| Preamp Deal of the Century So, I sold my Syrah, w/ NOS tubes, and the receiver (a really great guy), w/ Avantguard Duos, Audiomeca Mephisto, custom 300b amp, said that in his system, the Syrah was clearly beaten out by the Audioprism Mantissa. Although he said the Syrah was... | |
| What's after Supratek well, i ended up getting a great price on a VAC Renaissance pre w/ MM/MC phono, so I went with it... and sold the Syrah. Worked out well financially, we'll see how it fares sonically! | |
| What's after Supratek Yeh, I'm definitely curious to hear about how the Welborne fares. It should be on the market in the next few weeks. I've been conversing with Mick about using it if I go with another pre from him, and he said that he's actually thinking of using i... | |
| I have problem with my Tenor150 - advices welcome have you tried the dealer where you made the purchase? i'd be curious to hear what they suggest. | |
| What's after Supratek Instead of a VAC Renaissance pre as an upgrade to my Supratek Syrah, how about a Supratek Cortese with a Welborne remote attenuatorRon says it will sound at least as nice as a DACT, and it has only one resistor in the signal path (your choice of r... | |
| What's after Supratek hey Jond, I'm surprised you feel the Herron bettered your Syrah. Did you have any NOS tubes? Any obvious differences in sound between the two setups? | |
| KT100 is better than KT88? I think you mean KT90? | |
| What's after Supratek Must have tubes, so the H-Cat is out. Sorry, but I have never liked solid state. And I can't live without a remote. It's helpful to hear about your comparison with your Jadis. No balance control, and no dual volume pots isn't an issue for me. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? :) i thought sammie's comment was funny. like, as in sarcasm? | |
| DV-50s vs Krell SACD Standard vs Denon 3910 mod Maybe the Exemplar sounded better to TBG because he has a different system, and values different musical presentations? I'd be curious to hear the differences in presentations between the Exemplar, the Modwright and the APL. Each of these units ha... | |
| "Analog" = bloated, rolled off, soft and mushy? before this turns into a tubes vs. SS thread... can anyone speak to the sonic signatures of the modwright, apl, and exemplar modded universal players? and what does it mean, when someone says, it's the most "analog" sounding player? | |
| "Analog" = bloated, rolled off, soft and mushy? I've only heard one tubed CD player, BAT VK D5SE, (we've had a discussion about it), and it was definitely warm. It's my only experience with tubed cd players, and it has made me questioning if they are generally like the BAT. I guess more specifi... | |
| DAC for my HHB Burnit ugh... just what i didn't want to hear alex. well, my other thought, as i still (believe it or not), don't have a dvd player, would be to get a muse model 9, as my player, and use it for dvd playback as well. but i have no idea what it's sonic sig... | |
| DAC for my HHB Burnit At one time I owned an Wadia 860x, which I loved. For whatever reason, it sounded great in my system. I'm guessing the P3a and the Benchmark 1 would be close in sound to the Wadia.The meridian sounds like it'd be too laid back.I'll make sure i get... | |
| DAC for my HHB Burnit Actually, also wanted to ask, if you meant were talking about the Bel Canto 1 or the 2. i think there is a big difference between the two, and i was actually considering the DAC2. |
