| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Just read the review on the Ypsilon active and passive preamp. Anyone compared the passive one to a LSA? Only a $25,500 price difference :-):-) | |
| Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End What about Mike Tyson? In his prime, the baddest man on earth and not a small man. Also Aaron Neville ... I was shocked the 1st time I saw him singing.I think Audiofeil point is there is no relationship between ones stature and volume of their voi... | |
| Benchmark VS Mark levinson 36 DAC ????????? Shadorne and Kijanki, Anything is possible ... my friend and my unit were purchased ~1.5 years apart from different dealers, ran XLR ... It's also very possible we are not as impressed with the stock units as you guys. Take Care! | |
| Benchmark VS Mark levinson 36 DAC ????????? Shadorne, I think the opposite is true if it's overdriving the next device in the audio chain ... sound will be bright, edgy, hard ... It's just didn't sounded very good soft or loud. In the PCX mod, Chris Johnson replaces/voices the whole analog ... | |
| Benchmark VS Mark levinson 36 DAC ????????? Kijanki, this is the reason if you like it, go for it :-)I heard the Benchmark in very sophisticated systems where it was the least expensive component including cables. I cannot stand brightness so it's possible the problem is NOT the Benchmark?? | |
| Benchmark VS Mark levinson 36 DAC ????????? 06-09-11: KijankiI was and still am, for a change, impressed with stock Benchmark.Go for it if you are impress with it. How it sounds in your system and to you is the most important.I never found stock to sound bright or forward. It was a little m... | |
| Benchmark VS Mark levinson 36 DAC ????????? Actually stock Benchmark is not very good. I heard it in a system I'm familiar with and was very surprise after reading all the raving accolades. After the PCX mod it was a HUGE improvement and I ended purchasing one. | |
| Rougue Audio Perseus up against McIntosh C2200 From my experience, I agree with Jgiacalo the stock C2200 cheapo Chinese tubes are junk. Settled with Tele ribbed plates and CANNOT believe it's the same preamp. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Paul found a good source for shuguang tubes at REASONABLE prices so maybe CV181-Z will be stock?? | |
| Benchmark VS Mark levinson 36 DAC ????????? If decide on a Benchmark DAC 1, I highly recommend the Parts Connexion (PCX) XLR or RCA mod. In my system, after the XLR mod it's competitive with DAC 4X the price. | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL Glory, congratulations on your system. Sounds like you are having a ball. Have you considered installing central air? A window AC unit? | |
| What will be the data storage method of the future 05-30-11: 6550cWhat is the diff. between "the cloud" and a return to the main frame model? I know the cloud is internet based. I can see pro and cons both ways with the loss of personal freedom.Replace the dumb terminal with a browser. With a brow... | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... If runs in class A, you just need to power on and don't need to play a signal through it. On my MW Transporter, I use a cheapo rectifier tube and just leave it on. | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... Bigredplane, from my experience and many others, BT CV181-Z takes ~300 hours to break in. Patience will be rewarded :-) | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp FYI, Paul said the BT CV181-Z should work fine in a 6SN7 Dude without issues. |
