| DeVore Silverbacks 4musica44107, I see you bought your heart`s desire the Solovox speakers, congratulations. The SB are so well regarded, what are the improvement/differences you hear now? Are the Solovox meeting your high expectations? I have a real interest in the... | |
| Modern Linestages Grannyring,Beautifully said. | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Hi,Jcote, given your Shindo system I can understand your interest in these 2 DACs. I ordered my Metrum Octave 4 or 5 weeks ago, with a waiting period 8-12 weeks. I will post my impression in the future. KISS principal, yes I agree with you. Based ... | |
| Modern Linestages George,that would imply that the source passes the signal perfectly, I don`t believe that`s the case. The source itself may be incapable of preserving/passing the signal as well as a premium quality active linestage(just because source to amp is d... | |
| Modern Linestages Good thoughts Onemug, This is why I don`t get emotional or upset on these threads. I accept the fact we all hear differently,have different perceptions and priorities etc. If Clio09 feels passive is better, why sould I care that`s his choice. I ju... | |
| Separate volume controls for left & right channels My linestage has dual volume controls and I love them. They`re very accurate and for me no hassle what so ever, very simple yet effective. | |
| Modern Linestages The really wonderful aspect of this hobby is the ability to put things to the test.If you trust your ears, you can judge/test the theories and listen to what happens.You can say a good passive is truer to the source and that active devices simply ... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Hi Pani,I`ve not heard the Reimyo player. You make some insightful points regarding analogue/digital differences.Music continuity and flow are a high priority for me as is "natural" tone/timbre and harmonics,A good analogue system excels in this v... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC All300b,Go to 6 moons.com letters page and scroll down to the recent corespodence. A reader asked this very question. Srajan said the Burson160D review is`nt quite finished but right now he prefers the Metrum Octave. Note worthy due to his very hi... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Pani I`ve not heard the Lavry Gold. I must admit the brilliant approach taken with the Metrum is quite exciting to me. I `ve been reading Srajan`s reviews for a long while and by now can sense when he finds a component`s performance exceptonal. He... | |
| Modern Linestages Grannyring,Regarding the direction of some "modern" components your comments are astute. When I attend live performances(unamplified jazz groups) they consistently sound rather,full,rich,round toned and yes warm. Even when they play very fast temp... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Pani,Forgot to answer other questions.1)Payed 2500 USD for YDA-1. JAN. 20102) No switch for 110/220 volts3)Srajan sent me an email saying he did`nt directly compare the YDA-01 and Metrum. But said reviewer Joel thought the TotalDAC clearly bettere... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Pani,This is why I suggested you read the Totaldac review for context. That review compared the reviewer`s Yamamoto(which he loved) to the Totaldac and preferred this component. Srajan found the Metrum and Totaldac sonic equals(Metrum is 1/5 the c... | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has Limited to one, Charlie Parker. | |
| Modern Linestages In theory a passive linestage "should" be all that`s needed with the higher output sources use these days. The reality is however in "most" systems a good active linestage simply sounds more complete and life-like, there`s more "there". |
