| NOS tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 1 Jim: I am glad you are enjoying your first steps into tube enjoyment. It can be quite addictive. I fully understand your feelings about White Label USA PQ's, which are the next on my list. I currently have Holland Bugle Boys and Holland Orange Lab... | |
| NOS tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 1 Jim: I have not owned the SF Line 1, and connot comment on the specific preferences of that pre. However, two good places to look for info about and comparisons of the various memebers of the 6DJ8/6922 family are: http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/... | |
| CEC modifications - do they work????? Khaki: Are you willing to share what you experienced in comparison to the before and after. I also have a TL2 and would be most interested in hearing you comparison. | |
| What difference would the XYZ DAC make? Having spent time in both camps, I would point out that Zaikesman has given very good advice. His words regarding the importance of transport selection is in my experience especially true. | |
| What difference would the XYZ DAC make? Pete: I many ways your tastes in music are similar to mine: as you said, "focus on subtlety rather than slam". In terms of your questions, all I can offer is what I have learned in my own experience. My suggestions would include another candidate;... | |
| Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll Tom: IMO, the issues are a bit more complex. Having been an avid AG "watcher" for quite some time, I have clearly seen that "things" move in packs and patterns. For instance, a particular item may not have any listings more months....and then all ... | |
| My Rogue 99 needs better isolation...please help. One further comment I will make, particularly in response to Talon's remark about using Seismic Sinks under turntables. When I first got a "Sink" my perception was that the most logical position was under my transport. This was nice, no question. ... | |
| My Rogue 99 needs better isolation...please help. Bradz: Email me off-line, and I will forward you some further information on the IsoBaseK: white paper and such. Both Bigkidz and Rcprince have had success with these units. Regarding the several suggestions of Herbie's dampers,I am in complete a... | |
| My Rogue 99 needs better isolation...please help. Bradz: My suggestion, and what has pleased me, is to move to air isolation; specifically Townshend Seismic Sink or K-Works IsoBaseK. I have had wonderful success with the "Sinks" (I have two, one under my transport and the other under my DAC). In... | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? Regarding the choice of digital inputs, JO has said exactly the same thing to me; that his preference is rca coax; and he seemed to be very clear on that preference. In my own experience, with my 34, using identical length and brand interconnects ... | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? Russel:Thank You! | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? Rc:Can you elaborate on the differences you experienced between the "Sink" and the "IsobaseK". Bigkidz sent me the white paper on the IsobaseK so I have a modest awareness of it. | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? Tabl10s: This is off subject in relation to the thread, but in response to your isolation query. In a conversation, JO was supportive of using isolation. I am using his older DAC, the M34DSB. I put a Townshend Seismic Sink under it. Wow! I would ... | |
| Three transport choices, which one? Tony: I cannot give you a lot of details, as I listened to the T-7000 just briefly. I was using it with an Audio Logic M34DSB DAC, a four-tube DAC. I had sold the T-7000 and was simply testing the CD output as requested. I doubt that I listened fo... | |
| 10/3 or 10/2 to each outlet? Canucks:Jea is absolutely correct about spending the extra $ to run a ground connection feeder. If it were me, I would also size it at 6Ga. But then, I am the one who suggested being sure to check your entire grounding system to make sure it was a... |
