The future of preamps
AudioL, ya my Dude has some parts I wanted for my tastes including Vishay Z Foil & Shinkoh resistors, Neotech top quality copper wire and 3001 cable for the signal path, extra power supply capacitance......Nice Dude for sure!

I chose the Mills and Obbligato parts based on experience with them in the past and user reviews. They are just very good for the money. Not the best, but good.I am not sure of the results yet. The parts are still burning in. I am putting together...

Yes, I still have my Dude fully tricked out with Duelund CAST caps and some other goodies. I like to fiddle and mod and have fun with point to point wired tube gear.

Well I upgraded the caps and resistors in my Coincident Total Victory III speakers. What a complete hassle and hard work! The wires inside the speaker are very, very short making it darn difficult to take the tweeter out. Nor could I pull out the ...

The room correction feature is awesome! Ya, I was told to try 88 instead of 96 on Wave Editor...I may do this! Some feel it sounds even better.

Enjoying my Lampy more than ever as I learn how to maximize the sound of my computer based transport. Something else I learned from Steve and Empirical that is yet another upgrade in sound.....Use a program called Wave Editor and up sample your 16...

AudioL, I agree 100 percent with you. I did just that and the music sounded very good direct, just not as good as my preamp. Both made good music for sure!

Arthur is a man with opinions like all of us. It is strange all of the products he says are the best of the best are Coincident. Is this just a coincidence for Coincident? Highly unlikely in all honesty folks. At the minimum, it simply reflects hi... 
Impedance mismatch question
George, I agree with you. Wow, I think this is a first! My tube preamp has an output impedance much like Almarg outlined. Can go as high as 4k etc.....I have run it with all kinds of amps with as low as 22k input impedances with no issues at all. ...

Salectric, and others,I am going to upgrade the parts in my speaker and have one question. My speaker has Zobel networks on the drivers. My speaker is a four way (mid bass drivers as we'll as midrange) so I have four caps and four resistors in my ...

Charles, Agear and I have fun with this one and we don't see it exactly alike based on experience. He is a great guy and we will continue to jab on this one topic. I greatly value and respect his opinion....usually:-) 
$5k DAC....Will A $500 cd Transport Get It Done?
Sorry, but it is true. I have done and tried it all. Just look at my feedback and see! Ha! My computer based front end trumps every single high dollar, well reviewed, CD player and transport I have ever owned. Ya, I have owned many, many good ones...
