| Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade? Bob,The DAC world is moving at an incredible pace. The best part is that we don't have to spend exorbitant amounts of money to achieve near analog sound reproduction.You got that right,90% of my music listening for the last 4yrs is from digital an... | |
| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat tripg,Class d is a cool running option,if you don't like the sound and some people don't then find a Solid state class a/b amp that you like.Probably wouldn't want a tube amp for the heat issues that they can have also.It would help us maybe give ... | |

| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Taking a chance on my DI's worked out really good in my favor,I threw away boxes and packing at the end of the first week.I realize 3k is 3k but what about the other chance I took with 8k in buying the Linear tube audio gear that I pair with my DI... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Blindjim,You are the second person to mention those two items to me this week. Are you involved in any conspiratorial activities lately? lolIs the Linear tube a Dave Berning design?Yes it's supposed to be a secret but we are looking for more membe... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Evolvist,Sounds like you fellas had a lot of fun and I enjoy reading a true evaluation of gear and not just speculation that some folks write.Did you guys play Little Wing by chance,that's one of my favorites.I've been wanting to hear the Ahb2 amp... | |

| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Blindjim,Can you readily identify a 300B, 2A3, 805, 211, etc., amp’s sound with your eyes closed most of the time? You asked this main question and I thought I could give you my opinion on this.I believe to some small degree,along as each individu... | |
| DIY Pass Labs First Watt F5 amp impressions Very nice and fun to build your own amp,I built both the F5 and the turbo version from the kits from the diy store but I wasn't quick enough to buy the nos Sony Vfet's that were available as matched pairs to build the push pull version of the ster... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? blindjim,I can relate to just about everything you have said,I may listen to a little bit different music than you do and have a slightly bigger room,20x25x9 that opens into our kitchen.I have put a lot of effort in matching the right components t... |
