| Amp straight into the wall I can report that plugging my Coda #16 power amp into my PS Audio P15 will very noticeably restrict dynamics. Even thought about selling this wonderful amp until I decided to plug it directly into the wall. Then I went a step further and installed... | |
| Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people. Mark Schneider (Linear Tube Audio) Dan Wright (Modwright) Jose Ramirez (Dr Vinyl) Gary Gill (Capital AudioFest, Pacific Audiofest) Bob Grost (Cerious Technologies) | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? Who says we can’t? I have a pair of highly modified circa 1960 Altec Lansing 1570B mono block on the way from John Tucker (Exempler Audio) and these sound incredible, far better than the Tutay version. | |
| Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ? @soix The Rhythm 1.3 has a fuller sound stage and an even more refined, realistic image. It really shows you why a good preamp is important and don’t get me wrong because the MZ preamp is a killer pre and same with the MZ2. Don’t forget the Rhyt... | |
| Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ? I am a huge LTA fan and love my MicroZOTL Preamp. I did recently purchase a Backert Rhythm 1.3 for a second system. The Rhythm is clearly superior to the MZ Pre but at twice the price. I wish I could comment on the Rhumba but I have never heard th... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I have a DS Audio Grand Master cartridge. I just can’t believe it gets any better than this. Absolute joy to listen to. | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @charliee Patience will pay off if you want great sounding cables. Bob runs a very small business, he doesn’t have a receptionist, sales team or 9 - 5 employees to answer phones and emails. He could be on vacation or off watching his daughter ge... | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @charliee I’m not familiar with them | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @charliee you should contact Bob. Email is the best way to get him. There was a trial period a few years back when I got my cables. He has some new products coming. | |
| Modwright LS100 vs LTA MicroZOTL @mdrone The short answer is yes but not at the sacrifice of clarity or a noisy veil. It is the first preamp that improved the sound of my amp by a good margin. The ZOTL Pre is also sensitive to tube rolling so richness yes. | |
| Modwright LS100 vs LTA MicroZOTL I love Modwright products and have 2 modified Oppo’s. I have not listened to the LS100 so I can’t comment on it. I have owned an MZ2 and I have a MicroZOTL preamp. The MicroZOTL preamp is a keeper for life and the MZ2 can’t be beat at the price in... | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value I normally would not say Phono Cartridge but the new DS Audio Optical cart will render all MC carts obsolete. It’s that good. | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables Bob, I’m glad you’ve recovered from this. I understand since I’m of that age where I seem to be going to the doctor constantly. I’m still listening to my system through your brilliant cables. I can’t wait to hear these new speakers you speak of. ... | |
| What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly? I have found these cable manufacturers to be my top picks: Townshend, Zenwave, Cerious Technology | |
| A preamp recommendation +1 for the Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3. It’s the best preamp I’ve owned but If the price of the Backert is too steep then the LTA is my next recommendation. |
