| Best sounding CD player You are correct that a Jay’s CDT-2 (at a cost of $2,500) or a CDT-3 (at a cost of $5,000), are better than the Audiolab 6000CDT. But where does it stop? Where does it stop? That is totally up to the consumer. We all have our individual budget ... | |
| BAT VK-P5 question If it’s in good working condition I bet it sounds terrific! For 600.00 USD I’d give it a try. Charles | |
| Silver Speaker Cables Thanks for your kind comment Jim. I appreciate your consistently insightful posts on this forum. Charles | |
| Silver Speaker Cables Best analogy I can make, is looking at a child's normal picture book, then looking at the same picture book, but now it's the 3D pop-up version 😊 if that makes sense I thoroughly understand your analogy. Charles | |
| The character of analog and digital @lalitk I honestly don’t care to partake in analog vs digital arguments. I been on both sides and understand deeply the virtues and pitfalls of both formats. I prefer to focus on music instead of tiresome and often meaningless discussions on one... | |
| Considering Nagra Tube Dac with Power Supply or MSB Reference ? Get them both in your house with your system and then decide. If this can be arranged, then unquestionably it’s the best evaluation method. With regard to WBF , he’s more likely to get replies from those familiar with the components of interest... | |
| Question About Capacitor Upgrade in Tube Amp @eworkflow Agreed. Completely unnecessary obnoxious and immature forum behavior. Charles | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? @cleeds Nonsense. Gauge matters. A 20AWG wire isn't sufficient for a 120VAC 15A line. Period. Material also matters As usual on this forum, you’re on point. Charles | |

| Silver Speaker Cables @painter24 Congratulations! They will be pretty much burned-in at roughly 200 hours. As your listening comments reveal, you are headed in the right direction. Improvement will continue. These are really excellent and well-made cables that a... | |
| Help! Trying to pick an amp/preamp for an Acoustat 1+1s @atmasphere Put another way, many tube amps could probably play this speaker. I’m glad you took the time to reply and explain on this thread. I wasn’t aware of the detail and insight you provided. However, I know what I heard on numerous occ... | |
| Help! Trying to pick an amp/preamp for an Acoustat 1+1s This is exactly what that Acoustat dealer had. | |
| Help! Trying to pick an amp/preamp for an Acoustat 1+1s @ghdprentice That is really interesting. As I mentioned above, the local Acoustat dealer (Early 1990s era) drove his speakers with the VAC REN 70/70. And believe me, that pairing absolutely sang beautifully. In addition he had a decent size list... | |
| Help! Trying to pick an amp/preamp for an Acoustat 1+1s Back in the day there was an Acoustat dealer that I visited on several occasions. He drove the speakers with the VAC Renaissance 70/70 amplifier (Push-pull 300b, 65-70 per channel) with truly excellent results. Granted these amplifiers were built ... | |
| DAC vs PC vs Source @w123ale For tonight winning combo: Delta PC, Weiss, and Roon. PC had the biggest impact on SQ Thanks for taking the time to share your recent listening/comparative results. I’m not surprised that the power cables had such a noticeable impa... |
