| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I have the Orchid and it sounds amazing. It is an easy best buy for sheer musicality and enjoyment of your music. I simply love mine and agree with upgrading to the WE tube.If you upgrade the output caps and key resistors around the tube you wil... | |
| Network Switches One cannot measure the difference between Duelund 2.0 uf tinned copper foil CAST capacitors vs a $5 Solen 2 uf cap at the output of the same dac. However, they will sound radically different. One cannot measure the difference of many component upg... | |
| Damping Materials for Audio Equipments Buy the Soundcoat sheets from Parts Connextion. Adhesive backed and great stuff. | |
| A moderate priced dac I think it is pretty good.....at times....and other times good. | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers Don’t use its dac, but use a better external one. That’s it. | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil They are easily the finest sounding cap I have ever used and I have used most of them 🤪 They are as you say so natural and real sounding. | |
| A moderate priced dac In keeping with the spirit of your post; The MHDT Orchid would destroy, obliterate, demolish, make the Codex sound like a toy, make the Ayre sound broken, kill it and utterly make minced meat of it! 😁. | |
| Has anyone upgraded the caps on their MHDT Orchid? Replace the key resistors for as big a sonic upgrade.... if not bigger! Use a mix of Audio Note Tantalum non-magnetic and Vishay TX2575 ZFoil resistors for best sound. Huge jump in sound quality. These resistors: R38, R52, R36, R54 -- designed val... | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply I have not heard the Audio Note Kaiser, but read they are very good sounding. | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Funny, I found the Clarity TCs to sound the best by a good margin in my preamp builds. I suppose it comes down to use, design and preferences. | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers Need to optimize the $500 unit to really know what you have. | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers Ok, I just hooked up a BS Node 2 I purchased used for my daughter. I hard wired it with Ethernet. I have a good upgraded power cord on it. I have a nice coax cable on it sending digital to my dac. Sounds great and a breeze to set up. | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers Everyone has a smart phone to download the Bluesound app. It’s great they have an app for music file management and playback which Sonore does not. Bluesound is a nice one box solution for for those who can’t spend more than $250-$550 and want a... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers The microRendu is a good idea, but you still need a computer so it can get costly. The Bluesound is an all in one solution. | |
| Tube Research Labs Golden Triode Reference Stereo Tube Preamplifier No, there is no way of getting his designs on a schematic. This is especially true of his tube voltage regulation designs which are a big part of his designs. He was very secretive about his builds. If one was to have purchased his company, then m... |
