| Review: Oppo BDP 83 CD Player Hi...quick update at over 220 hours. Wow...as a transport, it has improved dramatically. Much greater detail than before. Very natural sound....has an ease which I would love to compare to some great transports out there.Trying to compare to Esote... | |
| Review: Oppo BDP 83 CD Player Brief update @ 160+ hours burn-in:- getting better handle on the character of this sound- continuing to relax- very detailed...possibly more even frequency response than Zanden- in certain complex passages in the lower registers, I sense the Oppo ... | |
| EAT Tube Damper Hi...Thanks Samhar...sounds interesting! will investigate. where did u find them? | |
| EAT Tube Damper Thanks, Samhar! Always great to get advice from experienced A'Goners! I will probably wait a bit on getting add'l Amperex 7308's...so in the meantime may well try to listen to a few others. All I know is with the Amperex 7308 US/gold pin, I am 'do... | |
| Wilson Maxx 2 vs Sonus Faber Stradivari Hi...just an update on my own Strads and my question above about switching cables. I switched out my Mullard 7308 tube for an Amperex 7308 (US, gold pins)...that kept all the musicality of my Mullard and added "a light" to the voices and upper reg... | |
| EAT Tube Damper Hi Samhar,So I finally put the Amperex 7308 (US...gold pins) into my Zanden DAC...replaced the Mullard 7308 which I think is a fantastic tube.So here goes....It is hard to call anything 'better' when (as most of us would agree) the tube's sound is... | |
| Wilson Maxx 2 vs Sonus Faber Stradivari Thanks, Argyro! Nice system...I had thought very hard about Wavac having heard so many amazing things about it...but could not get hold of one to audition. I am very happy with my s/hand Antileon anyway. ;). As for Stealth, from what I have read, ... | |
| EAT Tube Damper Hi Samhar!Guess that's the goal...enjoy the music! ;) I know exactly how you feel...I really need to check out the Amperex, but I am really happy just listening to music. Maybe switch tubes this weekend? We'll see! Enjoy the TT...sounds amazing! L... | |
| Wilson Maxx 2 vs Sonus Faber Stradivari Thanks, Kops! I will look into them...the key is finding someone in London who sells them. Lloyd | |
| Wilson Maxx 2 vs Sonus Faber Stradivari Hi Shane...Have u broken 300 hours yet? I have placed everything on new equipment rack...3" thick birch ply with black african sapele veneer and piano gloss finish. It sits decoupled on top of 1.5" slab of slate. Wow...took 4 guys to carry it. But... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Update:- Changed my equipment rack. A 300 lb custom rack, 3" Birch ply sides- African black sapele veneer in high piano gloss finish- all on top of a 1.5" thick slab of slate...but decoupled- the sound is tighter, more controlled, the soundstage m... | |
| Wilson Maxx 2 vs Sonus Faber Stradivari Spatine,Thanks for your comments. Sorry for your disappointment. Such is the roadtrip of audiophiles in search of great sound. Speaking for the 2 speakers you heard, I found Maxx's to sound great with ARC equipment, and 'ok' with Krell (unless the... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? PAD Contego is fully burned in...immediate improvements. Soundstage is much bigger, more powerful, yet with a detailing and presence that remain organic...more organic than the stock cable. But perhaps the best change is the lower noise floor...al... | |
| Wilson Maxx 2 vs Sonus Faber Stradivari ohhh...one more thing. REgarding amplification, the Strad sounds very, very good on medium powered tubes...i used to run it with a cJ mv60...but having gone to full Class A SS, i will say that i prefer the bass being WAAY more powerful and tigher,... | |
| Wilson Maxx 2 vs Sonus Faber Stradivari Hi Spatine,i own the Strads and compared them against the Maxx 2 in the same system before buying the Strads. I also am very familiar with Grand Slamm III and Alexander X2 (not v2). I was looking for soulfulness first, with powerful bass, volume a... |
