| What is the best CD recorder for around $350 used Pioneer pdr-19rw. The only comparable model would be the Marantz (I forget the exact model # but it has the number 17 in it)dudeaudio | |

| transport for Chord DAC64 I agree with the Vecteur 2.2You cannot beat this transport for the moneydudeaudio | |
| Different types of Mullard CV4004? It is news....thanks. Does that mean the Military designated tubes will sound superior? When would these tubes have been made? Wish I was in Hawaii!!!!!Thanks Terrydudeaudio | |
| AN CDT Two Vs CEC TL-2X Vs North Star 192 I cant comment about the other two, but my Vecteur D2.2 blew away the highly praised CECTL-2x using a Kora Hermes dac. More detail and better seperation between instruments.dudeaudio | |
| XLO Reference 5 vs XLO Signature 5.1 Hello. I own the Ultra12's and Reference 5a. Both are incredible cables for the money. The 5a is more refined, smoother and yet more detailed, with better highs, and bass is slightly tighter. My ultra12's blew away Kimber 4tc and 8tc by the way...... | |
| Tube Preamps under $1000 used Copland CTA301 MKII. $900-$1200 used, nothing compares.dudeaudio | |
| Anthem CD-1; Best Tube??? HowdyI own the modified Anthem CD1 (modified by Sonic Frontiers)and have played around with about 15 different tubes. My favorite tubes are Amerex PQ white labels, Siemens 7308, and Telefunken CCa's. Especially the Tele's. But if your looking for ... | |
| Why my system has detail but no body & warm vocal? My old system was thin and bright. I changed my speaker cables from Kimber 4tc (which has NO bass by the way) to XLO Pro 12. Warmth, and body came back to my system in a big way, with much better soundstaging and imaging to boot!dudeaudio | |
| Best small speaker Acoustic Energy AE1 Signatures, considered by many to be 1 of the top 10 mini moniters of all time. Not made anymore and hard to find used, guess no one is selling theirs.....I'm not selling mineThe AE1 MkII offers perhaps 85-90% of the performanc... | |
| Recommended Amp for Acoustic Energy AE1 II I've heard my AE1 signatures on Roksan equipment and did not like it, to soft with no dynamics, (dynamics being a major strength of this speaker). I loved the AE1's on a Bryston 3bsst amp with a copland CTA 301 MkII tubed preamp, but didnt like th... | |
| A pair of "warm sounding"6922 tub Hey againThere is a tube dealer that goes by the name 'fletchj' on Audiogon. Do a username search then give this guy an email. He knows all there is to know about Amperex tubes, and most other tubes as well. dudeaudio | |
| A pair of "warm sounding"6922 tub I've tube rolled about 20 different 6dj8 tubes in the last year, and I've learned a few things....I've yet to meet a Mullard I like, they all have no top end extension to my ears, and some are seriously lacking in dynamics and initial transients. ... | |
| Tube Headphone Amp. Getting Started. Sorry, Misread the post, thought you wanted to buy, not build a tube amp, I was drinking.The Earmax still is amazing though!dudeaudio | |
| Tube Headphone Amp. Getting Started. Earmax Pro. Beats my Grada RA1. More musical, less fatiguing, less hi-fi sounding, better seperation of instruments, omg that midrange...... Mated with my HD600's (with the Cardass cable mod)and Pioneer PD65 source, the sound is spectacular for th... |
