| 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... | |
| Why does my new tube amp and preamp sound so bad? Tubegroover,IMO, the bass on my Cary V12i with stock tubes is not quite as you described about the Cary house sound in general. Perhaps this is just my experience, but being very focused on the bass in recordings I listen to, I have been happy wit... | |
| Inverted phase preamps? I have a Cary SLP-98L and the manual specifically states to make the switch at the amp end. As for hearing a difference quality wise I don't know about that. I do know that on the live recordings I have made and play on my system that when the pha... | |
| what CD player between 1-2K I agree with Bigkidz in that you should look at DACs. In addition to up/oversampling DACs check out the non-os DACs as well. Audio Note if you like tubes and Audio Mirror ($550 new and a great value) if you don't prefer tubes are good choices. The... | |
| Anyone have experience with Running Springs Audio I use a PS Audio P300 for my sources and will continue to do so. However, I did some additonal research on this subject and decided I am going to buy the Haley for my amp. I currently use a Chang Lightspeed for the amp, but have been impressed wit... | |
| What is needed to have the best CD/Digital sound? I'm a tube person and until recently I believed a tube CDP/DAC was the way to go. Now after hearing and buying a solid state CDP used as a transport into a non-os DAC I've changed my mind. I still believe tubes are critical at the pre-amp and amp ... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? Jes45,Well said Jack. While I am sure APL turns out some fine products, a couple of which I was intent on hearing, this whole campaign of theirs has left a bad taste in my mouth. Regardless of how well engineered their products are, I would have a... | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? I'm not sure that what I'll be saying here is what I perceive to be the worst player for the money, but rather the least value for the price that I auditioned when I ugraded my digital components. Based on previous responses I will add a disclaime... | |
| Anybody could advise cables for my system......... My recent upgrade of interconnects and speaker cable resulted in Nordost Red Dawn interconnects and Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity speaker cables. It was a close call between the Goertz and the Speltz Anti-Cables. Both are exceptional deals. | |
| Tube Amp For Mid/Hi Look into the Cary V12 or V12i. They are around 2k used. Runs triode (50w), ultralinear (100w) and two-thirds triode. I can get mine pretty loud if I want to. You can also swap the EL-34s for KT-88s and play with the sound that way. Has a high inp... |
