| Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC Knghifi,When I got my Yamamoto DAC in JAN. 2010 I was so impressed with its sound I sent Shigeki Yamamoto an email expressing my gratitude. I received a reply within days in english(it was very gracious).Samuel Furon of Ocellia does carry this lin... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No "The sound can best be described as angry muttering"Palpable presence in spades i`m sure. | |
| Capacitor Size The type of capacitor matters also. For example a paper in oil(PIO) cap will be larger in size than most poly film caps. Caps that are made with damping considerations may be larger and heavier such as the Duelund capacitors. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne The cost of a speaker compared to the speaker stand should`nt matter.High quality speakers deserve good stands. Some speakers more expensive than the MM Micro one sound inferior and no stand(regardless of its cost ) will change that reality. The f... | |
| Ocellia cables IC why not much talk? Rsf507,My 2 cents worth, I `ve had both the Ocellia Reference IC and SC for 8 months. The SC is superb! every bit as compelling as the IC.They share the sme level of naturalness,honesty and the uncanny realism.I find both to be excellently balance... | |

| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Wolf,I think enough people with SET experience have said often that they feel no need to limit what types of music they listen.I include myself in that group without question, but no amplifier or any component does it all. Even if a system perform... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Good SET systems do reproduce classical and jazz music convincingly.The irony is that recordings of these two genres are often done to a higher quaility standard than a lot of rock and in most cases also provide a much wider dynamic range gradient... | |
| Here’s my $1750…just tell me what to buy.. Mechans, your post is one of the most presumptuous I`ve seen on this site in some time.Do you know him personally?If it was tongue in cheek,my apology.Regards, | |
| Tube Amps from China Roscoeiii,Makes a good point along with others here.I love tube power amplifiers but you'must' match them to an appropriate speaker or disappointment will be the result.Your current speaker is`nt ideal for the lower cost tube amps you`re seeking.R... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No hi tmsorosk,Actually I agree with you, most everything we state concerning audio is just based on our individual experiences and and the conclusions we form as a result. What I wrote is just my personal account and impression of my reaction to dif... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No For quite sometime I`ve felt the amplifiers with high damping factor produced bass that seemed contrived and artificial.They just did`nt sound like bass instruments do in natural/live settings.It`s as though the normal bloom, tone,fullness,body an... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Makes you wonder if that extra weight and mass confer more beneficial damping. I`m sure there`re other factors involved but damping may be an under appreciated result.Regards, | |
| If you had to choose: tube amp or tube pre-amp? As to which type of amplifier SS or tube will sound more dynamic is completely dependent on the speaker they`re matched with (this can`t be emphasized enough).Same is true for bass performance.Based on the designer`s intent some speakers need more... | |
| Capacitor question Wdascenz,Might it be too early to say david made a mistake? Based on the replies from those familiar with the CuTF V-Caps they need many hours before one can draw accurate conclusions. Now it`s certainly possible that after complete burn-in david ... |
