| Tube USB Preamp I own the Cosecant, it is a non-upsampling USB Zero Dac, with a Tubed output stage. And like Paradales said there is a version that can act as a Premp with Volume. Actually Wavelength now has 3 different USB Dacs in the line-up, with varying versi... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Interesting....So I will put that to the test for sure this week. Currently my front end is the Wavelength Brick, and will be the Cosecant this week, possibly today actually. The Cosecant is supposed to be significantly different so I will see if ... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Good point, but it only happened/happened when they were inserted into the system. | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Thanks Aball...Some good points you made. I am going to lift the hood on the amp today and remove the jumpers (per instructions from Krell) on the input stage of the amp itself.VTL is capacitively coupled on the output, so it is now double CC'd. I... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Krell is recommending capacitively coupling the amp to resolve the glare issue-FPB is direct coupled of course. Something they recommend to do with Tube Preamps regardless, which I have. The KAV I owned before this FPB comes from the factory capac... | |

| MC402 vs FPB 300cx I think you might be right, and if nothing else it's the path of least resistance first. I am actually anxious to try the Auditorium 23's as they are supposed to great for the money. I guess you could say 8tc is not quite up to the task of this sy... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Another theory on this glare I am experiencing is the listening room...I have increased the soundstage of the speaker considerably blah, blah, blah. Maybe getting glare of the walls etc I was not getting before because the sound is greater. Crazy? | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Great advice Audphile1...You really know your stuff. thx!I have Nordost Tyr from source to pre, and pre to amp. Then Kimber 8tc for speakers. My dealer has already suggested it being the speaker cables and he is going to send me a set of Auditoriu... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Hey Aduphile1...I have not had a chance to get back there yet. I gotta be honest, I am afraid if I go back and listen to the 803d's again will walk out with them and $8k worth of debt. I am experiencing a little glare, or glassiness if you will wi... | |
| Help critic my system Saaaaaaweeet system! I would axe the PS Audio on the amp completely. Krells like power off the wall, Krell will tell you that too. Dedicated outlet. Not to mention PS is a complete alteration of power, converting from AC to DC back to AC in their ... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Amp is in, first impressions are good to excellent. To be honest the amp is not even close broken in yet. Previous owner just cracked the box 10 months ago and he was using for rear channels in HT. Go figure....Wish I could use a 400cx for rear ch... | |
| Help My Krell amp is too big. How's the ventilation around the EVO? And how do you like it? Congrats on a nice purchase too. : ) | |
| macmini spdif out vs. usb Own the Cosecant, owned the Brick-both incredible products...Have done exhaustive research on this matter...Choose whatever DAC you like, but I can tell you from experience of going through the Computer DAC "as a front end route", and listening to... | |
| Has anybody heard the new Nagra CD Player? Goatwuss-you're entitled to your opinion. But I would ask you to substantiate your statement a little more, I already have. Just keep a close eye on whats going in the markets, and you will see how Cd's will continue, emphasis on continue, to fade... |
