| Primaluna Dialogue One or Line Magnetic 218IA? Add the Melody MK88 to your considerations. I owned the Dialogue 2 and think the mk88 may have been better. I'm pretty sure if it, but my speakers changed in between listens. | |
| Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac? Kzhtoo,Give Darren at Avatar Acoustics a buzz for the fuse. They're like $20. You need the 20mm .25amp one. Stock value is .20amp, but going over is OK. Then you just open the power supply chassis from the screws on front, pry the black fuse prote... | |
| Transport for MHDT Havana Elevick,Quite simply because the transport matters quite a bit--probably equally to the DAC. I'd love it if a cheap dvd player's digital out were sufficient with a good enough DAC, but even those dacs that promise jitter reduction seem to benefit ... | |
| Any LampizatOr Gen 4 feedback? I received my LampizatOr L4/G4 on Friday and its a special DAC right off the bat! My unit is pretty custom incorporating a solid state rectified PSU (to mprove linearity and bass slam) and incorporating Fikusz' favorite Jensen caps and I've gotta ... | |
| Anyone tried fuses, power cord with Metrum Octave? Based on reading others feedback with the AMR fuse and the cost of the AMR was very reasonable. If you haven't tried it already, its worth every penny of the $20. Makes a sizeable improvement, indeed.I noticed that Create audio sells a high end fu... | |
| Question about Metrum Octave and 192 kHz I believe it does. My Metrum played 24/192 using a JKenny on my computer, but gets jarbled up over the Squeezebox Touch. If yours is operating as it should over the Touch, then I think you're one of the lucky few. | |
| Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac? Audiofun,In which ways do you feel the DP777 is in another league then the Octave? I concede my buddy's (actually a friend of Jriggy's too) AMR had the older circuit board which is said not to sound quite as good, but it wasn't that there was a di... | |
| KR Audio VA340 MKII vs Melody AN 845 Hugh,Oh man! Why'd ya post that, lol? I was feeling warm and tingly about ordering the PB101/M845 (which is really too big for my space) and am now wondering if the AN845 is the better choice...Fred | |
| Melody Pure Black 101 Line Preamp Phil,Your posts are the best and most informative on audiogon. Your ability to communicate sound, willingness to provide coherent and well thought out advice and your general enthusiasm for the hobby sealed the deal for me. I've got a Pure Black 1... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I'm totally jealous, Morgan! I should have alld off my seldomly used analog rig and jumped on it myself! Lol.Congrats and keep me posted. | |
| Does anyone own the Bel Canto SET 40? Berto used Shugang 845b tubes along with some rare and expensive Tung-Sol blackplate 12ax7s which were really exceptional. He ultimately didn't care for Telefunken, a sentiment I mirror him on. | |
| Anyone tried fuses, power cord with Metrum Octave? This weekend I got around to putting an AMR fuse in my Metrum Octave and I am very pleased by what it did for the presentation. It made it a little more resolved, yet sweeter with better depth and flow. This little $20 tweak made it significantly ... | |
| Valve amplifier choice Check out Melody's offerings locally if possible. My understanding is they're based in Australia but assembled in China. Great gear at fair prices. I love their stuff. | |
| Anyone tried fuses, power cord with Metrum Octave? The triode wire lab 10+ is a great power cord on the octave, brings out more tonal color, weight and beauty without sacrifing PRaT. I have an AMR fuse coming for my octave this week from Avatar Acoustics.... I'll report back on how that goes, but ... | |
| best speakers to match with the rogue Chronus magn I'll second my boy, Roscoe. The Rogue Cronus Magnum was a great match to VR-33 speakers. Not my favorite speakers, but the best I herd them sound and I did try a number of costlier amps and pre amps. |
