| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house I heard mixed reviews of the TAD rooms. The word flat was bandied around. Not up to their normal standards.It would be news if there was no mixed reviews. When is there ever consensus in this hobby? Since there are many familiar with TRL in this t... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Many members on this thread are familar with TRL Samson ... TRL SS sound. It doesn't sound like SS or tubes but just music. I tell ya, it's a superb match with the TAD E1. It's competitive with all MORE expensive SS amps I've demoed. Along with my... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house I decided to stick with the Offramp and just purchased the Dynamo power supply for the Offramp. Perhaps someday I can compare both the Lampi converter and the Offramp. Like to hear both in my system.I can't comment on the sound but the Lamp transp... | |
| Wilson Maxx 3 the Maxx 3 presents height, width, depth in a way few speakers can...also adjusts it's presentation...so if it's meant to be small..it is...large it is...The large is what some speakers struggle with...Jfrech, are you having regrets moving from Wi... | |
| Upgradying Tube Preamp I have 2 friends with Audible Illusions and they roll Reflektor 6H23N-EB. It's durable with excellent sound. AI is definitely more neutral compare to SLP-05. | |
| Upgradying Tube Preamp In general, I agree with all the comments regarding preamps. Preamp has to work with a low level signal so it's difficult to build one that preserves the integrity of orig signal. Plus the ability to drive amps properly with enough features. From ... | |
| Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo Rsf507, It's funny how we all hear different things. LOL! There's no right or wrong but just personal preferences. For me, more control is not just tighter but sharper and better imaging. I do prefer more bloom, less warmth, more transparency and ... | |
| Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo I agree with Fjn04 you should listen with your amp before making any changes. How and what you listen to will determine the best amp for you.I too heard the Crescendos @SOS. Steve was using Atma-Sphere MA-60 with an Audioformer and I felt with som... | |
| Is anyone using either a Allnic L3000 or L1500? Synergy is the key. I have the Allnic L-1500, Allnic H1201 phono and Allnic Puritas cartridge and find it way to bright with my Krell amps and B&W 801's. me too looking for a resonably priced amp that makes the Allnic sing rather than scream.W... | |
| Magico Q5 and Pass Labs XA200.5 Synergy Wattsperchannel, shopping at this level, you really can't screw up ... they will all sound good but different. | |
| Modwright Oppo 105 - Upgrade Power Supply Tubes? Black Treasure CV181-T was the BEST signal tube in my MW Transporter. I found Sophia 6SN7 to lean for my taste. | |
| Magico Q5 and Pass Labs XA200.5 Synergy Wattsperchannel, If you're considering Magico Q5, do yourself a favor and checkout TAD Reference One before writing the check.For the record, I like Magico so not bashing them. | |
| Modwright Oppo 105 - Upgrade Power Supply Tubes? When I had the MW Transporter, Tung Sol NOS 5u4gb was by far the best rectifier tube. It was musical, bloom, detail ... JJ GZ34 for $18 was also excellent and definitely worth a roll.For reference, I found Mullard GZ34 too warm and rich for my taste. | |
| The future of preamps Audiolabyrinth, I doubt you will have problems with Atma-Sphere MP-1 driving your Krell. Still hesitant, a great alternative is SMC Audio VRE-1C. It's SS and competes with the very best tube pre. Send me PM for more details if interested. | |
| The future of preamps So far no one has pointed out the obvious so maybe it does not need saying, but a review of this thread and several others leads one to believe that George is "defending his turf" by talking trash about competitive active pre-amps. Maybe it's not ... |
