| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Thanks George! That is very, very helpful. You have given me much to consider. I have always like the CJ Act 2. I also liked the Arc Ref 3 (which is balanced). As for cables, I have spoken to my dealer who sells both Dreams and PAD. He walked me t... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Kops,Also...what in particular stands out in your mind about the sound of the Stealth Dreams PC with your Antileon...vs other Power cables...and what other cables did you audition? Thanks! | |

| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? wow...there is a new SF flagship? now that IS interesting!!!where do i learn more about it? | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Hi Emre...great system!!! It would be fun to compare the sounds of our systems which share some components and 'themes' (Strads and Class A/very high quality SS) but have important differences as well (DCS/Valhalla vs Zanden/Transparent Ref). I no... | |
| EAT Cool Dampers?? Hi Musicman159 i own the EAT tube damper. hope description below helps.i have a Zanden DAC which takes one 6922 tube...Jan Phillips is suprisingly musical but outrageously microphonic. Only tilting the dac with weights on top could dampen it! I sw... | |
| Seeking a "high end" integrated amplifier I concur with the positive feedback on Vitus. I know very, very experienced people whose ears i trust and can calibrate to my own having shared listening and auditioning sessions with them. Vitus is one pretty incredible amp. Built like a supertan... | |
| EAT Tube Damper Thanks for the advice. I have certainly seen Brent Jessie's name and read of his excellent reputation. Thanks.As for PC's, Sam, I am awaiting an add'l PAD Dom Ferox and PAD Ann Contego to complete all my components...DAC, pre, amp, sub and from wa... | |
| EAT Tube Damper Thanks, Samhar. I have read your other posts before and appreciate your advice. I ordered a Mullard E88CC/6922 tube and an Amperex 7308 from Andy's Vintage Tubes. Andy was very helpful on the phone and I am looking forward to hearing these tubes a... | |
| can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss? Hi Lloydc,I crossed back over into SS land a few months ago, though not entirely. I was all tube (DAC, Pre, Amp) and now have gone with SS Class A amp (s/hand Gryphon Antileon). My speakers are also Sonus Faber, so i get an organic quality to my s... | |
| PC on power supply for cd player Agree with Detlof. I have Zanden DAC Signature with sep power supply. Huge improvement with PAD Dominus Ferox and Ann Contego. I use both since I've got a PS Audio Quintet to provide surge protection. | |
| I've heard the MartinLogan CLX.... WOW I concur that the Apogees are something else. Stages, Grands and Duettas...all incredible in a way that few other speakers before (or since) can match. My question (i honestly dont know the answer) is on repairs and longevity going forward for the... | |
| I've heard the MartinLogan CLX.... WOW Hi Mr. Tennis,I have seen your posts and respect your passion for tubes (MV125 in particular). I owned CJ MV60 for 9 years and still own CJ pre. I have never heard the Maggie 20.1s but have read it is a great speaker. The many Maggies I have heard... | |
| Pass Labs Power Cord In my own experience with Gryphon Antileon amp (100 watt pure Class A), to Lightminers point, I have found the Dominus Ferox to make a big difference. I have spoken with other A'Goners off-line who also concurred that upgrading the stock PC on Gry... | |
| Purist Aqueous PC vs. Dominus PC for CD player I have compared Aqueous vs Dominus Ferox in my system. I concur with Tvad. Dominus gives a very authoritative sound with refinement and extension that surpass the Aqeous by a solid margin. I have not heard Fluid. I have 1 Purist Anniversary, 1 Dom... |
