| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius The man has passed away and cannot defend himself against what anyone on the net cares to say. I am uncomfortable with these latest posts and don’t think they should remain here. Mods take a look. Just not the right place or time. | |
| Tubes or not MHDT Orchid for $1100. Get the Western Electric tube. Amazing dac that will make you smile! | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Cal3713, Ed offers a trial period and you can play with one. No caps, resistors or volume control in the signal path! The balance control is not in the signal path! The selector switch is, but I don’t have a selector Switch as I only need one inp... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Charles, After trying many amps with the Lyngdorf I found one that bettered the 2170 as a stand alone unit. The Clayton amp. I love this amp. If offered more dynamic impact, improved natural tone, greater bass and mid bass foundation as well as a ... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? @t_ramey. My unit has remote. The volume changes very little from start all the way up to say 11 o’clock on the dial. The volume then ramps up quickly from 11:30-1:30 where most of the volume increase takes place. While this is a pretty narrow r... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? I will not touch the caps per Ed’s advice. Just the wire and RCA jacks. Ed is pretty adamant that changing out the caps will make no difference based on his testing and design. I must say the unit sounds wonderful so I will trust his comments. ... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? I have a Clayton Audio S40 pure class A amp. Sensitivity to full volume is 1.3v so a great match with The Truth. @thaluza Vampire makes some very good rca jacks for only $35 or so per set on sale. I am also thinking of direct soldering my ICs a... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Well @thaluza that is a great question. It sure does not need any upgrades to please me, but every piece of gear I own has my signature somewhere in it. Ha! Not much to do as the design is simple and so unique. I plan to wire the input and outpu... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? I own The Truth and it is just fantastic. I does take a full week of playing 24/7 to break in and sound its best. At first it was a tad closed in, overly warm and a little dull sounding. After some 150 hours of play time this unit has just amazed... | |
| Most annoying song, period. Styx Mr. Roboto. Yikes! | |
| Yet another Qobuz vs. Tidal debate Just ended my Tidal subscription and am moving onto Qobuz. Qobuz just sounds a little better on my system. Little more organic and natural. A tad less electronic if you will. Not day and night, but enough to cause me to switch. | |
| Mapleshade...where's the love? I like many of the Mapleshade recordings and yes Kendra Shank and other MS offerings are great music! | |
| $1300-1500 DAC The MHDT Orchid is very natural and unforced sounding. Nice detail and warmth at the same time. No tube softness. It is an easy best buy at anywhere near its price. Upgrade the output caps to Jupiter or Miflex copper foils and get the WE tube... | |
| What just happened to accepting Paypal?? looks like they are trying to drive us away Just follow the work around instructions that Agon gave. I did and it worked beautifully. Took me 3 minutes. All good. | |
| Aqua hifi La Voce s3.....anyone audition it yet? @kzs70. I just saw your post. I find the Orchid every bit as good as the Romulus. Not quite as detailed and resolved, but the Orchid offers better tone, dimension and naturalness. |
