| Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records? Onhwy61, the prerecorded cassette transfers were done high speed and suffered terribly from reduced frequency response. Cassette was a dictation medium and its performance was never even close to reel to reel. Someone above mentioned Tandberg but ... | |
| Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records? The real reasons were pretty simple if you think about it and they were durability and production oriented. You can not mass transfer from tape to tape. To high speed dub from tape to tape, you lose frequency response. Significantly so depending o... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Tsushima1, awesome review from your friend. Does this mean you are going to stop typing about the no-brainer upgrade and do it for yourself? What does "actually" mean in your first sentence? Is that to imply that if someone isn't sitting around wr... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Tsushima1, why get so wound up over a tube change from 120's to 150's? Ive heard the ref150 and it is a stunning amplifier out of the box. There is also some serious time involved in life testing. You see, you cant just test 1 set of tubes in 1 am... | |

| Chord Hugo ? Wisnon, agreed on both fronts.....whomever made the comment(if it was in fact made) that the Hugo was better than the Lampizator 7 was probably just another troll, desperately needing to communicate and appear like they were some sort of expert.Ss... | |
| Chord Hugo ? Wisnon, thanks for the offer to discuss offline the merits of publishing listening impressions for a piece of gear without ever listening but I simply would rather not, I'm not sure I have the patience to discuss why some people have "special powe... | |
| Chord Hugo ? Wisnon, thanks for the clarification. To recap: your friend is selling his Hugo because he believes it to be a little lean (his opinion matters in his system) however he is going to purchase the desktop version of the Hugo when it comes out becaus... | |
| Chord Hugo ? Wisnon, certainly no offense was intended personally with my snide commentary tossed your way. I use sarcasm often as a way of pointing out something that should be called out for its disconnect with logic. I was merely trying to point out that yo... | |
| Chord Hugo ? Wisnon, I was snide toward you for a couple of reasons. First, your comment touting your expertise when it is obvious you haven't personally listened to a Hugo. That doesn't help your credibility.Second, in reviewing your participation with these ... | |
| Chord Hugo ? Wisnon, so, you've made your point that you are positive that the Hugo is not better than a Big7. I'll concede since I've never heard a Lampizator and likely never will. Once again, no one is saying that it is! It's probably not competitive with a... | |
| Chord Hugo ? No one is comparing the Hugo to a Lampi here but lets make a couple of things very clear: it is at an entirely different level from the Qute line, this is a reference caliber dac. I listened to both versions of the Qute and its a really good dac, ... | |
| Chord Hugo ? I know what you mean, the head-fi community is quite active. One problem here that will probably prohibit the Chord Hugo from penetrating the market too much is that it is simply not big enough nor "audiophile" enough. It doesn't benefit from an e... | |
| Chord Hugo ? Some of what you have read here on Audiogon may have been from me. I am listening to the Chord Hugo on my main rig as I type this. It is really an amazing dac and while I have listened to the headphone outputs, Im not really a headphone listener s... |
