| Cheap/expensive or expensive/cheap? three_easy_payments A good system with a bad power cable will sound better than a bad system with a good power cable. Same applies to all other cables. Yes, cables make a difference but they aren’t going to move the needle as much as fantastic pr... | |
| Wilson Audio isolation footers Just use Sobothane pads your pocket will thank you. Different densities for different weights. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=Sorbothane+disc&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=Sorbot... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated Nelson Pass is the Class-A master, and he says the Inter 60 has 30w-8ohms of Class-A on it and he uses that size of "external" heat sinks for it to dissipate that heat, and they do run very hot. Then the smaller "internal" heatsinks of the Lux are... | |
| Infinity QLS 4 Without going to the two box IRS Beta, these Gamma’s were my favorite manageable Infinity. They had scale, imaging and depth qualities that not much could match. As with most of their higher end range of speakers both these Infinity's needed high ... | |
| Best route to go for new dac? Best route to go for new dac? R2R Multibit for a real sound and make sure it’s got a volume control, to go direct into amp with, as many including me think it sounds better with better transparency and dynamics,Cheers George | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated The Luxman 590 bench tested to 90 w into 8 ohm in one of the reviews Can you post a link to this review please?Not in Class-A, Class-B maybe if the rail volts are higher than for 30w which is unlikely as the heat factor goes up exponentially with ... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line I own the Tubadour III SE. Its staying .. not going anywhere .. not for sale. Best Dac I have ever owned .... so musical. A good R2R dac that's why.Cheers George | |
| Solid states more accurate than tubes? Solid states more accurate than tubes?You ask for "accuracy", which means NO coloration’s.Of coarse they are, any "good" solid state is more accurate than "good" tubes, especially into medium to hard to drive speakers. An OTL tube amp into very ea... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated ramon74 Don’t think anything could touch the Mark Levinson ML2 25w-8ohm monoblocks to a given volume level.https://img.usaudiomart.com/uploads/large/2229206-5c605986-mark-levinson-ml2.jpghttps://www.hifido.co.jp/photo/05/504/50446/c.jpgBut I would... | |
| Quad ESL 57 with subwoofer noromance OP @georgehifi Nice but they don’t have high-level inputs which won’t work for me. Pity, the more I just looked into them the more they make me want a pair, they even use Hypex Class-D amps. From some review literature the sound of the... | |
| Passive preamp smodtactical How come passives are not more popular? Everyone seems to use active and seems more commonly made as well. They are, and now going direct because so many sources now have volume controls are taking over from them now. But if you don’... | |
| Crown D-150A series 2: help For now I can't turn it on because it's missing the fuse 6.25A MDX (easy to replace). The bigger problem is that it's also missing the fuse holder: part # C5597A5 Should really be bought back up very slowly with a variac and monitored with te... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line Maybe I'll buy the Brooklyn after I've gotten R2R out of my system, who knows! Never, once bitten by a good R2R dac your hooked for good, they just sound more real.Cheers George | |
| Any thoughts on Denafrips Terminator Plus Certainly has a lot of goods in there, httcertainlyps://www.denafrips.com/terminator-pluswould have to be an outstanding nobrainer to just edge a bit ahead of the older R2R.Cheers George | |
| Quad ESL 57 with subwoofer noromance OP I was thinking of something like a pair of REL T5i. Nice but I think two of these will be better and faster 2 x 8" and servo controlled.http://www.rythmikaudio.com/FM8.htmlCheers George |
