| audio mirror dac Mooch2000,Which cables are you using? I have the VH Audion Pulsar coaxial IC and VH Flavor 4 PC. I'd be interested to know what is working for you.I totally agree with your assessment as well. One of my best purchases. | |
| Spendor SP 2/3 Amplifier Load I'm using a Cary V12i with my Spendor 1/2s and at 50 watts triode they're doing just fine. Before that I had the 7/1s which are the floor standing version of the 2/3s and no problems there either. | |
| Cambridge Audio 640C... I want to upgrade You have lots of choices here. I considered the Cary 308T as well as the Sim Audio Moon Equinox, which if you are patient turns up for around $1300 - $1400 used. New Quad 99s are in your price range and have been recommended by a lot of folks.The ... | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? Douglas,I totally agree on your assessment of Nakamichi. I still own several of their tape decks including a 680ZX and 2 550s (one for parts). They were well ahead of their time in analog sound reproduction. I never owned one of their CDPs as I th... | |
| Help with next CDP upgrade... CEC makes a nice belt driven transport in the $1200 range that would work well with your DAC. I gave it top consideration before going in a different direction. I'm thinking of revisiting it just for varieties sake and to have another transport op... | |
| Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.? Newmanoc,No headphone out. | |
| Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.? Kek23,What tubes are you using in the SLP-98L? I bought mine about a month ago and got rid of the stock Chinese. I'm running cryoed Sylvania 6SN7Ws in the linestage and cryoed Sylvania 6SN7GTBs in the buffer. I've tried some other NOS combinations... | |
| Any opinions on PS Audio Power Plants Stevecham,How complicated is it to install the Pabst fan. Is there a particular model you recommend? | |
| Any opinions on PS Audio Power Plants Elberoth2,You said:"I have called PS Audio and was informed, that you can safely disconect the fan, unless the power meter on P-300 doesn't read above 100W."The power meter on mine in Sin wave mode barely goes over 60W. Even now as it is running w... | |
| Any opinions on PS Audio Power Plants I have the P300 as well. I started out by running an Xtreme Statement into a HC/UO, then another Xtreme Statement to the P300. Plugged in to the P300 were my tube preamp, CD transport, DAC, and tube phono stage. I only used the 60/120 settings on ... | |
| audio mirror dac Gregg,No luck emailing you, kept bouncing back as undeliverable. If you're interested in hearing the DAC email me. | |
| audio mirror dac Gregg,I'll email you to give you more details. I assume your Audiogon name is also your email address. | |
| audio mirror dac The DAC is exceptional in my opinion. At this price point it easily plays like 3 - 4 x its cost. I chose it over an Audio Note, Shigaraki, Benchmark, Bel Canto, and MSB. It rivaled the Audio Note 2.1x and outdid the rest. The non-os design gives i... | |
| best mid price dac for Sonic frontiers CD3 I am not using either of those DACs, but considered both before purchasing an Audio Mirror D1. Like 47 Lab and AN, this is an non-os DAC and excellent for the price - $500 new. You can purchase it here on Audiogon. Well worth considering. | |
| Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.? I have the Cary SLP-98L and find it to be very musical, especially with vinyl. The combination of the Cary preamp with the Cary PH-301 tube phono stage produces a very magical sound from the LPs spinning on my SOTA Nova. I couldn't believe it at f... |
