| All ARC vs All Pass Labs vs All CJ system compare my take on these brands’ sound (at their higher/highest levels) is closer convergence between c-j and audio research and less close convergence to pass labs why? big boy amps from cj and arc now are based on the kt150 power tube which has tremen... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now i was wondering if this thing is roon ready? didn't see mention of it on their web page | |
| Tube microphonics @curiousjim yes in the amps i have had that run them in the input and driver stages, arc put dampers on 6n1p as well as 6h30p tubes as well... and of course on older models, the 6dj8's | |
| Harbeth 40.3 XD + Ton Trager First Impressions i had two sets of 40’s (40.2 and 40.3xd) at one point one set had resonant woods stands, other set came wiith tontragers... no difference in sonic performance to my ear | |
| Whats playing on your system today? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blues_for_Myself.jpg lovely solo piano, accessible, well recorded, melodic and subtly swingin'! | |
| Tube microphonics perhaps i wasn’t clear in my earlier post and created some confusion -- arc puts dampers only on low level tubes -- not the power tubes | |
| Updated my streamer so do I now have to burn it in. Denafrips dac required it, no | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Why do you think Magenpans could provide you with the best judgment about DAC’s compared to comparing them using other speakers? because when properly set up and properly driven, they are among the most honest, pure, transparent transducers out... | |
| Tube microphonics i haven’t bought new audio research tube amp in a few years but i have over a half dozen of them, and in every case, the company puts thick rubber tube dampers on every low level tube when the amp is shipped from the factory, and when replacement ... | |
| DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest? not sure what is being argued here... @soix is a long time contributor, gives plenty of useful advice and is always careful to ask for enough info from those seeking advice before he gives it... to me, it is a ’best practice’ among those who freq... | |
| Harbeth 40.3 XD + Ton Trager First Impressions enjoy your 40's... they are among the very best traditional speakers out there and among my all time favorites play with placement relative to room boundaries now that proper stands are in hand, and get the bass response tuned just right the vo... | |
| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio Cardas Golden is a pretty high comparison. I’m currently running MIT Shotgun from the amp to pre and CVT from the pre to the DAC. I’m curious to know if these would be a step up and offer better performance or if they are similar in quality and p... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing @soix well you know me... i knew what i was doing when i chose to post the list, and i don’t mind the consequences 🤣 part of my motivation, frankly, is to establish a thread and a dialogue that puts this forum back into its proper (and positive... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing responding to some quickies (i will take the time for more lengthy/thoughtful responses later to address some meatier questions... on mode of listening, best value dacs. how i chose dacs to try etc etc, pls bear with me) Any comments on the Benc... | |
| Good speaker match for Nuprime IDA-8? i set up a modest but well performing system for a good friend of mine who moved into a new house and could have a dedicated (though smallish) listening room the heart of that system is the ida-8 with a bluesound node as streamer -- he has old sc... |
