| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns ”In more general theme, I’ve found over the years, less is often more with audio. When you get the fundamentals right, less of these add on devices needed.” Very astute observation. This is why I was pretty confident that you’d find the BP... | |
| Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s @jaytor Thanks for your reply and I understand your predicament. Once heard, engagement is very hard to do without. Charles | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 @sns AGD’s are somewhat closer to tube sound qualities vs most class a ss, cool looking as well, How many times has that been uttered about some solid state design? Perhaps this time true via AGD? Anyway I’d find you... | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 @sns You have considerable High End audio listening and DIY experience. knowing the make up of your audio system and reading your insightful posts, I feel that I have a good read on where you’re coming from. I’d be quite interested in your take... | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 @dlcockrum my comment was not intended to be accusatory but, rather, preventative. No problem whatsoever. Written text is harder to assess intent sometimes in comparison to the spoken word. 👍 There is no doubt that some have moved from tube... | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 @dlcockrum so everyone please be careful with generalizations re: “First Watt sound quality”. It does not seem to me that folks are generalizing F.W. sonic presentation but rather expressing their experiences in specific instances, unless my in... | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 @mulveling And "musical flow" is one of those impossible-to-quantify attributes that I consider absolutely essential - if a component doesn’t have that, it simply won’t work out here, no matter how much it might "wow" in other aspects So very... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns Perhaps one can ’clean’ things up too much, could be at some level just a bit of noise can be pleasing vs. the coloration these filters induce. Use of Flux 50 and Muon will provide more evidence in determining this true or not. Could be ... | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 @roxy54 The amp had no "flow", and even though individual instruments were well separated and clear sounding, nothing hung together like a real group playing together. Each instrument sounded like a separate event that didn’t relate to the others... | |
| Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s @jaytor Do you use your parallel 300b amplifier and Pass Labs XA 60.8 driving the same pair of speakers? Is so, this seems an interesting comparison of two very different topologies. Nice! Charles | |
| New Project RS2T transport @robshaw For those of you that have one and working properly, I envy you. I went back today to my Audio lab 6002 transport, (Meitner MA-1 DAC) listening for an hour to what I thought was a good Transport, which it is. However, it doesn’t hold... | |
| Chord DAVE DAC @itsjustme If you believes measurements no one would spend more than about $100 for a DAC and $300 for an integrated amp. No tubes (terrible measurements). Certainly no vinyl Yet there are those who vehemently make that very case. If the com... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @lpretiring You can select standby mode with the remote (Upper button). This also turns off the screen but keep the unit in standby. | |
| New Project RS2T transport @lpretiring You shut your unit down when not listening? I keep mine in standby status when not listening. It draws less than 0.5 watt in this mode. Seems like a bad batch of RS2T were released. Other owners I’m aware of have had trouble free o... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @facten Thanks! So it’s quite flexible. I just mentioned the CD transport performance because @nonoise specifically addressed that aspect and is highly impressed. Charles |
