| Anyone try the "hybrid" copper/silver ic's? I've tried the Xtreme X-2 hybrid ICs. I ran them from my preamp to amp. I believe the ratio of copper to silver is in favor of copper by a pretty good margin. The ICs sounded nice, no excessive brightness and very smooth. | |
| DAC-AH - upgrade to Audio Mirror? I have an Audio Mirror D1 DAC that I felt in stock form was fantastic and have since had it modified by TRL with exceptional results. You can read my review on it in the review section as I was able to do a A/B comparison between the modded and an... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 La45 - I've ordered the X-2 cables and they take a couple weeks to ship. The X-1 cables should be here soon and I'll be able to listen to them for a bit prior to swapping in the X-2s. Hopefully I'll have my Sony next week and can start the break i... | |
| Need help to trouble shoot the noisy amp. Perhaps the best thing to do is go back to the manufacturer and provide the same description and ask the same question. Are the amps consecutive serial numbers? Who is the manufcaturer? | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? For the last 7 years I have driven a 1972 Porsche 911T Targa. It originally had the 2.4 liter engine with dual triple barrel Webber carbs. It has been renovated over the first 4 years to include a 1978 911SC 3.0 liter engine with fuel injection. | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used IMO you will get more mileage out of non-os DACs in your price range. The Audio Mirror, lower end Audio Note, Audio Sector, and Scott Nixon come to mind. Most of these will be available new in your price range with money left over for a nice digit... | |
| NY Manhattan "New LP's Japon IMPORT Store"? Jaybo - I don't like the fact that the SF store moved the Jazz section way to the back corner. Kind of makes it inconvenient. Once, I went to all 3 stores in a weekend (doable since I live in SoCal), the Berkeley store had the best Jazz, the SF be... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 La45 - I'll report on the Sony when I get it, hopefully this week. However, I have never heard the TRL Marantz so I can't make a direct comparison.I actually spotted a pair of 1m Oritek X-1 ICs here today and bought them. I'll compare them to the ... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 I am going to be trying the Oritek X-2 shortly on my TRL Sony DVP-NS900V. If I see a used X-1 I'll be all over it. Too much has been said about these cable to ignore them. | |
| NY Manhattan "New LP's Japon IMPORT Store"? Jaybo - don't forget the Amoeba in SF and the original one in Berkeley as well. | |
| Gain specs for Jolida JD-9A phono preamp I have the K&K Audio Lundahl step-up and am using it with the Hagerman Trumpet. I have the 14db configuration (1:5 ratio), but Kevin supplies the schematic and if you can solder it will be easy to change to a 20db or 26db configuration. With t... | |
| cable burn in process Flemke - the Hagerman FryKleaner is available as a half-kit. I've heard good things about this unit. | |
| Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2? I met Wally at RMAF and ordered my Wally Tractor and Skater from him there at his table. I also got one of his scales. I had been warned that he was slow and to stay on top of him by calling him, which is the best way to contact him. He always ans... | |
| I hope break in is true It's going to get better. | |
| is there a current production 20 bit cd player ? Maybe I'm off base here, but why go to 20 bit instead of sticking to Redbook. In fact, if you like Audio Note, why not one of their non-os DACs. You can use your CD2 as a transport, or get another transport. Just thought I'd throw it out there. |
