| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @aldnorab its possible you may notice more change after 100hrs. I thought my Psvanes were done settling after 60-75hrs, nope. Maybe after 100hrs it was still smooth, noticed a wee-tiny bit more bit transparency coming through, something new I did ... | |
| This cable game is making my head spin "Cardas are warm, accentuate the bass relative to the details and can hide some noice / hash from some overly detailed electronics." No, not all Cardas are warm. Depends on which cable model/version you are referring to. Having owned, tested... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray for comparison, I would not characterize the bass on the Gray Glass / Gold base CV181 MKII Psvanes as being tight or super fast either. It’s not flabby, yet slightly more on the "bloomy" side, which I like. I have been sort of looking for ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray curious to learn more from your feedback on the blue globe Psv. I now have well over 150hrs on the Gray/Gold PSV CV181 premium pair tubes in my preamp. They are a unique tube, different from everything else in my stash. They are not crisp... | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes @vishu ...asked me to take it to Edmonton 300 Kms away to their dealer. I am going this morning and will keep you all posted. How was the trip to the dealer in Edmonton back on 4/17 - were they of any help, any luck? Curios to learn more about... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @grislybutter now with your more revealing amplifier in play, and sources in review by you, one other thought will drive some silly. I will ask anyhow. Its likely I missed it, and apologize if so... What interconnect RCA cables are you using now ... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @grislybutter as you learn about DACs, you’ll find a subset of folks in search of DAC units trying to make regular 16-bit CDs sound closer to vinyl. And other camps who are into hi-res, oversampling. Different roads to take. Take your time learnin... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @grislybutter what source do you play from most, phono/turntable, CD, streamer, other? | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade @grislybutter Under the hood, do you see those big donut torroidal transformers on each side?, and the two mosfet output transistors screwed into those heat sinks on each side... A nice dual mono class AB design. Letting those transformers bake an... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @russ69 ..."One camp thinks they are finished after the measurements take place and the other camp starts going to work after that point." Exactly. I too see it as a starting point for the designers with a different passion. Those who design... | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade A different point of view. There is an old review out there comparing the A3.2 to the former MF A300, and reviewers indicated something that reminds me of how a 2252B will sound warmer closer to an MF A300. However there is praise the A3.2 brings ... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Some engineers don't listen or want to. Many are in it only in it for the specs, not the music. The special designers with golden ears are a rare breed any more. | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? "What if there are two dozen cars that go fast, handle great, and stop good? You gonna waste your time test driving all of them? Or does it make more sense to filter them first?" Yes, and not a waste of time to drive all of them, if you can. Sp... | |
| This cable game is making my head spin @blue_collar_audio_guy if that’s where the last change occurred, focus there yet there can be a double-up effect if you run the same cables at source/pre and pre/amp if its already headed in a certain taming direction you don’t like. Fwiw, while ... | |
| This cable game is making my head spin @blue_collar_audio_guy ...I want to streamline all my cables so I bought a pair of Audio Sensibility impact se interconnects. Same make as my phono cable. When I put them in between the preamp and amp I was shocked how dull and lifeless the so... |
