| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Quickie test on secondary system shows tube removal works well for original Minimax DAC as well! This is not a definitive answer but good initial result. This is with ALL Opamps IN the machine! I have not tried running the unit with tube out as we... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC ............... :) | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC I should add that if a person is modding the Minimax DAC or DAC Plus then all bets are off in regards to pulling the tube. I'm working with a stock unit and will be speaking about that, as I did with Opamp rolling. At this point I do not plan on O... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC My deepest gratitude to "some folks" as I went down this evening as per your comment, Rob, and removed the tube in the Minimax DAC Plus. Those people are absolutely correct; the resultant improvement is stunning. I rolled one tube, the Siemens Sil... | |
| Can Vandy's get along with cats? Manituc, an interesting thought. I would suggest that one's definition of what "basic humanity" is would dictate whether they agree with your sentiment. A Humanist and a Theist will have radically different conclusions as to what constitutes "basi... | |
| Can Vandy's get along with cats? Wolf, my comment was meant to evoke a strong response, as there were strong moral judgments made previously in the thread. If you feel it's inappropriate because you disagree with it, so be it. :) | |
| Can Vandy's get along with cats? Wolf, I think you missed my sarcasm; I was pointing out the wretchedness of wanton killing of animals and the infant in the womb. Babies in utero assaulting stereos do not enter the picture, at least the picture I was painting. Perhaps you disagre... | |
| Can Vandy's get along with cats? He didn't abuse the cat; he disposed of an unwanted cat, similar to the way unwanted children are aborted. :( | |
| Magnepan 3.6 VS Leagcy Focus A bit of sagely experience; If you find yourself over time flipping back and forth between technologies, just bite the bullet and own both types of speakers - if you have the space. It will yield far more enjoyment/satisfaction and cost you no mor... | |
| Piano and Trumpet can sound bright Weren't you asking recently about a speaker change? It appears you didn't change out the speakers. Well... I believe at least a couple people, myself included, told you that the Celestion speakers were harsh in the treble as they are older metal d... | |
| New DAC or new cable? I AM FULLY AWAKE NOW! (Inside joke) ;) This is actually a very good/pertinent question, one which is not nearly as simply answered as one might think. You do not want to do the conversion between RCA/XLR in a cable; you will lose tons of informati... | |
| Need advice: Biamping vs. dual bridged monos I have compared this several times with different amps, and universally I have preferred the Mono configuration with bi-wiring to running two Stereo amps. I run two Pathos Classic One MkIII integrateds (reviewed) and always run them Mono when not ... | |
| VAC / Wilson cables Mribob, I do prefer a non-networked cable to networked, based on the comparisons over many systems. The trade-off in using networked cables and conditioning systems seems to be improvement of macrodynamics at the expense of definition/detail. I am... | |
| Sabre EE Minimax Plus - Calyx - Audiolab 8200DQ Ad on to the previous; I look back at the comment I made and think, "What was going through my mind?" It reminds me of the rule I instituted in regards to system building. When I get very tired I will not conduct work on setting up a system. One t... | |
| Sabre EE Minimax Plus - Calyx - Audiolab 8200DQ Al, egg on my face; went brain dead; yes, the AES/EBU is input not out. I used it with the orignal version and should have rechecked prior to commenting. Mea Culpa... |
