| Why don’t tube amps sound like tubes anymore? Well we listen to systems, not amps......right?! Get a nice 6sn7 or DHT preamp and mate it with a nice pure Class A SS amp and even tube amp lovers will be pretty darn happy. You don’t need tube rectification in your preamp to have it sound wonder... | |
| SET the best? I prefer Pure Class A SS amps over tube amps, including SET, after a long and varied tube amp journey. | |
| If Audiophiles care about sound, then why so few threads on acoustics Well one big reason is because many folks have their systems in shared living spaces like the living room. Many spouses do not want all manner of panels on the walls etc...no matter how attractive some of us think they are. The spousal veto vote o... | |
| Can I use the 12 guage Duelund tinned wire for a 25 foot run of spekaer cable Yes you can use it for speaker cable and it sounds very good per my comments above. They do sound a little different. Cotton is a tad more airy and Polycast is warmer. | |
| Can I use the 12 guage Duelund tinned wire for a 25 foot run of spekaer cable Those speakers are not the most efficient and your big SS amp with over 25 feet of cable length points to a double run of the Duelund 12 gauge. As you know, I make and sell by Acoustic BBQ line of cables using Duelund wire. A double run will be M... | |
| Can I use the 12 guage Duelund tinned wire for a 25 foot run of spekaer cable Yes you can, but I would consider a double run if your Mac is high powered SS. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Is not me who has the website, it is williewonka . | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I really like the Helix IC cables and the author is a great guy. His site is very well done also. I slightly prefer the Duelund 16ga built into a double IC in one. Two 16ga +/- runs in a special geometry. I found it more to my personal liking in t... | |
| Aqua hifi La Voce s3.....anyone audition it yet? The S3 is much better than the S2 actually. It is still very musical, and while maintaining the wonderful mids and body the S3 is far more open and nuanced. The S2 sounds dark and murky in comparison. My 2 cents. | |
| MHDT dac...and which streamer/server? Just upgrade the output caps that are not very resolving and the Orchid is no longer a tad dark. The unit opens up dramatically and is more nuanced and resolving with the upgrade. It still remains very musical also. Vcap Odam 2.2uf bypassed with V... | |
| MHDT dac...and which streamer/server? No, don’t use the optical connection. By far the worst. Use the coax or USB. Both sound equally good! Enjoy. | |
| Who's Gone Topless? Yes, I have also known this for years. On some pieces of gear the improvement is very real. | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO Agreed! So darn good. | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO The used value of a non-balanced is really closer to $2600-$2700 based on my recent purchase, past used sales and what I see a used Balanced one listed here for ($3400). Ben asks more, and should, as he goes through them and offers a short warra... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO I love the V3. |
