| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @whitestix I appreciate your kind words, thanks. I’m been a participant on this forum since 2008 and still enjoy posting and reading the experiences of others here. Acquiring the Willsenton 300b SET was a very good decision on your part. Charles | |
| Silver Speaker Cables @jayctoy Thanks for your kind comment. I would like to clarify however. In my system I have the Lavricables Grand power cable (3) and 1 Master power cable. I do not have any of their interconnect cables. Charles | |
| Tube preamp options I can imagine the Don Sachs line stage and Frankenstein mono blocks pairing sounding very natural and also emotionally involving. Charles | |
| To preamp or not to preamp. That is the question. @oddiofyl Put a great preamp in the loop and BAM , everything snaps back into focus, has depth , bass, and great extension. A soul Yep! My experience as well. Holistic, breath of life, more of a complete and realistic sonic-music rendering p... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 The music seems so alive and realistic that I listen for hours, just palpably real. This comment particularly stands out because this was my immediate reaction to placing a 300b SET into my system the very first time. The sound quality and pres... | |
| Tube Amp for Devore O/96 @flipturn I have taken into consideration what you said you are sonically looking for and the size/volume of your listening space. As noted previously, you’ve received some really commendable recommendations. I admittedly lean toward DHT-SET opt... | |
| To preamp or not to preamp. That is the question. 1000.00 dollars? Shop carefully, a mediocre preamplifier won’t elevate what you currently have. Preamplifier has to have good design, part quality and implementation. Otherwise it’s a pointless endeavor. Charles | |
| To preamp or not to preamp. That is the question. @alvinnir2 I will likely try something solid state, and see if it yields any improvement. There seems to be enough opinion here to support the fact that a preamp will improve things Yep! This is the logical and most thorough approach. Compare b... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @wig Thanks for your reply. Well, the Q-Stab CD clamp is a different material and larger than the supplied Pro-Ject RS2T clamp. At the speed that these discs spin, I imagine a different designed clamp is going to exert some degree of influence. i... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @wig BTW how is the Merason DAC paired with your RS2T working out ? Charles | |
| New Project RS2T transport @wig I had no awareness of this product. I am so happy with the sound quality of my RS2T that I have not given any thought of tweaks or modification for it. I’ll look into the links you have kindly provided. I know that you moved from your Jay’... | |
| To preamp or not to preamp. That is the question. @soix The Node 2i is a streamer, DAC, and preamp for $600 — using common sense, how much do you think they spent on the preamp components? The preamp is too important to the overall sound quality of a system. FWIW, and best of luck. An intell... | |
| Tube preamp options @tomic601 Thanks for the additional information. Interesting times. Charles | |
| Tube preamp options @tomic601 Finally…i might counsel you to wait a few months for…the Vandy preamp…rest assured the design goal is to better the REF6, which IMO is no small feat….. Is Vandersteen going the tube route or is the design a transistor circuit? This ... | |
| Tube Amp for Devore O/96 I forgot to add that my listening room is a very large open space,; with high ceilings and no walls, so I will need a decent bit of power. With that in mind, would the Jadis still be more amp than I need for my efficient speakers? @flipturn I... |
