| When were the best tube amps made? I love my VAC Renaissance 70/70 Mk II, it's 20 years old and still works great However I am taking it back to Florida this January to get the latest MKIIIs updates, then it will out live me! Handmade in the USA! | |
| Has anyone compared the Dinafrips Terminator II to the Terminator +? @sro That is the combination I am working toward. I want a black T II 12th to replace my Venus II. I am saving up for it in the spring in April. I already have the Hermes, then I can do the clock sync. I also have the I2s connection already. Intu... | |
| Wireworld Electra 7 @ryder @jafant @vinylvalet @hilroy48 My Silver Electra 7 now has about 75 hours on it. (It’s Used) It’s really making a positive impact on my system. It’s located on my DAC. My Electra 7 is located on my DDC unit. My second Silver Electra 7 is o... | |
| The Right Speaker Cables @sgunther @derfman66 I have the Triton 1.r and use the Silversmith Fidelium cables with them, if you can stretch your budget to them you will be done. You won't need to consider future upgrade paths. They will astonish you. | |
| Wireworld Electra 7 @vinylvalet I found it in spam and sent the money, thanks for responding here!! I need to be smarter and ck that when expecting an email. DUH! Looking forward to the WW S7, it's going on my CD Transport. | |
| Wireworld Electra 7 @jafant @ryder I got my Silver Electra yesterday and placed it on my DAC. I left it on overnight and gave a listen today. Quicker dynamics, more transparency so far. 20 hours on it, but its used so I don’t know how much time it will need. Treble... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? @hilroy48 I am in the process of scooping up Wireworld Silver Electra 7's for my front end components. I just found another one today and am hoping to finish that transaction. I have another one arriving today, a 2M for my DAC. I have an E7 on my... | |
| Where to place your best switch? @audphile1 The Rubicon has stopped production due to supply chain issues. Thank you. Since I have the LHY sw-5 already coming from Alvin Chee - I will place it at the end of the long cat 8 run, then use a HQ .5 m silver wire ethernet cable to Eno... | |
| Where to place your best switch? Well I ordered a 1/2 meter silver ethernet cable to place between the switch and the Eno's filter, so I will put the best switch next to the system and give that a go. | |
| Silversmith Fidelium I have owned a pair for about 8 months and I really like them as well. Between my VAC tube amp and Goldenear Triton 1.r speakers. | |
| Has anyone compared the Dinafrips Terminator II to the Terminator +? Steve Huff now has a review of the Terminator Plus 12th. | |
| Wireworld Electra 7 @jafant @ryder Today I scored a 2 M Silver Electra 7 for my DAC at 50% MSRP! The Electra 7 is currently on my DDC unit. It (SE7) should be here sometime next week. Thanks for the feedback, I've been searching for one ever since you two reported... | |
| Where should I go from here with my digital front end? The Eno filter made a big difference in my system. (Router>.5 ft Cat 8> switch > 30 ft Cat 8 > ENO > Streamer) | |
| 4 ohm tap vs 8 ohm tap FWIW I tried the 4 OHM taps on my setup and although my speakers are rated as "8 ohm compatible" and are more like 4 ohm nominal. I felt they were a bit constrained on the 4 ohm tap and soundstage shrunk a bit. That surprised me. |
