| You favourite Although he many times uses English language in his music, the Japanese genius Riuichi Sakamoto is pretty amazing. | |
| Emm Labs SE combo versus Wadia 581-SE I have the 581se and I disagree with Rtnl when he says that the Wadia will take 1000 hours to break in. Mine was pretty amazing right out of the box. I will say though that after about 200-300 hours it moves to an even better level of production w... | |
| Sleeper preamp suggestions deHavilland Ultraverve or Verve!! Amazing | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player My Wadia 581se sounds pretty amazing...deep, warm and round, with lots of articulation at the top and a full, defined bass at the bottom. IMHO I believe that when you start spending 10,000 and up for a single boxed player that many of the percieve... | |
| 6SN7 based Pre-Amplifier The deHavilland Ultraverve has one 6sn7 tube, two 6ah4 tubes and one 5aw4. Amazing sound with the right vintage 6sn7! | |
| Best short-lived band? Matching Mole, Henry Cow, Hatfield and North, Tuxedo Moon, Egg, Art Bears, Soft Machine, Japan | |
| Your favorite recent discovery Dianne Reeves "A Little Moonlight". I just found this CD at a Goodwill for four bucks! Her voice is fantastic and the song selection is exemplary throughout. The recording quality is as good as it gets. | |
| Need your assiatnce - tube preamp recommendations You might want to look at the deHavilland Ultraverve or the Mercury. I have the Ultraverve and it is excellent (a 6sn7 based preamp). | |
| Zappa plays Zappa rosedanny... You should definately hear "Orchestral Favorites" and the splendid "Yellow Shark", Frank's last recording. "Grand Wazoo" and "Waka Jawaka" are excellent too. If you ever get a chance to listen to "Blessed Relief" (If I recall correctl... | |
| Wadia 861 SE or 581 SE. A couple of things. My new 581SE does not take 15-20 seconds to load...more like about 7-10 seconds. What some percieve as lacking bass, I feel is just a more real presentation across the sprectrum. I only have about 25 hours on mine but already a... | |
| Wadia 301 Vs. Azura 840c The Wadia has very nice sound. Go with the Wadia | |
| Removing progold GN5 from circuit board. Just leave it alone...it will be alright! | |
| Tung-Sol Reissue 6SN7 vs EH 6SN7 - Differences IMHO, if you are using new production 6sn7's in any critical spots in your audio gear, you really don't know how good your system can sound until you try the vintage 6sn7's, i.e., the tung sol round plate, the Sylvania 6sn7w, or even the more reas... | |
| CDP caused tinnitus? I sometimes noticed a definate "tinnitus effect" when listening to my system. Aside from the fact that I am getting older, I believe this ocassional experience of high frequency ringing may manifest from the superior playback ability of high-end e... | |
| Wadia CD players direct to power amps opinions I have used my Wadia both directly to my amp and indirectly with a preamp and I very much prefer the sound with the preamp. However, this preference tends to be personal and is also extremely relative to your speakers, amp choice, cables, etc. In ... |
