| Rhodium...hmmm +2 @blisshifi Very well stated and informative comments as to why rhodium is chosen as the preferred plating material by many High- End audio manufacturers. Now if an individual likes the sound or not is a subjective matter as is literally every... | |
| Valve Amp for Sonus Faber Sonetto IIIs @knotscott It doesn’t hurt to have more power, but to me it’s more important to have good power that sounds good. A good pure tube set up should sound wonderful with your Sonus Fabers. You have the resolution potential to hear the wonders of a ... | |
| Valve Amp for Sonus Faber Sonetto IIIs I agree that a hybrid amplifier is a safe compromise choice. I just think that those Sonus Faber speakers will absolutely sing to the heavens driving by a high quality pure tube output. I’m bias with regard to tube amplifiers. 😊 Charles | |
| Valve Amp for Sonus Faber Sonetto IIIs @grauerbar You have a couple of very nice Italian amplifiers under consideration. Given your taste in music I think that you would be happy with a good quality and well implemented tube amplifier. I found a review of your speakers and it seems ... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? @side22olto I think that’s a good decision at this point. I don’t believe that at your current budget limit you’d achieve a “night and day “ difference. A significant improvement is possible but in my opinion would require an upper tier quality ... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? @mitch2 Well, congratulations on acquiring the new DAC. A further step upwards? Even more of a reason for an upper tier CD transport such as the CDT3 MK III if you decide to spin CDs. 😊 Charles | |

| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? A lengthy review (As is his norm) but he is detailed and makes very useful comparisons. | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? @mitch2 I viewed your audio system and it is exceptionally nice. You Mojo Audio DAC is held in very high esteem. Benjamin Zwickel (Owner/builder Mojo Audio) did publicly express a preference for high level CD transports over streamers. You repr... | |
| Vintage tube sound from a modern amp @oddiofyl Re-tubing expense is a valid point, given that it requires 4 pairs of the 300b. Fortunately 300bs are generally long lifespan tubes. It’s nice having only 1 pair in my SET amplifier. Charles | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? @mitch2 I have so far doubted that the delta between the sound quality from my streamer/server and that provided by a transport playing physical CDs would be large enough to outweigh the convenience of streaming, at least for me. If you reall... | |
| Vintage tube sound from a modern amp 48pm I’ll stick with this vintage beauty I’ve owned for 25 years. It’s going back to VAC for the MkIII S update in January 2023. It’s has worked flawlessly all these years. This VAC Renaissance 70/70 amplifier in my opinion is a true classi... |
