| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? Lula, glad you like the unit still! It is very musical indeed and with your transport I am sure it is spectacular. A good transport really brings a lot to the sonic party. | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? Sorry guys. I do think I can say the Luxman is a better dac....not subjectively, but holistically. I feel quite comfortable saying this based on my experience with both dac's in two systems. I am not saying something ridiculous, but perhaps I have... | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? If you're only spinning CDs then the cap and resistor upgrade on the analog board combined with the Sistrum Apprentice rack gets you beyond Signature. I used Jupiter copper foil caps which are better than the Dynamicaps used in the Sig upgrade. Mu... | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? As I remember standby keeps the power supply on, but not the analog board with the tubes. | |
| SS pre sounds like tubes Sounds like you guys would love an LDR based passive from Tortuga or Lightspeed. I owned both and they deliver what you like! | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? Best tubes I had for the unit came from Upscale Audio. The Gold Lion tubes they offer with all the sorting and testing upgrades. They were the most dynamic and quiet for me. | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? They give instructions on how to do it with little tape strips. Very easy to do. The tape strips hold the disc in place, place the unit on the platform , then remove the tape strips. I've done it many times with no problems. | |

| SS pre sounds like tubes Sure, all gear is flawed. | |
| How bad is the damage to my speakers? Speakers are find, you would know almost immediately if you damaged them, blew them, etc... | |
| SS pre sounds like tubes The Vibe does indeed share the same sonic rightness as the better tube preamps. I liked the SoulMate preamp even better however! | |
| Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ? Where did billandsol go? Great stuff for you here! | |
| What's the greatest bargain in audio racks these days? Rebbi, look at VTI. Very low,price and the quality is just fine. | |
| Upgrading coupling caps - which ones first? The Mundorf caps are not in the same league as the Jupiter or Duelund in any important sonic attribute. However, they do need at least 150 hours of burn in. Mundorf are good mid tier caps, but lack the natural musicality of the top tier Jupiter an... | |
