| Should we use ridiculously priced cables to listen to Rap? Haha awesome thank you sir! | |
| Conrad Johnson CAV 50 Jazz no mistrust was implied or intended dude I promise! And yes Roly any updates? | |
| The one piece of gear you will never sell I'll go with my amp, Deja Vu Audio amp, a push-pull EL34 amp putting out 17 watts per side. I love this amp especially since the Aerovox cap upgrade I did last year. It's reliable, sounds fantastic, and is cheap to retube just 4 EL34's 3 6sn7's an... | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio @jwglista I am with you on ribbon tweeters silk or even a good metal tweeter sounds much smoother and with plenty of highs for my ears. I will also say the Pass is relatively high end as integrated amps go but both the Primaluna and Rogue are mor... | |
| Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio It would be helpful to know the rest of your system, cables in particular. Particularly if you are coming from tubes and are using silver cables, to make a gross generalization, the combo of SS and silver can certainly come across as bright or ana... | |
| Need small size speakers for fireplace. Make sure you get something made of MDF or wood that will burn well but I would at least remove the drivers or crossovers first! ;) | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system @tostadosunidos I wasn't "quick to accuse" nor did I necessarily accuse at all I just felt something should be said after Taters harping on rap/hip-hop over 3 different threads here. Though at this point I think it's pretty apparent that Taters is... | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system @onhwy61 Thank you for articulately stating what I was flailing around trying to say. | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system Let's see its his second thread devoted to why rap is either not music or not worth listening too in just a few days plus he brought up the exact same subject in a totally unrelated thread. Now I didn't call it veiled racism, I said "its beginning... | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system Taters at this point isn't that just about enough on the subject? It's beginning to smack of veiled racism at this point. Music is music and people listen to whatever the hell they want. Let it go. | |
| Conrad Johnson CAV 50 I would agree with that pretty much though I prefer the KT77 to the 6CA7 in my system. I had JJ 6CA7's still have them around as backups. I did also just put in a new quad of Psvane Philips Holland Metal Base EL-34's and they are quite good a bit ... | |
| Conrad Johnson CAV 50 However re-reading it, it's rather confusingly written as there seems to indeed be an active preamp stage incorporated into the CAV50. | |
| Conrad Johnson CAV 50 Jazz no confusion I read this on c-j's website regarding the CAV50:"Because each element of an audio circuit introduces its own sonic colorations, a simple circuit should be expected to yield superior musical performance. At conrad-johnson, we ... | |
| Technical Question - Tube Preamp You do need the DAC in your planned configuration, since you already own the Bryston, assuming you like it, you're all set, just add a tubed preamp as you are intending. | |
| tube amp and spotify Gary sounds like a nice setup, also running Tidal through Sonos, sounds great through my Yamamoto DAC and tube seperates. I can't comment on Wilson-Benesch specifically but I am running Focal or I should say JMlabs, the Original Micro-Utopias. If ... |
