| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Grannyring, that's great you're still finding improvements. We all get bored with our system and need a change sometimes. I use tube rolling and switching between SS and tube components. It's much easier than buying new gear. :-) | |
| Soulution amp and tubed preamp Psag, demo a VAC Statement or even SigMK11a if looking for a tube pre for Soulution amp. It will have no problems driving it.What necessary works doesn't mean good SQ. Last year a local audiophile demoed several tube pre for his Soulution amp but ... | |
| Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare? 07-05-14: DgarretsonIt's an endlessly interesting hobby. This evening I removed an Afghan rug from between the .8 amps(on Stillpoint Ultra SS with coupling bases) and Merlin VSM(on Stillpoint Ultra 5). This redressed the frequency imbalance with a... | |
| Why Merlins sound better then Sonus Faber Unistar99, are you shopping for speakers or furniture? Sounds like you're interested in Sonus Faber only for their appearance and trying to justify a purchase even though you don't like their sound. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 07-05-14: GrannyringI like my Romulus player more than the Lampi/Offramp combo.

| What happened to Jfox As JD pointed out, we all spent so much time trying out audio cables. I have no desire to ever again get into that. Cable threads of guys spending $10k on a cable majorly turns me off here now.Amen! Sucker once and never again. What da hell was I ... | |
| Active vs Passive Pre amps TVC and autoformer units from Bent, Drubin, did you assembled the Bent yourself? What type of wires did you use? | |
| synergistic research's element copper You may have changed your mind if you had listened to the Statement Gold in your system. I agree, they are very unwieldy. But If you can position them safely in your system the sonic rewards are worth the effort. In my system they do not lack weig... | |
| synergistic research's element copper Have you tried Elrod Statement Gold power cords?No, not Statement Gold. I had a full loom of Statement Is and IIs ... series before Gold. It's a very good cable but not worth the $$ or hassle in using them due to their size and weight.Ribbon cable... | |
