| Redbook Keeps Surprising PCM still rules, maybe the format it's carried on can be updated (CD) but re-played with a dac with R2R Mulitbit converter, there is still no equal.http://www.mojo-audio.com/blog/dsd-vs-pcm-myth-vs-truth/ Make sure you read at the bottom:"When a P... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising You would be really impressed with Redbook (PCM) using with todays ideas of I/V (current to voltage) conversion with proper R2R Multibit dacs, as they are "bit perfect" for PCM conversion. Instead of using Delta Sigma based convertors in most of t... | |
| Bass traps - too many choices!! It's an active trap, so it's got specialized room correction electronics inside, until they become mainstream (copied), they can charge that much.Cheers George | |
| Shindo Aurieges with Pass Labs x250.5 A friend a couple of years ago brought a smaller Pass labs Power amp ( don’t remember the model)The impedance mismatch was there when I listened to the Auriges/Pass combo and as I said it sounded outstanding.If you don’t remember your friends mode... | |
| bryston b100sst as pre-amp Why not try using the Oppo 105 direct, using it’s own volume control, you may even find that you like it better than having any preamp in between. As it has low output impedance (which is perfect impedance match for any poweramp/s) and more than e... | |
| Shindo Aurieges with Pass Labs x250.5 BTW the Shindo's 5kohm output impedance would be fine with their own amps, as they range from 100kohm to 250kohm input impedance.Cheers George | |
| Another "Which DAC?" thread. +1 with sbank and gdnrbob.If your going with Redbook, PCM download, or CD replay then stay with the Multibit dacs, as they do a "bit perfect" conversion of it. Dsd dacs only give a facsimile (approximation) of it and don’t sound as good doing it. ... | |
| Shindo Aurieges with Pass Labs x250.5 Your Shindo is 5kohm!!! output impedance, (Stereophile "manufacturer's specified output impedance is 5k ohms") and really should be used with amps that are 50kohm or higher input impedance. The Pass X250.5 from what I could find is 20kohms and rea... | |
| Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK Hey it's not voodoo, all they do is to damp the cheap thin glass of todays new tubes from ringing, nothing else. Nothing inside of the metal tube structure itself anodes, cathodes, grids, getters, heaters ect, as that stuff is all bonded to the ba... | |

| Halcro DM10 repair http://i.imgur.com/aViBjTL.jpgThis should be illegal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
| Halcro DM10 repair They still support and do repairs last time my mates DM70’s went down, about a year ago.Pick your country. http://halcro.com/dealers Cheers George | |
| Neg feedback switch All tube amp should have this option, as it’s a few dollars in parts and easy to do.I used to put them on my tube amps, on or off. And yes no/less feedback = more amplifier gain. When the feedback was switched on, I also had a dial you could turn ... | |
| Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK If going down this path, don't buy "audiophile" ones that rip you a new one with pricing. Just pick your poison from here.http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC2.A0.H0.Xsilicon+O+rings.TRS0&_nkw=silico... | |
| COAX Cable length 1.5 meters Also to ad to Al's comments, make sure it's proper 75ohm cable as many are 100ohm, and yes the bnc connection is a 75ohm, where rca are not.Cheers George |
