| Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems I believe the OP is talking about a current production Genalex since he mentions the tube being cryoed. As others have stated sometimes a tube is just bad old or new. A rectifier generally should last a fairly long time. I had a NOS Philco 5ar4 g... | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC @lowrider57 AN dacs of that vintage don’t have USB inputs, mine doesn’t I use coax. You could of course get a usb/spdif converter. As far as questions I wouldn’t stress too much about caps my DAC is Circa 1995 and still going strong. It’s a pretty... | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC https://www.audiogon.com/listings/da-converters-dac-see-photo-2017-11-13-digitalI have an AN DAC-3 Signature I would highly recommend this 2.1 Signature for the sound for which you seem to be looking. | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! I would give Vu at Deja Vu Audio the $20K and ask him to build me a pair of custom horn speakers with vintage drivers. | |
| ECM Now Streaming Great news just queued a few up on Tidal thanks for the heads up! | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Horns sound more like real musicians than conventional speakers, to me at least. | |
| Help me please!!! leog2015 I see well that totally changes things but I agree with folkfreak a good dealer with experience with the brands would be the most helpful. I wish you the best of luck and hope you end up with an amp you love! | |
| Stand alone tweeter? I can't comment on your tweeter situation but it occurs to me you have some very high end equipment tethered to a good but relatively speaking budget speaker. I am not saying it's the cause of your HF issue but it looks like a bit of a mismatch ov... | |
| Help me please!!! So you're going to buy one of those very expensive amps unheard? I would call that a pretty bad move considering their respective price ranges. Asking folks in a forum which amp to buy may make you feel better but its not a panacea, please take th... | |
| Can a Quality Full Range Speaker be the Limiting Component in a system? I think there is some confusion here, I assume David meant a full range "speaker" meaning a loudspeaker with presumably multiple drivers. It seems that some are assuming he meant a single full range driver. David can you clarify what you meant bec... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest You guys know so much more about these drivers than me its a bit humbling to hear you discuss them with such authority. I guess I need to spend more time hanging around Vu's on the weekends! Glad to hear you both liked the CAF speakers better at D... | |
| Can a Quality Full Range Speaker be the Limiting Component in a system? If there is a better speaker out there then of course it can. | |
| Devore O/96 vs Volti Rivals The Volti's are horns and O/96's are conventional box speakers as said above it's apples and oranges. Personally I've fallen pretty hard for horns but as with all things YMMV. | |
