DIY high end speakers?
Tamule1, which speakers did you build by Troels? I have been looking at his designs for awhile now. To the OP, you may want to check out GR Research which has a site on Audio Circle dot com.Timlub, rather than hijack the OPs thread could you PM me... 
Good optical cable
This is also the cable I decided on after searching the web for awhile. delivery was fast and I am very happy with the product. 
IPod to home stereo - How to get best sound?
I have the Wadia i170 and PS Audio DL3 with level 3 mods in one system and the Pure i20 with Havana DAC in the other. Both sound very good and when switching them between systems I cannot here a difference, even thou there is a substantial differe... 
Metrum Octave First Impressions
Can anyone compare the presentation of the octave compared to a MHDT Havana? From what I have been reading it is a much better Dac all around, but I want to make sure it is organic sounding as I don't care for what I consider the sterile sound of ... 
Calling all Wadia 170i owners
Tamarasue,I have a 170i and what you are hearing is normal. There isn't a way to even out the volume as the dock bypasses the most of the internal controls on the ipad. I agree, it is a bit annoying.Greg 
AC regenerator
AL, I have been enlightened many times by your thoughtful answers to many of these technical questions. I have read a lot about people running devices off of batteries to isolate them from the power grid. A couple of days ago I was thinking, why d... 
MHDT Havana owners.....question
I also just ordered a 6H3N-E and I also ordered a 6H3N-i from the Ukraine. Not sure what the difference is but the seller was calling them a matched pair? He is calling them military grade from the 70s and 80s. Since I'm only using one at a time I... 
Has anyone experimented with switching the Havana

Has anyone experimented with switching the Havana
Thanks Eugene81 for the info. I just ordered a set and am looking forward to trying them out.Greg 
MHDT Havana owners.....question
Hey Shakey,I posted here yesterday but it didn't show up. I agree with Eugene81, the tube makes a big difference in the sound. I personally like the WE396a, to me it brings out a realistic lush tone to the vocals and instruments. enjoy!Greg 
Has anyone experimented with switching the Havana
Jd_df,My previous post prior to the one above did not show up for some reason. I went to (outsource.net,) but it sends me to a different website (outsourcetelecom.com) instead and it doesn't look like this company would sell chips. Is this the cor... 
Has anyone experimented with switching the Havana
Hi Jd_df, Also, I found these chips at a couple of other sites including ebay but they are about $17.00 ea. I'd love to get 4 of them for $20.00!Thanks again,Greg 
Pls recommend a tupe pre under 2500 for my system.
If you are trying to get the tube sound I agree with DarkmoebiusYou cannot go wrong with the Joule Electra Preamps. At the price they go for here, they are a steal. 
Valab TDA1543 DAC VS MHDT Havana DAC
Karmatogdral, Could you explain the difference in sound between the two tubes? I have been loving the WE396a but would like more soundstage in my system. Does the tungsol still have that amazing midrange?Thanks,Greg 
Impressions of Wadia 170i
TLH28, I have owned one for about a year now. As long as you save your music in apple lossless it sounds pretty darn good. I am running mine through a MHDT Havana Dac with A GE396A tube. I have read a lot of people state that a computer based syst...
