| Types of Audiophiles @charles1dad is the poster child for an audiophile monogamist 🙂. One reason I really respect him. No doubt he is a loyal husband. | |
| Types of Audiophiles Great stuff here! Fun. Thanks for the post @erik_squires . | |
| Neutral Dac? I hope you like the Schiit dac! It sounds like a reasonable choice. I heard the top Yiggy model that was out some 3-4 years ago and while it was neutral, the way it did neutrality left me a tad cold. It was a bit mechanical sounding. Just my exper... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread Yes, I have a 20 amp Hijiri Nogami power cord from my wall outlet to my Puritan 156. I liked it more than the $800 Puritan cord in my system. It works wonderfully for me and my system. I also have the Nogami on my amp, dac and server. | |
| Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k Want a great integrated amp for your F702s? Get the Circle Labs A200 hybrid Int amp. Tube preamp section coupled with SS output. Your Fyne speakers are a great match for the purity of this amp. This one amp will greatly simplify your system and... | |
| Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k @soix is spot on regarding the sonic blending of the two amps on the mids. No reason to add this problem to your system. | |
| Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k I own the Fyne F704s and feel you are adding too much complexity to your system for no good reason. Just get one good tube amp. No need for 100 watts unless you have a huge room. One good tube amp will sound best. | |
| Neutral Dac? @schw06 Like you I have owned and listened to many dacs over the years. I enjoyed many of them. However, I sensed there was still a dac out there that could do a better job of consistently engaging me into my music. One that would become the fo... | |
| What are the big attractions at Capital Audiofest coming up this Friday? Check out the Wolf Von Langa Son speakers in the Gestalt Audio Design room. The sound wonderful based on my experience with them. Will be driven by New Audio Frontiers tube electronics. | |
| Best sounding CD player The Neodio ORIGINE S2 CD player is stunningly good. You can also use it as a streaming dac. Easily some of the best sound I have ever heard in a digital front end. | |
| Stored, used, crossover capacitor burn in / reforming time You will get 90% of what they sound like within the first 24 hours of play. Little change after that for the next couple of days of playtime. | |
| Boutique caps in oil... reliable? @charles1dad I also look forward to your comments on the Abbas 3.2SE dac. I never of them before, but did some reading and find his attitude towards design and parts so darn fresh and wonderful. A true artist! Most intriguing. I use th... | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question Hi Mitch2, I had done that for some time with the Townshend Pods. I had no other choice with my rack. It helped me set up the pods a tad more easily, but after selling the Pods I just let it hang free of floor, other cables, rack etc… | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question Forgot to mention how the weight and length of your power cord and cabling can also add to the frustration of proper Townshend Pod placement and functioning. My integrated amp has a long and heavy power cord on it that hangs off the back as my amp... | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question I purchased a bunch of Townshend pods and bars for under my gear and former speakers. I liked how they made my system sound and found their service to be top notch. In the end I sold them because I found them hard to place and work with. If your ... |
