| CD Transport to pair with Audio Note DAC 5 - suggestions? Check out CEC tranports belt driven and a very liquid analog sound that would complement the Dac-5 nicely. I run an AN Dac-3 but just stream so no transport used here but I've heard CEC's and they are great. | |
| Most enduring audio purchase Since this old thread has been resurrected I'll say the JMlabs Micro-Utopias are a couple years gone now but the Deja Vu Audio amp is here to stay. | |
| Tube rolling on Leven CS 600 For an EL34 alternative try the Gold Lion KT77's a great sounding EL34 variant. Also NOS 6L6 tubes are pretty affordable and might warm things up over current iterations. Also oldhvymec is right the small signal tubes have a large impact on the so... | |
| Low volume listening dynamics Great advice from @mikelavigne as usual and another thing high sensitivity gives you is a lot of choice in amps. I run my speakers on a 17 watt class A triode wired pushpull EL34 amp and they sound great at all volumes. Consider a good lower power... | |
| Low volume listening dynamics You are right on track a high sensitivity speaker will give you more liveliness and detail at lower volume. 95db is very high sensitivity my speakers are 93db and do the job nicely as low volumes. | |
| Why no Virtual System pics?? @mikelavigne Agreed system page traffic is not what it once was, I think the problem there is Audiogon separated Virtual Systems and the Forums to some extent. I used to see updates on systems in the forum that would lead me to systems. And yes th... | |
| Why no Virtual System pics?? @millercarbon those tube boxes contain tubes, those are all my various backups plus tubes from past gear I'm not using. | |
| Why no Virtual System pics?? I think my system is over detailed and too many photos.https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/4325 | |
| Metrum Acoustics closed? Well sounds like some internal strife the website makes it sound like the company founder screwed them over and started his own company using their designs. | |
| Tri-wired speaker cables for bi-wire Audio Note AN-E speakers? 5m's is obviously a very long setup, I think the Kimber rec is a good one. I have AN-J/lx's I am using AN Lexus single wire cables with Kimber 4TC jumpers. The jumpers sound excellent. I'll just say too that a lot of AN speaker owners prefer singl... | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 SET @doni the E’s sensitivity is different depending on the specific model, tby is correct yours are 97.5 db should be an excellent pairing with a 2a3 amp.Aric thanks for the detailed reply to Charles’s question as well as the detailed pics on your we... | |
| Anyway to use the DAC in an integrated cd player with an outboard transport? I did some googling and Raysonic 228 does not have a digital input so you cannot use it with a separate transport. | |
| Why don’t tube amps sound like tubes anymore? I was thinking about this more and what I like about my amp is not that it's warm and "tubey". It's that instruments and voices have more tonal color and saturation. They are more dimensional and seem more "there". That about sums it up to me. | |
