| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit,Your description of live acoustic music is what I experience when I visit the jazz clubs where I live.I respect that different people hear or want what they feel is the right sound and go after it. At CES this year you could walk into a roo... | |
| What country still has music? Tpreaves,Agreed.Rok2id,Beyonce is simply gorgeous. By the way she`s sold 88 million albums/CDs thus far in her career.Beautiful and wealthy,not a bad combo.Regards, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Srajan,As you have pointed out, we all have our individual taste and prefer different components as a result. I think I understand where phil(213 cobra) is coming from in this regard. There seem to be two 'broad' camps of speakers, those seeking u... | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? Fiddler,Congratulations on your new additions, I think you made the right call.Exceptional musicality and emotional involvement are more valuable(to me) than hifi qualities if a choice has to be made.I want components that involves and connects me... | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? Fiddler I appreciate your dilemma as no component is perfect and tradeoffs are always present.Which amplifier do you believe would keep you happier with frequent use long term?Regards, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Capacitor swapping complexity is speaker dependent.In my speaker there`s only one cap(tweeter) in the minimalist crossover and no resistor. the job took about 25 minutes.The entire crossover consists of one core inductor and the single capacitor.T... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Keithr,Thanks for your opinion of the S.I.T. amps, nothing beats a listen in your own system.I expect impressions of these amplifiers to differ among various listeners. No amp is flawless so choice is simply a matter of personal priorities and tra... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Gary,You seem to be very satisfied with your Ancient Audio 300b amp and DEF 4 combination. Have you been tempted to try the First Watt S.I.T. amplifiers that 6 Moons has raved about?Regards, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit,We all as individuals hear differently so Phil may have the same or alternative conclusion with these cap choices.Your impression could of course vary.I look forward to reading your experiences once you've gain some listening time.My suspic... | |
| Tube amplifiers and interstage transformers Thanks Atmasphere, I realized some time ago that the present measurement standards and the sound quality have hardly any correlation. In some ways to a degree it's almost an inverse relationship. Stereophile's JA measurements compare to Art Dudley... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit,I believe either the Clarity or Duelund would work very well compared to the stock capacitor. 99% of the music I listen to is non audiophile fare(commercial labels big and small).The Duelund is a universal upgrade regardless of music genre.... | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? Fiddler,Sounds like the right choice,you were clearly moved and connected to your music.What`s better than that?Regards, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil,I appreciate your time and effort.Srajan Ebaen reviewed the Druid V and felt it wakes up with 50-100 watt amps.This seems strange for 101db-16 ohm speakers(should be very easy to drive it would seem).He says they sound bettet with transistor ... | |
| Tube amplifiers and interstage transformers Wavelength offers(I think,could be wrong) both IT and non IT versions of their excellent SET amplifiers.I'd love to hear Gordon Rankin's opinion on how the two options vary and why.Regards, | |
| Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC I agree, often it's better to maximize what you have than constantly changing components on the upgrade path.Regards, |
