| Borresen Loudspeakers @bmwalpina I don’t know how you feel, but if you know that someone about to sell you something with 80% mark up... do you still feel good buying it? If I like something and I feel it is worth it to me then I dont particularly care what som... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers @bmwalpina You must not be their target market for the $500k speaker. Im not either. Doesnt mean they arent worth it to someone who is. @roxy54 I think deep must be on tilt. | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers @deep_333 My neighbor has a cat, which is equally as relevant as the speakers you've owned. I'm not a Borresen fan or foe, never heard them or seen them. The gentleman who started this thread and many others like what they heard... I am, howev... | |
| Raven Osprey 3.1 vs Leben cs600 The Leben is built to an heirloom quality standard as you know. The transformers, the parts quality, the sound, the versatility with power tubes, etc. Its hard to beat. Ive owned it several times and I always miss it if I am without one. You ... | |
| Signal tube versus power tube, sound impact? Some tough supply chain decisions were made during the pandemic. NOS tubes are going to get harder to source every year. Hopefully CJ has a plan for that inevitability. | |
| Signal tube versus power tube, sound impact? Manufacturers must spec a tube that is currently manufactured and readily available in bulk. In addition, with the uncertainty surrounding Russia and China trade channels, a European built tube like the JJ is both politically expedient and more re... | |
| Raven Osprey 3.1 vs Leben cs600 Has your brother heard your Leben? Is yours the 600 or the 600x? The reason I ask is the small tubes in the 600x allow a little change in flavor by rolling the 12au7 tubes. | |
| NSMT = OMG!! I’ve never heard NSMT speakers however I have done business with Mike Kay and Audio Archon. Mike is one of the good guys and his integrity is beyond reproach. Any insinuation otherwise is unfair and inaccurate. | |
| Looking for recommendations for integrated with a more “organic” sound. Congrats @earworm22 the Sugden will serve you well. Glad it checks your boxes and as you get to know the sound, there will be more in store. Best wishes. | |
| Linn Classik cd/tuner/ integrated amplifier 37-38 wpc at 4ohms. It was cool 20 years ago, its marginal by todays standards. Toslink in was neat at the time…I can only imagine the jitter. | |
| Breaking (burning) in new DAC Betting the circuits can take 50-100 hours depending on the capacitor values etc. Breaking in depends on the individual …. | |
| Ways to make your digital streaming sound better @ditkaditkaditka Its not really clear from your posts….are you a fan of fiber? | |
| Signal tube versus power tube, sound impact? I guess "expensive" is relative. Brent's prices aren't out of line if you are willing to buy genuine vacuum tubes built to exacting standards from a time when the manufacturing of valves was at its apex....I believe a NOS Mullard or Bugle Boy 12ax... | |
| Signal tube versus power tube, sound impact? Start with the small tubes/preamp tubes. If you go with power tubes first, you will correctly wonder if you are hearing them for what they are...and the answer is no. Marginal signal tubes fed to exceptional power tubes stands a better chance of r... | |
| Berkeley Audio Design and MQA? @ptss did you make a purchase based on someone else’s words or are you just bothered by someone else’s words. I don’t know anyone who did make a purchase based on MQA being present although I’m certain there is a long line of Meridien owners who m... |
