| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR All right already the suspense is killing me. Would anyone be willing to send Charles1dad the Takatsuki ta 300b's so we can put this to rest. Just kidding it would be nice to have all three pairs at hand to see the victor. | |
| I've narrowed it down... Great posts, I see what Atmosphere is trying to convey. I personally like tubes better than solid state, but I think some local feedback is needed with most speakers to control the back wave of the woofer. When I say some feedback I mean very litt... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Charles1dad is right my tongue was tied. | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna I am so happy that my preamp is direct coupled with transformers, so I don't have to worry about capacitors in the signal path. I, however have know doubt that the Duelund's are the best caps going right now. | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? For 35 years you sure don't show experience. The amp and everything else in the system matters equally. You put your foot in your mouth on this one and with your attitude I don't wish you luck in your endeavor. | |
| Esoteric K-01 vs dCS Puccini Wow I feel great. I owned the PD MPS-5 and I sold it. It sounded very lean in the midrange, not the most musical. My Modright Oppo 95 gives me way more pleasure. Now I don't have to try all the other overpriced digital products. I am interested in... | |
| Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you? Well you are missing out. Chet has a beautiful tone that I like very much. He reminds me of Art Pepper another great tone player, but on saxophone instead. Yes he was in San Quentin big deal, his playing is fabulous drugs and all. | |
| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 I really like the Sylvania's in the Oppo 95. The 6SN7 Sylvania GTB chrome top are very reasonable easy to find and sound great. I have also tried the Sylvania Army Navy 6SN7GT VT-231 with silver near the bottom of the base. These were made earlier... | |
| Amarra 2.3.2 vs Puremusic 1.82 playback software Mbhintz I have been reading that WAV files may sound better than FLAC. I thought that all the high resolution downloading sites do it in FLAC. Are there any that do it in WAV? | |
| Amarra 2.3.2 vs Puremusic 1.82 playback software Why do you have to buy these through a dealer. Does it not make sense to get it direct from amarra. If the dealer gets it at half price why couldn't I become a dealer. The only thing you have to do is down load a program. | |
| Metrum Octave Dac experiences There are other options that I think sound better than the Metrum and that is buying a used Musical Fidelity Trivista DAC you get great upsampling and tubes in the output stage. You can find these for less than 800.00 and my opinion sounds better ... | |
| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 Yes both redbook and SACD were tested. The redbook sounds almost as good as the best SACD's. | |
| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 The Sony has a slight edge in detail, not much though. The Oppo is more organic in the midrange and to me smoother all around. It comes off slightly less mechanical than the Sony. I also think the bass in the oppo is a little more controlled. I ha... | |
| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 Like Rfogel8 says both the Sony and Oppo are great and their flavors are slightly different. One really needs to hear both in their system to truly know. I feel if you buy either one you will be very happy. I will tell you that my modded Sony beat... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Charles1dad well said. |
