| unbeatable Class A integrated SS amps that sounds close to a 2a3 tube amp Probably a used Pass Labs Cl;ass-A Aleph, but they are room heaters.Cheers George | |
| CD Transport VS Streamer No ideas left, except maybe it’s a faulty CXC. As I found the opposite to what you hear between A/Bing streaming and a cd transport. A real guru on digital hooking up was a guy named Joko Homo a telecommunications genius, who is also an audio nute... | |
| Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? singintheblues Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? If you want organic / real / analogue sounding, find a used "good reviewed" R2R dac with with volume control ability.Cheers George | |
| CD Transport VS Streamer The transport / cd should def sound better than the bluesound so I don’t know whats going on here. The highs on the cxc (and the cdt) are rolled off in comparison to the bluesound.Rolling off the highs??? this is strange Bruce, maybe it's the S... | |
| Tone controls? Sorry about the heresy. The Schiit Loki EQ didn’t exist 11 years ago when this thread was started, but it does now and it’s an amazing little thing +1 for this, it’s all you needHere's what it can do, and it's very transparent. https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/ind... | |
| CD Transport VS Streamer @georgehifi, so what I’m hearing you say is the cxc is a better transport? Just from what I mentioned you get for your $, but then I have not A/B them. I was thinking about the digital coax cable as well. Any buddies have a good CD player/tra... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated New CODA CSiB 1st 18 watts in Class A Wow!! Very nice unit, even looking at this one can see what amount of heat sinking is required.https://img.audiofanzine.com/images/u/product/normal/coda-continuum-csib-192198.pnghttps://cdn.shopify.com/s/files... | |
| CD Transport VS Streamer Do you think this cxc just needs to burn in Quality of the digital link cable maybe. George, I was comparing the innards of the CDT to the CXC Audiolabs insides, just a slot load "DVD rom drive" and no special servo's like the CXC says it'... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated Fact is most techs (I’m a EE) wouldn’t make any such assumptions If you read what I said. "Fact is any tech will tell you these amps "look" to be the same" save for the differences I mentioned.Look!!!! to be the operative word here. Like I said y... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated Whatever, the doubters obviously have not done much work on amps to see it. (can't see the forest for the trees) | |
| CD Transport VS Streamer Sorry, different for us , when we've spent the day comparing. Highs always sounded a little etched/forward from owners that brought equipment to my place. We compared on my ESL's with either streaming the same version if we can find the same least... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated No I’m not disputing the reviews by two different reviewers on different systems.As for the specs (not full tests as Stereophile do) they don’t prove the amps are not cast from the same mold, but for differing rail voltage, wattage output and bias... | |
| Luxman 590axii vs Pass Labs int 60 Of course they are spec’ed different and sound different, one is a 120w-8ohm powerhouse because of the higher rails the other not. They have different + and - rail volts, different wattage, and different bias. What I’m saying if you care to study ... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated You can find the gryphon diablo 300 used for that price. Great amp the Gryphon, will drive anything and does give a taste of Class-A sound, but it’s an entree and not the main meal like 30w> Class-A could give. When you hear something like the... | |
| Luxman 590axii vs Pass Labs int 60 509X sounds nothing like the 590AXII which is what the OP is asking about. If you look here they are basically the same amp, using different rail voltage that's all, which gives different wattage's and biasing. The 509 has a cover over the t... |
