| Problems with my Tri-Vista 300--Need some help Why don't you have the dealer who sold it to you off the internet get it fixed? Or is this guy not an authorized MF dealer? This sucks. You bought it new, it should be warrantied. | |
| Rogue 99 Mag re-tube Q Even though Rogue says the mu-follower, or second position tubes (these are the left tubes), have a small effect on the sonics, this is not true. They have a considerable effect, though not as much as the first position tubes. It is definitely mor... | |
| Vintage tubes skyrocketing in price Tkfaudio, you got it right, guy! A tube with 1000's of hours on it can measure "NOS". That's the rub. Ask Bob at Eurotubes, one of the nicest and most honest guys in the business. He opened my eyes to this fact. His years in the tube arena taught ... | |
| Pass XA 160 review:life span is 6 years? Certain amps' circuit design parameters stress components more than others. Case in point, Krell amps, at least older ones, are said to be hard on electrolytic caps (the big ones). You will see people periodically mention that they had to change t... | |
| Review: H2o Audio Signature Monoblocks Others who has posted on other audio websites have said the midrange is thin & astringent. | |
| DAC for my HHB Burnit I've owned the Bel Canto DAC2, and I never found it 'closed in' or 'dark' at the top. If anything, it is slightly to the sunny side of neutral in the treble. | |
| Kimber Palladian power cord vs. Non Palladian... What about the non-Palladian cords? Who can detail how they compare, say the PK10 Gold, to other $300 or $400 cords? | |
| Musical Fidelity X-DAC v3 Vs Tri Vista 21 DAC Maybe your speakers have a bloated, ill-defined midrange, needing something brighter and etched to give clarity. Voices are incredibly detailed and lifelike on the TriV DAC. See my review of the TriV DAC. | |
| Review: Musical Fidelity TriVista 21 DAC DA converter Additional thoughts: I want to emphasize how this DAC has the ability to clearly delineate instrument positions in space and keep them separate without homogenizing with each other. In certain recordings, I found the Bel Canto gave a clustering ef... | |
| Review: Musical Fidelity TriVista 21 DAC DA converter I forgot to list my preamp - it is a Rogue M99...... As far as break in, I think it has about the time on it you suggest, but some may be on time, not play time.Yes, the soundstage is incredible, and, as you suggest, it just lets you in, no listen... | |
| Rogue 99 vs. BAT 3i If you have microphonic problems with all the tubes you've used, then you've gotten microphonic tubes pawned off on you by some of the greedy and dishonest tube dealers of whom there are enough. I have the inexpensive Russian NOS which Rogue used ... | |
| Rogue 99 vs. BAT 3i I own a Rogue M99 and feel the above comments are over harsh. Yes, the remote makes a sound through the speaker when you operate it, but it has never been a big issue for me. The $6000 Pass X-1 makes clicking sounds when the remote is operated. I ... | |
| Voodoo/Tsunami Power Cords When I first bought Tsunami +, I swapped it for the Synergistic Master AC in my amp. The improvement was substantial. Bigger, fuller, more body, more bass impact, more extension on top. I placed the Synergistic in the preamp. I then placed a 2nd T... | |
| Musical Fidelity Tri-vista 21 DAC Some further thoughts. You guys saying it sounded 'organic' are correct. It has a wholeness, a correctness, and a minor richness that just really sound right and sound like the real thing. I'm excited. (Remember SNL's Chris Farley as Lauri Davis? ... | |
| Musical Fidelity Tri-vista 21 DAC I've only had mine several days, though broken in. At first I had reservations, but I now am almost stunned at the realness of the sound. Images are incredible:: there is a 3D but perfectly clear, defined, round. With a you-are-there sort of recre... |
