| Powering DALI Euphonia ms5, Pass Labs X350.8 vs. McIntosh MC452? Agree with plutos. IMO the two aren't even in the same league. | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Parasound - esp the JC1'sLevinson | |
| ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28? In my experience the REF's are always better than the LS's. I think this tactic is a gateway to get you out of your old REF, into the current LS and then ultimately to the new REF.The tubed power supply is significant. | |
| HELP ADVICE FEEDBACK PS Audio BHK 300 - Hegel H30 - Pass Labs X250.8 or Pass X350.5 amp Thanks for the update fsmithjack.I'm happy to hear you are as pleased with the 326 as I am. It's a difficult component to put your finger on as it adds "something", but I'm never quite sure what that is. It's refined and relaxed, but also transp... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? More impressions? | |
| Since Dennis Had left Cary has the company built any new tube equipment? Cary lost all of it's soul when Dennis left. Now it's just another company slinging "me too" products IMO. It's really sad, but the current trend it seems. | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Robert,I'm very interested in your findings as I'm extremely interested in the DAC+ for MQA. Please keep us posted!Thanks,Jim | |
| The Levinson Sound? again I repeat, that only the first series 331,332 and 333 are equipped with PHILIPS capacitorsthe series 334, 335 and 336 the problem was solved with other capacitors, in Portugal who has this series has not yet repaired it.Happy Listening ! And ... | |
| D'Agostino Progression monoblocks replacing my Theta Prometheus monoblocks Not surprised, I always thought Theta gear was over-hyped. | |
| Power Cords for Parasound I use Audioquest NRG-4 with good results. I haven't tried that many cords however but they were an improvement over the OEM's.Any 15 amp cord should be fine from a safety standpoint. Sounds like the manual has a typo, 60 amps is a ton of current. | |
| Ayre QB-9 DSD or Codex? After doing a bit more research I'm not also looking at the Mytek Brooklyn+ which supports MQA, comes in around $2k new and has a 30 day in-home trial.I know the QB-9 fairly well and enjoyed it, but MQA intrigues me and I am a Tidal user.DAC techn... | |
| The Levinson Sound? later MLevinson rectified and released the EXCELLENT 334,335 and 336 already with other capacitors, no longer suffered from this problemWrong.Ok . 336 two channelsCorrect.the power cable on the 335 is not rigid, it is replaceable by any other.Wron... | |
| The Levinson Sound? To add to 68pete's comments on the 336, it absolutely suffered from the same capacitor issue as the 331-333 models. All 33x amplifiers did. | |
| The Levinson Sound? I had a 336 which I really liked, but after replacing the caps I sold it and tried several different other amps. I could have easily lived with the 336, but now have JC1 mono's which to my ear are a little more lively and open than the 336. Neit... | |
| My rant; we don't know what we don't know Lastly, if forums are such a source of irritation, little can be positively gleaned from them, serve little erstwhile purpose, why continue to involve yourself with them?Obviously, to show everyone how enlightened one has become after 25 years. T... |
