| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm I’d guess you’d call that attention to detail. Yes, and in my experience it is this type of attention that makes a difference for the better sonically. Those seemingly small details matter. Charles | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns The 005 is wired with silver? Very interesting. Charles | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns One other term I’d add for CSLS and DHT, SET amps in general. From the first moment I heard an SET amp IMMEDIATE was the one word that came to mind, and one I’d not used prior. DHT have unique sensation of transporting performers to you in a... | |
| Billie or Ella? Maria or Renata? Technique or feeling? @chowkwan I understand your point. When I was introduced to jazz music Ella was my go to female vocalist. With more exposure and experience my preferences have changed. I much prefer Sarah Vaughan and definitely Carmen McRae. More interesting, c... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Assuming that amp up to it, top tier tubes will be impressive upgrade from present tubes. Crazy, but I could easily spend $2500 up on those three tube sets alone, even more crazy, it would be worth it. Agree 100%. If it is a good quality SET bu... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns I have owned my Coincident Statement Line stage (CSLS) for 13 wonderful years. I’ve been asked on numerous occasions to describe its essential sonic character. The terms I employ over and over again are pure, resolved, open, transparent, dy... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns You illustrate my earlier point in that it is predominately a semantics issue. There is not to my knowledge a precise and strict vocabulary in High End audio. So this leads to a communications problem when attempting to express oneself with... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm True, I could substitute the word natural. But literally all words have corresponding synonyms. Hugh -large. tiny-minuscule, wealthy-rich and so on. Charles | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm We are left then with: it makes the music sound more like unamplified instruments in real space, or not. For the most part this limits the music to classical, most often performed without the benefit of microphones and loudspeakers. I was... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC “But please understand music can never sound organic, it’s a word that you have been accustomed and conditioned to, but it really doesn’t exist” Completely disagree , however just as I suspected it’s a semantic or lexicon problem. My use of the t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC It's definitely not "organic" or vinyl or tube like, it's real, warts and all. When did you ever come from a concert and say "Wow, that was really organic!", I suppose that there is a vernacular issue with the use and meaning of terms. To descr... | |
| Higher sensitivity - more dynamic sound? @audiokinesis How is 110 dB max SPL "more total dynamics" than 114 dB max SPL? The only way I can see that happening is IF the system noise floor is at least 5 dB lower for the 86 dB/250 watt system, and that’s not something you have include... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns Good observation and point with regard to the dual function (DAC-streamer) Bricasti M1(Tri function if one considers volume control). Charles | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp RS2T-Weiss 502-Supratek DHT-Toolshed 300b. Great links in that signal chain @firstgrowth. Charles | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp @firstgrowth Wow! You are developing a marvelous audio system. Are you getting specifically the Pro-Ject RS2T ? If so an excellent CD transport choice (Nickola II as well LPS). What DAC will you be using? You’re going to be a very happy listener... |
