| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? Pani,In all honesty Knghifi may be on to something. In numerous threads you`ve expressed a desire for a cable that`s warm,lush toward the romantic. Could it be possible you are seeking some degree of correction/compensation for some aspect in your... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute or Audience Au24e? Hi,Latinsamba1, given the price range you`re shopping, have you considered the ASI Liveline speaker cable? It`s stunning in my SET based system. Great reviews at Stereo Times and multiple reviews on 6 Moons. Would likely be very good in your syste... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hello Tvad,I thought you were using the push-pull Wright 2A3 amps.Several other users of the treasure tubes that I know of have had the same stellar reliability as I have. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Bsimpson,Too bad about the shortened life of the TJ/Sophias. I run my amps often and for long periods of use and must say the Shuguang Treasure tubes are just loving it and happily singing along, they have been very reliable so far and sounding gr... | |
| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? Knghifi,That`s my conclusion also, I just think the liveline is exceptionally true to the source and has great resolution ability.With my system the cables come off as pure and organic. Last night I listened to Dexter Gordon "Tower of Power" and a... | |
| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? Macdude,The tonality of the liveline was singled out as one of it`s greater strengths by the Stereo Times reviewer and all 4 of the reviwers for 6 moons over a 2 year period.I find the tone and timbre of the liveline simply superb, as apparently m... | |
| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? Knghifi,I can except pani`s choice of cables, differerent ears,taste,system, perception etc. He`s found what works for him. I, like you have settled down with the liveline.If pani is as happy with his cable as we are with our ASI, he should be off... | |
| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? Macdude,There`s no audio component or accessory I`m aware of that suits everyone, it`s not realistic(and eplains so many brands and endless choices available). You always must trust your own ears and response to audio items. For me the Liveline is... | |
| does it logical to invest on expensive transport? Teajay makes a good point, if you have a large collection of CDs that you prize and have no plans to download, a high quality transport is mandatory for optimal redbook performance. It`s amazing just how good redbook can sound in a well thought ou... | |
| Would adding a Dac improve the sound for my setup? Ckoffend,Your remarks regarding the importance of a quality power supply is absolutely correct.From all the articles,detailed reviews and interviews with serious designers I`ve read, the PS and quality of the analog circuit andI/V conversion matte... | |
| what speakers demand high end electronics kbarkamian,Your reasoning is correct. The weak link in a given system will compromise the performance of the other components within that chain without fail, no matter how high the quality of those components. Regarding the original question, the ... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Ladavid,If you find the time, I would appreciate you posting your thoughts on these tubes in the PP amp compared to use in your SET amp. I agree 300b tubes are`nt cheap but they outlast most pentode type tubes and IMO sound better if the amp is up... | |
| Is the Phile sound an Aquired taste. Mechans,I may not quite understand your post,"supposed" to prefer the SET purity. The degree of sound quality and purity ranges a lot within the SET amplifiers, just as for PP tube or SS amps(I sure would`nt say they all sound simillar either).The... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Phaelon,You`re right , it`s a wonderful tube.SET or push pull, it does`nt matter. If it`s a well built/designed amplifier it will simply make music sound devine. Regarding your 2nd point it seems if anything running the 300b as a SET would be more... | |
| For 75-85 dB a few watts are enough so ... Lokie,Excellent! |
