| Music Servers - Baetis vs. Music Vault USB (even the best implementation, which is an oxy-moron), I find, sucks the emotion out of the musicWow! What a statement! If USB is sucking the emotion out of your music, your system has issues elsewhere.I have been using a 2006 Mac Mini given t... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house I just took delivery of the Big L6 tonight and I am going crazy with the clarity, smoothness and delineation! I am in the twin cities if anybody cares to stop by. Only sad thing is I am using a backup Counterpoint NPS 400 amp to drive the Soundlab... | |
| London Decca NoRomance: Yes, sadly, I was too late for that good deal. And Warren had not updated the page. But it is ok. Mine arrived few days ago but just too crazy busy here. I hope to have it setup tomorrow.Tokyojohn: What an incredible story. To have all ... | |
| London Decca Thank you Exlibris. I talked to Warren a few days ago and he suggested the Jubilee for me based on my system. He had no used Jubilee's which was unfortunate. He said that the Graham 2.0 that I use on the Clearaudio Ref TT will work mighty fine wit... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house I have been following this thread for months and months. And have re-read it several times. Here are a handful of questions:1: How do I audition or get an L7 in my home for audition?2: Pros/cons/experiences of the output tube options in the L7?3: ... | |
| London Decca Ok, so now where do I get a used Decca? I am very eager to setup the phono with an MM. | |
| London Decca I have been dreaming to own a top performing MM cartridge but the prices here are just insane. I want to get out of the MC scene and simplify the number of active stages and no SUT but no idea where to go with an MM. Can you guys give me some tips... | |
| Nola Contender & Totem Forest comparison? Quite a diversity of comments here. I attended the Newport Beach Audio show in 2011, 2012 and 2013. I kept going back to the Nola Contender room again and again as it was doing music like so few other setups. The man in the room kept saying, "you ... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers If you want a tube amplifier to mate with ELS speakers, that excels effortlessly and with outright awesome dynamic contrasts, very low level resolution, go the the CAT and never look back. | |
| ARC Ref phono stage. Bigkidz ..What many of us need is top-notch 100% tube head amp like a modern version of the Counterpoint SA-2. So many preamps have great line stages and MM stages, but then rely on step-up transformers for that last 20-26 or so of db gain for MC.... | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords And there you have it .it's complete insanity. | |
| How Does Gold Wire Handle? Agree that gold is a poor choice for conductivity and durability. People are conditioned to think it is the best Well, I am one individual who is conditioned only by what I hear in direct cable comparisons in my own system. So far for me, the meta... | |
| What happened to Jfox Finally back here to answer Baranyi request.I have mentioned here a few times of the great discovery of the Counterpoint SA5 full-function MM-only preamp. I shared much praise here before of the SA2 head amp that I used with the Aria. But when I m... | |
| What happened to Jfox I must pitch in a few other names of people here who taught me so much and had a lot to do with my system's performance to grow exponentially in just a matter of a few years. Albert Porter (knowledge of Aesthetix, SoundLab and Purist Audio) and Ba... | |
| What happened to Jfox Wow! What an honor. Oh my gosh. Thank you.I have not written much here the last 3 or so years since I accepted a job in San Clemente for a company that builds a very specialized implantable cardiovascular device that uses no leads directly to the ... |
