| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Obrennan,The CSL is attractive and very solidly constructed,is it cosmetically flawless?, No.Take a close look internally and see the true value of this design.Very high quality transformers(Japanese custom made) and choke filters(power supply)(th... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil,Thank you for your Melody amplifier impressions. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Warrenh,I`ve used Herbie`s products sucessfully and they have out performed some more expensive alternatives. I reccently replaced Herbie`s Tenderfoot(very good) with Star Sound Audio points(1.5 inch) under my components and heard an improvement.M... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Obrennan1963,I`m happy for you as nothing is better than actually hearing a component yourself.I`ve owned mine for 3 1/2 years and appreciate it more as time and many long listening sessions past by. You described its brilliant sound and performan... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hello Gopher and Phil,Have either of you heard the Melody SET-PSET 845 amps(I believe the Black series)? The driver tube is the 2a3 and an interstae transformer circuit.On paper it looks like a good design.Regards, | |
| Mundorf silver /oil /gold vs Duelund CAST Duelund CAST is just a fantastic capacitor. I `m still waiting for the post where someone says,yeah I tried them and 'they`re just okay'. There`s always that one guy out there.Regards, | |
| Torn between two IC's... Please help... Schubert,Nice words of wisdom.You can certainly improve a system with thoughtful selection and patience. You can spend a lot of money and have different but not necessarily better and sometimes worse than where you began.Regards, | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Tbg,Did your SR Qauntum fuse sound good immediately or was there a break-in period? I got some recently and in my case they definitely improved with additional hours.I wonder how much this varies with different components and systems.Regards, | |
| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? Bigkidz,Agree with your description of the Coincident linestage.One clarification, it has no resistor in the signal path.Regards, | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? It`s very possible that sonically you may prefer the smaller Pass amp to the larger one you heard.Regards, | |
| Einstein The Tube vs Audio Reaserch REF5 It seems strange a 98 db sensitive speaker would draw that kind of power. Is this speaker`s sensitivity rating accurate?I`ve heard speakers this sensitive go well over 100 db SPL with 20 watts in good sized rooms.This room must be huge.Regards, | |
| Mundorf silver /oil /gold vs Duelund CAST I`d believe the Mundorf capacitor will improve quite a bit with additional break-in hours.At that point it`s typically personal preference.I have the Duelund CAST in my DAC and speaker. They were very good initially(first few hours) and progressed... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil,Thanks for your lucid and detailed followup impression of the SIT-1 amplifier.I`m grateful you and Keithr are generous in sharing your up close and 'own system' experiences with this component.It makes sense why Srajan prefers them, and equal... | |
| Donald Byrd Yes, I`ll miss him but happy to have his recordings to play and enjoy his talent.Regards, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I honestly don`t see where phil`s admiration and enthusiasm for the Zu line and concept is any more(or less) over the top than Srajan`s relatively recent embrace of low power transistor amps over SET tubes. Both have 'clearly' expressed a choice a... |
