| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD To achieve such results can take many months or more of system tuning, exhaustive tube rolling efforts, and finding that magical IC between the line stage and amp. The easiest way for me to destroy a ton of performance that I have achieved in my s... | |
| Which high power SET The first is the size of the listening room and the second is the listening level preference. The impedance curve is important as well, but to me speaker efficiency is a much lower priority.For me, #1 priority is amp's ability to drive speaker suf... | |
| synergistic research's element copper 02-03-14: ThedatmanWell I'm happy with them. I could not find any articles from either of those publications. I’m sure they are there ThanksWhat's more important, you are happy with them or reviews? Reviews are just opinions from individuals. Big ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Well said Ghasley! | |
| Which high power SET I agree with Atmasphere, before writing a check for a 30 wpc SET, audition in your system. SET sounds best not pushed due to their distortion.Larryi also has good points. Have an open mind and don't get hung up on a particular type of amp. They ca... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 06-22-14: Kernelbob@Jwm, My PSA PWD-MkII took a month to fully break-in. Now, I wasn't feeding it digital input 24/7, but it was powered on for the duration. After two weeks it was at its nadir. At the end of a month it had blossomed and pretty mu... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house However, I think the volume control in Lamp dac is active. I sincerely hope it doesn't have the leaner presentation of passive preamp. It's active and in analog domain. I was wondering why he brought up passive ... he owns a L6 and have no idea wh... | |
| Ethernet Cables 06-20-14: Dragon1952I retired from the IT field myself.....all the way from old school telecom using coax to 10/100 ethernet. I really don't care what I've learned or what should be or shouldn't be. I've always kept an open mind to the unexplainab... | |

| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house 06-18-14: FluffersAnyone have a Lampi with the Volume control??- Curious as to how it would compare to a hi-end Preamp- If it works then it would simplify a system but do not see how it best a hi end preamp- Please let me know your thoughts- thank... | |
| Ethernet Cables Kijanki, Seriously, I would agree with you if, say my server application requires 4GB of RAM, old computer has 8GB and new has 16GB. Also old computer has enough CPU to stream data faster than DAC requires. But this was not my case.As far as cable... | |
| Ethernet Cables 06-19-14: KijankiJoecasey, you're right - one computer CAN sound better than the other but it is not related to speed (or amount of RAM) but to amount of electrical noise produced. Whether computer can or cannot keep up does not change the sound b... | |
| Ethernet Cables 06-18-14: KijankiNew computer with faster CPU and memory can do more harm than good with Ethernet connection, often producing more electrical noise. Speed doesn't make any difference as long as it is adequate (pretty much any computer) since timin... | |
