| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers With rare exceptions (such as recordings with phase anomalies), two-channel stereo doesn't produce 3-dimensional sound.My experience of 30+ years paints quite a different picture. And without exception, such performance requires a tube line stage ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you Steve for the details. I have read about Hynes PS's for things like Mac Mini's. With an OffRamp 5 and a Mac Mini, maybe Hynes could make a custom PS to drive both. I will enquire with Hynes on this. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you Steve. It's always good to hear when a designer puts out a great performing product at a lower cost. For your products, did you ever try using linear power supplies from such companies as Lambda or HP and were they ugh more affective tha... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Oh no, not another new model. I just spent $175k cabling my system with the CT-1 UR and now I need to start all over again? | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere I have not auditioned or changed cables in 5 years. The system just sounds too good to have any desire to play the cables game any time soon. For awhile I had all purist dominus cabling with the Aesthetix Io/Callisto, CAT amps and Manley DAC. I di... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Bo the Audio Consultant? Hardly! Maybe interior decorator is more appropriate.There are some wild looking amps and speakers out there but with so much competition in these areas, it's easy to find one of great sound and acceptable looks. And such ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I been trying cables almost non stop for the last 4 or 5 years and this stuff is on another level. And how many times have we all heard this before? And how many months will it be before the next coming of the cable almighty will appear from the c... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Bo1972, once you put a component on the Sistrum, you won't see the darn thing anyway. And let's face it, a lot of audio gear is ugly as hell. | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere No No No on the Dominus with Aesthetix products. The Dominus B or C has the same faults as the Aesthetix products, i.e., over exaggeration of the middle octaves and suffering of detail at the frequency extremes. The Stealth Dream or Dream State po... | |
| The cloud? Just get a 2TB drive for $100 and be done with it. This whole Cloud thing is such a marketing joke! | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Gosh, had I know the RCA 12BH7 was such a runaway hit here, I would have charged for tickets. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Tbg: It is ridiculous for you to go to an audio show and hear a system for a few minutes with the Lampi in it and have any idea what contributions it makes or not relative to the rest of the system. If you have not heard it directly compared to an... | |
| What happened to Jfox Thanks twb2. It will be a couple more months and I can replace the back plates. I'm just having too much fun restoring my car to be quieter, smoother and faster. That you Rleff but I like the looks of the A1s. And a back plate swap is easier that ... | |
| Counterpoint, Modwright, Aesthetix sound? The calypso is flat as a pancake once you hear the Callisto. | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere What I find interesting about tube rolling is that the effect, in my experience, is often bigger than the effects of changing power cords, feet etc.Yes yes yes yes yes!So happy you like the RCA 12H7. It is a special tube. I never heard a tele 12au... |
