| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Hi Hooper, I have two questions regarding the DarTZeel: 1. Why does Hervé call his amp DarTZeel? Is it a character from a cartoon? 2. Do you know the Accuphase A-50V? This amp has some similarities to the DarTZeel (and costs about the same as the ... | |
| accuphase vs dartzeel Hi Branimir, why is the Accuphase not your cup of thee? Does it sound too colored, or to veiled? Is the DarTZeel very transparent and dynamic? If that is the case it reminds me of the sound of ICEpower amp. Maybe Jonathan Tinn can also describe hi... | |
| Anybody Hear the Duevel Jupiter? Hi Kjl, I'm also curious regarding the sound of Duevel Jupiters. An audiophile friend who has heard them said the sound was quite pleasant (I refer you also to Fplanner description). There was a certain lack of palpability though, like the sound e... | |
| new CJ sound compared to old CJ sound Hi Brainwater, Tim and Fjn, I've had the Premier 7b in the past. I think it was (and still is) a fine preamp. But to much hassle with tubes, so I changed to solid state (Accuphase C-290V, which is also very good). In my opinion the older CJ's have... | |
| Best 5 engineered rock albums? This is a good discussion of course, but a bit off topic in my opinion. Should be placed at the "Best of" section. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Hi Teajay, none of the so called reference DACs is bad actually: that's why they are called reference. Even oldskool reference DACs, like the older Accuphase, Stax or Wadia DACs are still competitive with current DACs. My opinion is: the most musi... | |
| Testicle Tumor Foxtrot, hope this would be a benign thing and they can leave the other in situ. Lot's of strength and good luck!Chris | |
| whats the biggest mistake you made? Married my wife!.... (just kidding) | |
| Tannoy Westminster Royal HE Ecclectique, I've seen another big Tannoy speaker, called the Kingdom 18. This particular type is no more in production I suppose, because Tannoy homesite doesn't mention it in their "products" list. It is even more expensive than the Westminster ... | |
| Vibration Hi Ketchup and Plato, probably vibration control devices alter sound like dither does in digital reproduction of music or second harmonics distortion in tube gear. By emphasizing certain resonance frequenties and reducing other perhaps one can ind... | |
| isolation transformer Thx for all your reponses. What do you think of using silver wire for an isolation transformer? Does it make sense? Or is this just "nonsense"? | |
| Accuphase DP-100 DC-101 Sleeping Giant Or Dinosaur Guido, I have emailed Accuphase about certain items and I must say the representatives who responded to my mails were very friendly and knowledgeable. It is also a question to me why the Accuphase distributor/importer is quite reluctant to respond... | |
| Accuphase DP-100 DC-101 Sleeping Giant Or Dinosaur Hi Guido, the same question I was asking about the Accuphase DP-90/DC-91 combo, Accuphase top-of-the-line digital before the DP-100/DC-101. I own the 90/91 and I must say it is an excellent and natural sounding digital combination. I don't know wh... | |
| Beginners Pre-amp Hi, in the first place: what is a beginners pre-amp? I think there are two options regarding preamps and audio gear in general: a bad and a good sounding one. Currently there aren't actually any bad sounding units (otherwise they are defective). W... | |
| Accuphase DP-90/DC-91 combo outdated? I'll do that Elberoth, thx. I wonder if there are more fellow audiophiles who own this (almost classic) digital gear. |
