| Chord DAVE DAC Recently my nephew had a Chord Dave and replaced it with a Lampizator Baltic 3. It was a marked improvement in SQ in his system. I liked the difference so much I went and bought the Lampi Big 7 mk2. It's just so much more organic and natural so... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? Ideon Audio 3R Master Time Black Star. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Look into some of the simple DIY mods to those Cornwalls. They really make quite a difference in SQ. | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range Lampizator out of Poland. Baltic 3 or Atlantic TRP. A used Big 7 which is the first in the lineup of DHT triode will be in your budget also. | |
| Optical vs Ultra Rendu. Streaming was a mystery for me for years. Called Andrew Gillis from SGC one day and got the full I5 bundle with optical rendu and I had the equipment in 2 days. He set me up remotely and that 2nd night I was streaming Tidal Masters through Roon.... | |
| No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio Rayjugsw I used the VCap ODAMS for the crossover mod. In fact I use those caps for a lot of my mods. They are great for both crossovers and circuits. Always get a nice positive move forward. If you already have caps that's great, but just an ... | |
| No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio Rajugsw There is a nice DIY mod for those Cornwalls that really add to their performance. Involves damping those plastic horns. Bracing the cabinet. And some work on the crossover and wiring. It's a few hundred bucks but it's a good nice pos... | |
| China built tube amps If you are just getting into trying tubes look at the Carver Crimson 275. A giant killer at $2750. KT 120 power tubes (or it 88 or 6550) gets you all kinds of power. Five year warranty on the entire unit including tubes. Change the signal tubes... | |
| Does Anyone Know What is Up with High Fidelity Cables? Just got an email yesterday with all HFC products are now 60% off. And if you by a "signature" product they will upgrade to "3D" for free. | |
| a remarkably basic question about Roon I held off on streaming fir a long time because I didnt know where to start. Small Green Computer kept coming up and I called and talked to Andrew Gillis who has his own line of music servers / Roon cores and also sells the Sonore rendu products ... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? Call Andrew Gillis at Small Green Computer. He told care of this old timer who didn't know squat about setting up streaming. A great experience and great products. | |
| Tube or R-2R DAC for Tube System I've had my Musical Paradise mp DAC mk3 for a while. It has user changeable caps (no soldering) and uses both 5 and 6.3 volt rectifiers, and 12 or 6 volt signal tubes. You can even change the chipsets from AKM's to ESS Pros. I've done a couple ... | |
| Tubes Just received a pair of Linlai Elite 6sn7 tubes for my tube DAC. Excellent sounding tubes. I bought these after hearing some top end 300B power tubes in my nephew's amp. Those were stunning and even beat out the Western Electric reproduction tu... | |
| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? I recently got a pair of Cornwall IV's and the first thing I did was follow the mods that are posted. The horns have a plastic housing that I dampened with dynamat and I also braced up the cabinets. Nice change and took some of the harshness out... | |
| Best Way To Maximize Preamp Tube Life? I also have the DS preamp and the 6by5 and its variants are anywhere from 6 to 20 bucks for NOS that should last 8 to 10k hours...at least. The 6sn7 tube is not in short supply and aren't very expensive for NOS either. I happen to like the Shugu... |
