| Denafrips Pontus 15th, Pass Labs INT-60, and Wilson Sabrinas Duelund makes some great cables at $16/ meter from parts connection. I replaced my Cardas with them | |
| Seeking horn array loudspeakers with a maximum price of $17,500.00 per pair. Look at Joseph Crowe Audio. Most of my listening is at those volume levels and the sound is rich and full. my amps are 4.5 watt monoblocks type 45 tubes. | |
| Are you operating in the correct SPL window for high-fidelity listening? I’m listening at 66db now which is optimal for me when I am not constrained by other people or nighttime situations. | |
| DHT preamps...Supratek Cabernet vs Vinnie Rossi L2 Signature Edition. @reimarc just wondering if you have and can share a source for the SE 45s? SE has been out of stock for months, at least in my searches. | |
| Speakers for 2nd System! @karl_desch in my opinion, the Sibelius would be a worthwhile audition.. | |
| Speakers for 2nd System! I used the Sibelius with a 4.5 watt set 45 tube amp in a second system and had very impressive results. After 5 other speakers, they are the only ones I regret selling. Really beautiful sound. Unexpected real bass. Midrange bliss. | |
| What does your DAC sound like Grimm MU2 here. - it’s hard to isolate the DAC specifically since it’s a combination of streamer, DAC, Preamp, but it’s clearly a step or two above my prior combination id separates, which I absolutely loved, that included a Sonnet Pasithea DAC. ... | |
| Sonically -Cardas the difference between the CLEAR Loudspeaker cable ,and CLEAR BEYOND Prior to my existing system I experiment with cables from the cable company. I was looking at the Clear Reflection interconnects. It turned out that one was great while two warmed the sound too much for my taste. I went with one in my system. I bo... | |
| Tube Pre-amp Suggestions. I have a sonnet Pasithea DAC with built in analog preamp that I prefer to run without either of the 2 preamps I had tried. first was a Don Sachs model 2. While I really liked this preamp for it big spatial and full sound, I felt like I lost somet... | |
| Preamp Sibilance? @ghdprentice - I appreciate your advice. Before I swapped to the duelund cables I was using Cardas Reflection interconnects. They really made a positive difference in the warmth they brought to my prior speakers. I sold them when I swapped to the ... | |
| Preamp Sibilance? Update for all who are interested. been leaving the preamp break-in in my second system (solid state) pretty much 24x7 since my original post. Tested once during the week with a definite improvement in Sibilance but still some hardness / hars... | |
| Preamp Sibilance? @sls883 @audioman58 thank you for the LTA suggestion. I listened to them at LTA in DC a few years back and was very impressed. With this latest purchase I was shooting for the equivalent to no preamp so I could add a new TT, so I tried to stay low... | |
| Preamp Sibilance? @ghdprentice - Thank you. I've seen you say this many times before in many situations and I will definitely give it some more time and track progress. @bolong - Thank you for the fuse suggestion and recommendation. I hope I dont have to go down ... | |
| Special Forty? I had such a similar experience except it was with the Pearl Audio Sibelius speakers. Completely underwhelmed when I set them up in my large living room space. I was back and forth with P.A. countless times changing positions, room treatment, gear... | |
| This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity? I have a Triode Labs 45 monoblock Set amp putting out the most glorious 4.5 watts I’ve heard into large Joseph Crowe horns (105 db) in room. while these were being built for me, Troy loaned me a small wide baffle back loaded horn speaker that ... |
