| Expensive Dac to keep or cheaper and change overtime Hallelujah @charles1dad 😎 | |
| Synthesis 27AC vs COINCIDENT DYNAMO 34SE MKIII I am currently running a Synthesis Essence stereo amp, 25 watts from two pairs of 6l6/5881 tubes. It's on loan from Deja Vu in fact and sounds excellent powering my AN/J's. No personal experience with Coincident or the 27AC specifically. | |
| Expensive Dac to keep or cheaper and change overtime A good sounding DAC is a good sounding DAC full stop for me. I am currently using a 12 or so year old DAC, the Yamamoto YDA-1 and it sounds fantastic. I don't personally care about hi-rez recordings but it can do 24/96 when I come across it. No pl... | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh Try plugging your amp straight into the wall with the after market cord you were previously using. Plugging the amp into a power conditioner was a big no non which you realize now. | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? Try an easy experiment find an interesting used interconnect, the easiest cable to change, and drop it in your system and see what you think. Buying used you can always resell the cable if you don't like it or hear no difference. | |
| Tube Preamp --> Solid State Amp If presumably you bought the X5 from this same dealer and like it you could always trade it in for the Michi amp and get a tube pre to put in front of it. A much more expensive option of course! | |
| This Sounds Like A Pretty Good Deal -- Opinions? @allenf1963 If you want to post photos just upload them to a photo hosting site like Imgur or Postimage and copy paste the pic right into the thread.

| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? If you want real power with the 300B tube there are a few alternatives but they are crazy $$$ both in terms of the gear and tube cost. For example Canary makes a pair of pushpull 300B monoblocks using 4 300Bs per block. Right there to retube those... | |
| This Sounds Like A Pretty Good Deal -- Opinions? That's an incredible price on the 225 jump on it. | |
| Has anyone noticed a slow down in sales? I think in general January is usually a bit slower as folks deal with bills from holiday spending and such. | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh Try moving your speakers back towards the wall a bit to augment the bass and consider adding a sub. | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? Erik I think the problem is twofold there are just so many online publications not to mention Youtube reviewers. And a lot of reviewers seem to be reviewing the same gear as their competitors. And as stated above so much bad writing, I guess at ... | |

| Hey, how do you post pics? If you want to post in a thread the pic it just needs to be hosted anywhere online and you can copy/paste right into the thread. | |
| Need help diagnosing a preamp problem I've heard the Switchcraft jacks Shindo uses can be a bit flimsy it very likely is a bad RCA jack as suggested by @mulveling above. |
