| Solid State Power Amps That Sound Most Like Tubes? I have owned many different amps of all variety and in general like what tubes do.Having said that, I just aquired a Pass/First Watt J2 and it would be very easy for me to live with this amp long term (provided it is used within it's limitations)I... | |

| Lampizator DAC I have recently auditioned the most basic version of this dac and found it quite good. Organic, transparent and good dynamics. I compared it with two other, more expensive, tube based dacs I own....the Exemplar Extant and 3-Dimension audio 18SE...... | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps I really enjoy OTL amps and have owned examples from Tenor (75w, 75Wi), Atma-Sphere (M60, MA1) and, Joule(VZN 100) and Berning (Siegfried, 270 and ZH 230...this one I use currently).I have not had reliability issues with any of these or certainly ... | |

| About Vacuum State amps No problems with the VSA driving the Tonian or the 8ohm KCSI used sophia princess mesh plates in the amps and did not try anything else.If you read Roy Gregory's review of the amps in HiFi+ you will have my opinion as well. He is spot on in his de... | |
| About Vacuum State amps Yes, I owned the VSA DPA 300b amps. Excellent amps with speed, dynamics, and great extension at both ends.I used mine with Tonian Classic 12.1s and KCS Seas Exotic speakers (these were supplemented by an Audiokinesis swarm sub set-up)Some of the b... | |
| Tonian Labs vs Musical Affairs I have owned two pairs of the Tonians (TLM-1 originals and Classic 12.1s) Currently have the classics. They are excellent. I have heard the Ocellia Kedros in my system in comparison with the TLM-1's and while both are excellent I thought the Tonia... | |

| Elrod vs MIT Thanks...I will be interested to hear the results | |
| Elrod vs MIT Puremusic...excellent point, I had not thought of the affirmation side of the equation in that if he COULD here what you heard it might suggest that the MIT, along with the rest of N35's system, was giving the same resolution as the Elrod and the ... | |
| Elrod vs MIT Puremusic, I am sure the Elrod is a good cord as I have owned some of David's stuff in the past but that is a real stretch as a way to conclude anything and would seem very unfair to the MIT cord. Wouldn't your test just prove your system is more ... | |
| Full Range Drivers I have owned many speakers over many years and have enjoyed several single driver speakers including:Beauhorns, Lamhorns and KCS seas exotics. None of these are full range in the sense of 20hz-20khz...not even close.But depending on the room, posi... |
