| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Kyrill1,Thanks, I`d never sell the Yamamoto before auditioning the Metrum. That`s why I`m in a no lose situation. The Yammy is very fine(my baseline). If the Metrum is even better, then what a treat I`m in for. | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Thanks for sharing your early impressions. So far most new owners of the Metrum Octave seem to confirm Srajan Ebaen`s conclusion, exceptional transparency,detail and resolution coupled with fully fleshed out tone density,body and ease, That`s a to... | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience Cfluxa,There`s nothing out of hand with this thread. Those who have compared both formats and prefer digital are just as valid as your preference for analogue. Your opinion is no better or more informed than theirs,nor is yours any less.There are`... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Lewinskih01,The post office mistakenly has returned my Metrum shipment back to Holland! So unfortunately I`ll have to wait a little longer.Thank goodness I still have my Yamamoto to enjoy.Best Regards, | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience Levy03,Good analogy, but as onemug pointed out you first have to reach a certain level of security with yourself as well as your system. Some never get there unfortunately. | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience Mceljo,Your experience is`nt surprising to me. I`ve come to realized for a while now that either format is capable of reproducing superb sound if set up well. I don`t understand the often zealous reaction this topic seems to generate. | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? If someone prefers vinyl to CD that`s a personal /subjective choice(nothing wrong with that). To compare CD sales volume with LPs is a losing battle for vinyl, there`s simply no comparison. Analogue records are a tiny niche and will remain so(soun... | |
| How important is the preamp? muzikat is right, a good quality preamp can make a substantial improvement compared to your current system configuration. | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? Neal,That`s a good summary, without question there are great sounding server systems(but no better than the really good transport/one box players).The problem is the numerous bugs that have yet to be sorted out.There`s still a learning curve and a... | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? This topic seems to reappear every few weeks. There`s such a large volume of music available in the Red book format at very reasonable prices new and used.My passion is jazz and fortunately much of it was recorded well. My large jazz CD library co... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Unsound,I don`t believe Mr.Tsuda, Nelson Pass, Kevin Hayes(VAC) Israel Blume(coincident) just to name a few very accomplished designers of active linestages would come on a public forum and mock/dismiss someone else`s work.There`s such a thing as ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Teajay,Well said!This pompous windbag compared to Mr. Masa Tsuda, are you kidding? No contest. | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC 8th of August! Darn, I ordered mine in mid July! Cees says he shipped mine 2 weeks ago, for some reason it has`nt cleared customs(sigh).Yes, this has unintentionally become a Metrum Octave thread due probably due to my mentioning the Octave while ... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Staehli,Thanks for the very early impressions. Cees said initial sound is bright,and it needs about 3 weeks to settle in.I`m still waiting for my delivery. How long was your waiting period? I`m really looking forward to the natural tone and timbre... | |
| Best 300B tube for Cayin 300B amp? Occanica,You don`t mention a price range,300bs can cost anywhere from 150-2000 USD.A competitor to the Royal Princess in it`s price range is the Takatsuki TA 300b(Japanese).EML XLS and mesh 300b are very well regarded.I`ve been using the Shuguang ... |
