| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? They don't sound the same to me at all even at approximately the same price range. Right now I'm comparing a Denafrips Pontus ll against a Tubadour lll which are both R2R.Initial impression is the Tubadour is clearer with a cleaner attack. The Den... | |
| Which frequency to adjust if voices/mids give me a headache. @wrecked I'm sensitive to high frequencies also.If you Google "frequency chart for instruments" several bar graphs will pop up that show where instruments and vocals fall along the frequency range.That should help narrow it down. | |
| Magnepans and dogs I've got three dogs.One trots into the room and lays in his sweet spot as soon as I turn the tubes on to warm up for a few minutes. He seems to enjoy male vocalists the most,stretches out on his side and chills.Dog number two joins us sometimes if... | |
| Aric Audio and my system Thank you for posting your experiences. Congratulations on preserving and asking questions until you put together the system that's just right for you. I've owned one of Aric's amps for several years and remain extremely happy with it. | |
| Experience with Modwright products? Just sold my KWA100SE to TMR a few days ago. Not because I didn't like it, only because I dread swapping it out with the tube amp each summer. It is a very nice,dead quiet, smooth, and powerful beast.Dan is real gentleman. I never needed service b... | |
| Happy Audiophile Day! Happy listening everyone! | |
| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance @w123ale as I read your original post I was nodding my head yes.As you already see you definitely aren't alone. I'm at the point myself where I know my room needs a little more help but my overall satisfaction is 90+% with how the music sounds.I d... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... Some of enjoy very old recordings that were recorded way before protools. They somehow sound real and wonderful. I'll keep my equipment. | |

| Idalia and Power Issues Good luck to you. Hope it's merely inconvenient and not disastrous. | |
| Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube? @decooney I am thinking the same about how many people have actually tried several new production tubes before dismissing them as sounding horrible. After some experimentation over the years with both NOS and new, my amp sounds the best it ever ha... | |
| Driver Tubes 6922 NOS tubes will test as new but not always look shiny and new.The reason they are rarely in the original box is the old thin cardboard disintegrated long ago so they often appear in rough shape.Brent will take care of it. He's a good guy. | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? I haven't watched the video yet but I will later on.Thanks for posting it. I used to have a Vincent (tubed) CDP which I was extremely happy with. It wasn't as resolving as my current equipment,but after some tube rolling I had no desire to ever up... | |
| How serious are you? Listening is an 8.Upgrading is a 3.The day isn't complete unless I can settle in front of the system and listen to music for an hour at least. | |
| playing "top-damaged" CDs ? Warm soapy water should work. Just like soaking a label off of a glass jar. |
