| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Thanks Melm. I like the Lumin also due to its recent release. Streamers seem to be improving drastically very quickly. The guy from Vinshine said that a DDC wasn’t needed for Lumin/Venus 2 combo due to the very low jitter produced by the Lumin and... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Now you’re adding another option to the list. Great! Lol | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I have recently replaced my entire system. To get started on the digital end, I purchased a Cambridge cxn v2, had it modded from ModWright for tubes and have a Topping d90. I wanted each extreme so I could determine the sound I wanted in the end. ... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET Thank you Charles. It’s nice to have access to knowledgeable people like Aric and forum members. I certainly would not have headed in this direction otherwise. It’s been quite the eye opening sonic discovery. | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET I just wanted to share my latest Aric Audio update. Picked up a Super 6sn7 Linestage today. Upgrades include the Khozmo motorized remote volume controller, Jensen input transformers and one set of fully differential XLR Inputs, ClarityCap TC serie... | |
| Aric Audio's Motherlode II line-stage keep me up all last night I get an error message bugredmachine. I’d love know know your system. I have used the 6sn7 Linlai’s in the amp. Will be cool to hear the difference when shifted from amp to preamp. This will be my first tube preamp and I’ve read that tube rolling ... | |
| Aric Audio's Motherlode II line-stage keep me up all last night I believe Aric posted the amp with many of the updates on his Facebook page if you’re interested. | |
| Aric Audio's Motherlode II line-stage keep me up all last night Hey yobi. Aric added quite a lot on the amp and I asked if it was a good idea to match upgrades. He suggested Jupiter copper foil caps, Clarity Cap TC capacitors and transformer. I’d have to go back to the amp notes to see which transformer he upg... | |
| Aric Audio's Motherlode II line-stage keep me up all last night Looking forward to seeing what it adds to the sound. Some want completely passive. I would like to think this will add dynamics or range. Who knows? I can’t imagine anything other than adding more goodness to something that already is great. | |
| Aric Audio's Motherlode II line-stage keep me up all last night Reviving an old thread I came upon while reading about Aric’s preamps. I have the Custom 300B pset and couldn’t leave well enough alone. The amp sounds so good I thought to myself, how good would it sound with a kick ass preamp. So, I spoke to Ari... | |
| Tube or solid state Nothing like a little tube humor in the morning oddiofyl. Lol i guess it’s an individual preference but not sure how someone would not enjoy this sound I guess they would say, you’ve never heard great ss. I never have I know I’ve heard this 300... | |
| Tube or solid state Thanks for the reply ghdprentice. I’ve just got a few bad ones right out of the gate that’s all. Hopefully, smooth sailing for years. As I mentioned, I’d hate to give up this sound. This 300b is so easy and relaxing to listen to. | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh I’m not sure if someone mentioned it, but subs always help. Harbeths are nice but may not handle the new room. 2 Rel s510’s would do the trick. That’s the route I’m heading as well. Sitting in front in listening chair, my system is awesome. In the... | |
| Tube or solid state I’ve had ss for 25 years and now tube amp and dac. I love the sound. To my ears it’s light years ahead of anything I’ve heard, which is not much admittedly. I can see tube replacement and related issues growing tiresome though. I’d like to get a s... | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? If we look at it from a nostalgic point of view, yes. Oh that smooth, velvety sound of the 70’s. Just plug in an old system and it’s often not what we remember. I think there was excellent gear back then but not at common man prices. Today, you c... |
