 available, you might as well stick with what you have. | |
| New preamp experience Markus,Congratulations,trusting your ears appears to be exactly what you`ve done.I`ve had this splendid amplifier and linestage combo for 3 1/2 years so I appreciate your genuine joy.Marcus, I thought you were using a VAC REN 30/30 amp in place of... | |
| Coincident Dragon MK I vs MK II Erndog,This is good to hear. That amplifier is transparent and very uncolored, so power cord,cables and tube changes will be quite apparent.The Dragon as expected responds significantly to this type of fine tuning.You` re on the right track, just ... |
