| Leben CS 600 and Harbeth vs Audio Note vs ATC vs JM Reynaud Which audio note? Which Harbeth? ATC? Reynaud? | |
| VAC 160i SE vs Audio Research GSi75 I owned both amps albeit with several years in between and the systems were in 2 different homes, different speakers, sources, wire, etc. With that caveat, they are both terrific but very different. The Vac, built like a tank, exceptional company ... | |
| The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up @janehamble Fair enough then. Your problem is with @teajay and I gather had he never done the Lab12 review, you would have no problem?I appreciate you taking the time to reply and if I somehow triggered the snarkiness at the end of your first sent... | |
| The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up @janehamble What is it you are saying exactly? Its no news at all that 6moons charges a fee to review a piece of gear. Is it your position that by doing so it should invalidate their findings? The fee is charged up front along with other rules gov... | |
| The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up @janehamble Thank you for the kind reply. I do not disagree with you in the least....in general. I do, however, disagree with you specifically as it relates to @teajay for the following reasons.he has an impeccable reputation here on Audiogon. He ... | |
| The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up @janehamble Your post throwing shade at @teajay may have been an attempt at humor but why does everyone have to be so aggressive, cynical or unkind? Buy it or don’t buy it, nobody cares, least of all Teajay. Everything he has recommended (based on... | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500 Regarding proper ventilation and cooling of tube equipment, or class A amplification for that matter, everyone should consider a company called AC Infinity.I own their Controller 8 and four of their 140mm fans. The controller comes with four zone ... | |
| best under $1000 digital front end new or used? The original Chord Hugo would be great as it has a great headphone section and decodes almost every format. Can be used as a preamp as well. For a little more, the Border Patrol DAC and the MHDT Orchid seem to be checking alot of boxes for alot of... | |
| Black Cat Cable's/Coppertone wires are amazing good! I have both Coppertone interconnects and Coppertone speaker cables. They are seriously good and I agree wholeheartedly with Teejay. I have also had a variety of other cables in and out of my system through the years at all price points and I have... | |
| Is Pre-Amp needed George, your absolute assertions are not absolute for all equipment. The ARC preamp provides more of everything, especially the layering of instruments. Put a great preamp in your system and see for yourself. If you dont like it then you have only... | |
| Is Pre-Amp needed https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=377&v=Dh27E7YKN9sI guess it depends on your definition. If your DAC/Source has a volume control then you are using a preamp. It may be rudimentary or elaborate but it is nonetheless a preamp. Some Da... | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? @astelmaszek Best wishes and I'm glad we can agree to disagree, which is cool. The Dave and the Focals are a great match, they play to each other's strengths.By the way, how come Chord doesn't demonstrate their dacs with the free usb cables they p... | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? @astelmaszek Get 2 identical dacs, get a $5 USB cable and just a mid tier USB cable and feed them both with a Roon feeding both the same music. switch between them on your pre and I promise they will sound different. I’m not saying which will be b... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. "Does MP3 sounds better with better DAC than red book CD?"No. | |
| Selling Tubes. Ive always found that Brent Jessee is fair in his prices paid. He has to make a profit but he also tests, grades and sells a high quality tube. I typically sell to him for credit and buy from him to fill a need. |
