| Nola Boxers vs. Reference 3A Dulcets I've always been intrigued by the Ref 3A line but have only had rare, brief listens at shows. I did get to set up Nola Boxers recently in my 13'x17.5' listening room and they were extremely engaging. Flexible in placement options, nice broad and d... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Jafox, you will also find that after a few hundred hours of listening you will be somewhat " re-conditioned" into how natural reproduced music has become via the L6. There will never be any feeling of "artificiality" to your music room ( not assum... | |
| Thoughts on Clear Day vs Grover Huffman SC's? I can chime in a little about GH's only, but sorry: not the speaker cables yet. I just purchased one pair of his I/C's however and finished about 150 hours on them...they sound fantastic. This one (1.5M) pair added such an open, natural, free-flow... | |
| 6550/KT-88 in a Cary V12r Your experience with the EH KT-88's is similar to mine. When I first used my V12R I was running the stock Ruby EL-34's and they were pretty much "classic EL-34 sounding" with their great mids and fairly rolled off highs with adequate yet satisfyin... | |
| True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good? Hello all, just my two cents from almost 40 years as an audio- fool ( always chasing the holy grail system). When i heard my first " high end" system it was early Maggies which were actually being bi-amped with pure class A SS on top and A/ AB on ... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Another vote here for the Sistrum stands as they are a serious performance improvement. Robert at Star Sound is a pleasure to deal with and very knowledgeable. While he obviously carries some pricey stands which I have no doubt will be exceptional... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Welcome to the world of Lampizator. Make yourself comfortable right here in the center,and you'll finally realize why they call it the SWEET spot.As for swapping tubes, let it all break in first and learn the sound, then you can experiment.Enjoy | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Me too, in both, love em in both, as per our previous discussion. BTW Bugredmachine, I will "support" (pun intended) your homemade isolation platform (steel plate with points) as improving clarity as I use a sistrum under mine and it is a signific... | |
| Rogue M180 or Antique Sound Lab Hurricane DT? Great choice! Good luck and enjoy the heck out of them!!!! | |
| Does The Squeezebox Touch Have a Worthy Successor? I bought a SB Touch last year, OBM and great shape. My computer friend set it up for me to play into my Dac...it's a great dac, using a nice dedicated digital cable via spdif. OK. Used it once, OK. A few weeks later, the same friend saw a nice upg... | |
| Rogue M180 or Antique Sound Lab Hurricane DT? Rogue Audio makes some nice equipment that sounds really good. It is made here in the fledgling USA. It has excellent customer service based on living and working here. No one can say it doesn't have very good parts and build quality, and it's all... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Hi Bill, I understand your hesitancy when it comes to losing the beauty of the Jensen's warmth but it sounds like you have some warmth to spare considering the EL-34's in the Thor (I love that tube, its been my long term favorite output tube for a... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Hi Bill, I'm pretty familiar with the Jensens and you have described them accurately...they are a "feel good" cap that will make most systems lean to the 'pleasant' side of real. They are very seductive in that regard and even in a generally well ... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Charles, I had met him a few months ago and those were my same impressions of Lukasz...add to your list his 'humble' persona and sprinkle it with both audio engineering brilliance and an [obviously] discerning ear... and I agree with your predicti... | |
| Speaker Set-Up: Use of a Plumb Bob Hello, Onhwy61 gives true advice, the closer they are to exactly imitating each other, the more exact everything is going to sound. I believe that after all else is said and done, many people neglect the last ounce of attention to detail with rega... |
