| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @decooney Cardas Clear digital from streamer to Dac, Clear Reflection Dac to Pre and Clear Reflection pre to amp. @jl1ny fwiw, I’m starting to revert to a similar setup to re-test over the summer. Having made some tube changes recently, I or... | |
| Cable curmudgeon The measurement-only people are looking for a number first from a limited mechanical device before they will allow themselves to listen for a difference. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray a bit after I first got my 6sn7/cv181-TII psvanes, something similar happened. 1st time I tried them, fine out of the box. Later had removed them with barely 10-12 hrs on them. A few weeks later I re-installed them, at startup for about 45... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @vivatubes ...The E-6SN7 is an incredible tube and we hope that they conitnue to expand their line. Every single tube that we sell is genuine and we go through great lengths to ensure this... What is your testing process and procedure bef... | |
| Cable curmudgeon @rodman99999 SO MANY variables and: life’s SO SHORT! Happy listening! +10, best insight yet. Could not agree more. 👍 | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @jl1ny with your digi coax and ICs, I would likely prefer the speaker cables you have right now. If I may say, I don't think I'd opt change a thing. Smooth up front, in the middle, and wide open transparency in the back. Very nice as-is. | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @jl1ny you might be okay with those, not too bad at all, and circling back on other areas to mess with next. What ICs do you have from source(s) to pre/amp now? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I wonder if Viva got a bad batch all from the same lot (giant box o’ tubes), rattled apart or something maybe from a dropped box in shipping from afar. Who knows, they’ll have to answer to you’all on that. Over the years had good luck with them, h... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray , I just went there and saw a few pairs listed. Globe Balloons and Black plate pairs listed, both. Could be sporadic supply or them playing games making it look like they are low inventory to get people to buy "last few pairs" each day. T... | |
| Zavfino Fusion versus Cardas Clear/Refection: anyone compare? 2021 A'gon thread here: Quote: @sdl4 "Because my early listening favored the sound of the Fusion over the Arcadia, I spent more time with the Fusion and made direct comparisons with my reference XLR, the Cardas Clear Reflection. In comparison to... | |
| Wireworld Eclipse 8 compared to Analysis Plus Solo Crystal @vinylvalet and some might say truly great designs can last over decades, done right the first time. A good friend was sharing this week how an overseas manufacturer of a posh brand of cars has had 3 different part numbers for ignition starters pa... | |
| Wireworld Eclipse 8 compared to Analysis Plus Solo Crystal @vinylvalet Which ones did you have? AP makes Chocolate Oval-In, Oval One, Copper Oval-In Micro, Solo Crystal Oval, Silver Apex and each model is a different design, different metallurgy, and each sounds different from one to the next. And nota... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @coachpoconnor After reading this entire thread, I’ve decided to order a set Linlai E-6sn7. I recently purchased a SLP-98; ... Forgot to ask, did you buy two or four of the Linlai 6SN7s? Tip: if you’ve not discovered this yet, and only boug... | |
| Cable curmudgeon audiophiliac Steve G did a video a while back on cables, and said something like "if you see free wire in a garbage can, try it". "If it sounds good to you, good for you." | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @mikey8811 thanks, by chance are your two sets of interconnects close to the same length, where you can swap them and put the Clear Beyond first (DAC>Pre) and the Clear Reflection from (Pre>Amp)? Sometimes I do this to get an idea, where ... |
