| 5+ years old $5k player vs. current $2k player Update, I asked Srajan his opinion regarding Metrum`s performance with standard redbook CD.I received an email from Srajan this morning. He`s aware of the internet "buzz" saying the Metrum is only good with up sampled rate/high RES files. He compl... | |
| 5+ years old $5k player vs. current $2k player Hi Lewinskih,My impression of the Metrum per Srajan`s review and comparision with the APL NWO-M,TotalDAC etc. was based on redbook 16/44.1 playback(CD disc). He certainly did approved of it`s Hi-RES performance with the April Music U3 also.In his ... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC I got an email from Cees regarding my Metrum Octave. He shipped it out last week,I tracked it and it`s just sitting in customs waiting to be cleared. Hope to have it relatively soon. | |
| First Watt: current vs voltage Roscoelli is right, 6 moons has extensive reviews on every First Watt model and compares/contrast each one.The current issue has a complete review of the latest S1(SIT) First Watt amplifier. | |
| Assistance with Coincident set-up Abill,I still own an excellent 100watt(60 watt triode) push-pull amplifier. If I only listened to large scale classical at"very" loud levels(95db and higher)or heavy bass content electronica,rap,hip-hop etc. at quite loud volume,the PP amp would b... | |
| Assistance with Coincident set-up Abill,Great news! I happy you were able to solve your problem so easily(and cheaply). I accept the fact that systems and individual taste can vary, but I found it hard to believe the lack of dynamics were due to your Frankenstein amplifier. Our sp... | |
| 5+ years old $5k player vs. current $2k player Tubegroover,I have`nt heard it, I ordered one based on 6 moons.com review and the multiple mentions/comparisions in other reviews on that site.My track record with highly impressive reviews per Srajan are spot on so far. In this case there`s no wh... | |
| 5+ years old $5k player vs. current $2k player Tubegroover,You may want to research the Metrum Octave DAC as an example of a very modern NOS DAC that seemingly combines organic/natural sound with high resolution and superior frequency extention. | |
| 5+ years old $5k player vs. current $2k player Regarding PS Audio Perfect Wave, I have no experience with the DAC. The PWT I own and know well. There are several past threads where PWT users compared them to their older expensive/highly rated transports, most found the PWT a definite step abov... | |
| Is no preamp the best preamp of all? Pubul57,Thank you very much for your kind comments regarding my system.The Coincident components have worked out superbly for me. | |
| Is no preamp the best preamp of all? I doubt anything mystical. He wrote about what he experienced, nothing more or less. | |
| Is no preamp the best preamp of all? Pubul57,As clearly stated above, this is a recent change on his part(which has nothing to do with your own preferences).Arthur says the CSL had a profound effect on his previous stance concerning passive/actives. YMMV. | |
| What will raising the Va of atransformers provide? Casouza,I found your reply intriguing. Why would`nt a class A amp not improve with a larger transformer?Best Regards, | |
| Is no preamp the best preamp of all? Arthur Salvatore has updated and revised his opinion since he auditioned ans subsequently purchased the active Coincident Statemnet Linestage a few months ago. He now believes for the vast majority(with rare exception) a superior active is preferred. | |
| speakers for tube amp Hi,Sebrof I`ve yet to hear Tonian Labs or Zu speakers. I hope to get the chance at RMAF next month. Curious just based on word of mouth and reviews. |
