MHDT Havana Questions
I used to leave it on 24/7 when i was breaking it in, now i only switch off after i'm done for the day.Don't mean to sidetrack, i'm using Tungsol tube at the moment and loving it, just last night i put on WE tube back for another try to see if i l... 
Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound
violinist here, i use Siltech, they are very detailed at the same time, smooth and silky. It's detailed as you can tell the recording style, whether live or studio, even the characters of different violin as well. Like a comparison between Stradiv... 
Elac Loudspeakers?
if you listen to mostly rock and jazz, Elac is difficult to beat, the separation of all the instruments and the quality of the tone is amazing, but if you like only acoustic or classical recordings, Elac can be a bit clinical, not saying it's bori... 
Elac Loudspeakers?
I used to have a pair of Elac CL142 floorstanders with 4ohm imp. As it's already been said by the others, it's very revealing, so it's hard work trying to put the right system together. For me it was difficult to get the bass right because my was ... 
Anyone using "jumper" cables?
Thanks for the clear explaination, I'm thinking of jumper cable for the same reason, at the moment my spendors are powered by the Plinius 8200mk2 intergrated. i've seen this guy(whom i bought my plinius from) biwire from Plinius to his speakers, i... 
Cat friendly or actually unfriendly speaker
I Use Plinius 8200mk2 as well, and I have a pair of Spendor SP2/3R bookshelves. They are rather large bookshelves, if your listening room isn't too large, SP2/3R is a good all rounder. I have two cats on my own so i know how annoying it is. As i f... 
PS Audio Digital Link III vs MHDT Paradisea
btw got my tungsol from "new tube world", for me at first i was sceptical about buying used tube made in the 50', but then i read that tube world place is a reputable seller. you can never be too careful, some people print famous brand on their tu... 
PS Audio Digital Link III vs MHDT Paradisea
The rest of my systems are: Plinius 8200mk2 intergrated.Spendor speakers, SP2/3R.My sources are: CEC T51XR, & my wife's sony vaio. I use Siltech cables for CEC, the amp and the speakers. About tubes, it can be challenging to get right tube, li... 
What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates?
My Plinius 8200mk2 is making me very happy, doesn't have the hard SS sound, very transparent and detailed. I have seen Plinius 9200 used on sale, it's a step up from 8200. But if you only like heavy rock and electronic music, Plinius might be too ... 
Sweetest SS preamp for Classical?
Plinius 8200 mk2 or 9200 intergrated, very true to the timbre of the sound, i'm violinist myself so timbre is a big thing for me. Since you don't listen to rock, then you should give Plinius a listen, since its weakness is in rock and electronic m... 
PS Audio Digital Link III vs MHDT Paradisea
Trip,I'm using JTL-5670 Tungsol black plates D getter 1959, straight after i plugged it in, the soundstage became so wide and deep, at first i thought something was wrong with my amp, normally it gets pretty loud around 9:00, then i realised the s... 
DAC with the best midrange ever.....
MHDT Havana, nicely balanced, and involving. 
PS Audio Digital Link III vs MHDT Paradisea
congradulations, now u r listening to music, not hi-fi! I'd say MDHT not as detailed in terms of quantity of details(compared to upsampling), as for the quality of detail, i think one needs to spend 3 times the price to beat MHDT. Do you like the ... 
Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo
1. Jimi Hendrix-woodstock 2. AC/DC(Angus Young) back in black-shame! they had to fade it in the end 3. Fleetwood Mac-Lindsay Buckingham-Tango in the night(this guy is underated) 
PS Audio Digital Link III vs MHDT Paradisea
I'm using MHDT Havana as well, my friend who owns PS Audio digital linkIII came to my house one day, after hearing my Havana, he said PS Audio produces incerdible details, which he said sometimes it was too much, sometimes he got tired of all thos...
