| Mirror Audio Tubador DAC recommendations I like the fact that the Tubador DAC has no upsampling. Presently, I'm using a BorderPatrol DAC SE and it is really good ~ $1595. I'd certainly look into this one prior to purchase.Regards, | |
| best interconnect at decent price I've gone through a number of interconnects (and speaker-cables) over the decades, however started to look at inexpensive ones just to try, instead of chasing the elusive absolute-sound mega-buck cables ! I stumbled upon Audio Envy cables and ha... | |
| Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ? I'm still using the Sophia mesh-plates. I gave up on the Royal Princess a good while ago. I am looking for a good replacement for the Princess mesh-plates. I have heard the Emission-Labs solid plates, not the mesh. The sound is good but notabl... | |
| Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ? Yes... The Sophia mesh-plates are really as you say, a hole-punched piece of metal rather than a true woven mesh. They do sound good however but also run at about max for a mesh-plate. They lasted fairly well but I don't like that one I got had ... | |
| Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ? Thanks for this information. I have heard the Emission-Labs 300-B (not the XLS variant) and they sound good however not as good (in my opinion) as my Sophia Princess mesh-plates tubes. I'm looking for a substitute, as I believe I'm on borrowed t... | |
| Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ? Here here ! Most 300-B tubes I have tried sound good. The subtle differences are in the Mfg and elements used I believe. As for the amps, yes... the PSU's and other components (ie... transformers) help make up or color the sound. I have a Bo... | |
| Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ? Thanks to all of you so far with your supportive comments... I think that music-reproduction quality is definitely in the ears of the beholder. No one has said positive things about Sophia's reliability, so I'll keep steering clear of their prod... | |
| Pass Labs I have listened to First-Watt J2 and SIT-2 in comparison on my system with fairly-efficient speakers (Living-Voice OBX-RW 6-ohms 93-db) and both are very good sounding amps. The SIT-2 IMHO is the best sounding solid-state amp I've ever heard on m... | |
| Speaker cables if your amp isn't between your speakers Another really terrific speaker cable is the Audio-Envy NV-SP5. Very reasonable price and notably improved the sound of my system. The owner (Captain) is very easy to work with and has a I believe 45-day return policy if not happy with them. Th... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? This is a little long so please bear with me. This is a tough call as many above have stated with their choices. Personal preference drives this, however there are differences that I've found but not what I'd consider jaw-dropping. I went throu... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables I've tried a number of cables over the years, all with their own unique sonic-signature. I try to steer-clear of cables with higher capacitance in general as they seem to roll-off the treble. That said, I have to agree with gdnrbob and nonoise ... |
