| PrimaLuna Prologue 5 and tube upgrades Nothing getting through above 18K and you think that matters? You must be very young. Or of the canine persuasion. :-) | |
| Review: Herron VTSP-3A R02 Linestage You might think about posting this in the Reviews category.Great review by the way, as usual. My earlier response also disappeared. Maybe I'll reconstruct it at a later time. | |
| Last Preamp? Could The Search Finally Be Over? Excellent review, as always. Thanks.Are you able to listen to any of your sources in a direct-to-amp configuration? I ask because I've always found that to be a very telling way to know how truly transparent to the source a preamp is. Of course, t... | |
| PreAmp recomendation please... Tobb -- I believe the Sanders Sound electronics are based on or built by Coda. I wonder if the Sanders pre, at $4K, is close to the 7X.Looking forward to your review, Dodgealum. | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers Yeah, that's pretty much where I settled out on this. But you know how the audiophile mind works...the siren song of upgrades always beckons. | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers I have the SC-III.A, which is the final cabinet design and model name for the Athena-Aletha-Cantata series. I've been mulling upgrades (xover resistors to start, plus the binding posts) but I get cold feet. Improvements are always possible and wel... | |
| My Bricasti M1 expereince...... Lucky you! I've been looking for comparisons of the Bricasti with the Meitner MA-1, which I think should be similar but presumably not as good as the EMM, so your comments are helpful. The Calyx FEMTO is another in that price ballpark. | |
| Speakers for EL34 amp: $1,500 - $2,000 +1 on the Harbeth P3ESR. I drive them with a PrimaLuna Prologue 5 fitted with EL34s. | |
| When your system gets a cold odd response, MrT.I can definitely relate to your experience. From time to time, I find my system stops sounding its best. Usually it's become not more bright but more dull and has a sound I think of as "sour." All of the fixes you tried are possi... | |
| Is the ''entry level'' DAC becoming extinct ? I actually think it's just the opposite -- we are seeing a flood of new, highly capable DACs. This is driven by the demand for asynch USB connection and, it now appears, for DSD playback. That the Oppo offers some of these features just puts it in... | |
| I feel like an idiot; lessons learned One takeaway from the OP's ordeal is the importance of speaker rake angle. Some people claim it's the most important part of the Sumiko Master Set procedure. | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test One thing to be mindful of as you experiment is that any change you make in the height of the speaker or its rake angle will affect the sound. |
