| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Rob, I like you find that tubes seem ideally suited for amplifying signals more so than used as source devices(speaking in general terms of course). I`ve heard some of the ultra SS amps such as Solution,Vitus,MBL,Krell etc. The really well impleme... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Why do some people assume a tube DAC should be superior merely due to it`s (tube) presence? So many variables to consider, I have a tube linestage and SET amplifier(and love them). My Yamamoto DAC is SS and is fantastic. Yamamoto also offers a tub... | |
| AC regenerator Al, thanks for the clarification. the BPT does use a large balanced transformer to convert standard 120v into +60v and -60v AC power. The bottom line, it works superbly. | |
| AC regenerator The BPT products are isolation balanced AC power transformers(I don`t think they`re regenerators).I use the BP3.5 SIG. Plus unit for my entire system. Dynamics are much improved compared to my wall outlets(20 amp dedicated lines). I`ve had mine fo... | |
| Review: Tube Research TRL Dude Tube preamp Bugredmachine,Thanks, I`ll send you an e mail later today to see what day/time works for both of us.Charles | |
| Review: Tube Research TRL Dude Tube preamp Fuuny thing, I found a web site(while googling) where the author talks about these very same linestages.WAJ on audio.web.com, small world sometimes. | |
| Review: Tube Research TRL Dude Tube preamp Hi Grannyring,I live near Detroit MI. not exactly close. What interests me is that comments about both are similar, transparent,dynamic,superior tone,life-like etc. Yet both take rather different design approaches for example the CSL has not a sin... | |
| Review: Tube Research TRL Dude Tube preamp The Dude really sounds like it`s very special. With the exception of audiogon contributor glory everyone else seems to love it.Just out of sincere curiosity and respect I`d love to compare it with the Coincident Statement Linestage that I own.Not ... | |
| What component is responsible for dynamics ? Onemug,that`s a good example.This is what I meant by more spontaneous and instantaneous with music`s ebb and flow, much better dynamic contrast. | |
| What component is responsible for dynamics ? Duke,I agree with your answer based on my own numerous experiences. Higher efficiency speakers do provide more dynamic contrast regardless of volume level, I really notice it at moderate and lower volumes.This advantage always seems to make the mu... | |
| What component is responsible for dynamics ? All aspects of a system matter. It would certainly be an advantage to use high efficiency speakers with an undemanding impedance load. | |
| Piano and Trumpet can sound bright Unsound,I did say they could sound bright at times.I just deny hearing harsh and irritating which is different(at least to me). | |
| Piano and Trumpet can sound bright Hi,Unsound, the jazz clubs I attend are`nt amplified and regardless of the players or seating the sound of the horns are as I described. Lucky me I suppose.Best Regards, | |
| Memory Players Chayro,I can`t argue with your bottom line, judge components based on sound, not hype and promises.My PS Audio PWT is memory based and it`s excellent. Very natural,open,dynamic and very transparent. A truly well performoing CD transport in my system | |
| Piano and Trumpet can sound bright I hear live trumpets often at the local jazz venues. Yes at times they can be bright but never are they irritating or harsh.they don`t lose their inate beauty of tone. |
