Buying Used Equipment on the Internet Venmo and F&F PayPal are red flags, I just keep looking. Unless, as some have said, known acquaintances may be exception to this otherwise followed rule. | |
Don Sachs Owners Thread There have been different configurations, but I believe that the buffers are on the right. | |

Don Sachs Owners Thread Hi Andy, left right. Disagreements on tubes are to be expected. Two Ken Rads, Raytheons, etc. from the same batch may sound different as most were largely man made. Worse, Mr. X has amp A, while Mr. Z has amp B. Hot tubes offset crap coupling caps... | |
Schiit yggdrasil + Less Is More vs. Denafrips Pontus II I owned a Schitt Yggdrasil OG and was considering a LIM conversion. Schitt reluctantly admitted that the LIM has less detail. Less detail reminds me of a Spring 3 KTE. The OG can be bright on a few recordings, depending upon the rest of your syste... | |
Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k Don Sachs makes great components. | |
Tube amps - what 3 things… From what I hear DHT is right, but budget and such matter. Rule 1 though is GIGO, garbage in, garbage out. My system with an old PS Audio 200C or Acoustat 3l200 watt amp would sound good, but my Mark Levinson smokes them both. OTOH, if I had a $10... | |
Is Imaging Worth Chasing? paul6002 Simply put, chasing ANYTHING in audio is a personal choice/preference. What I believe/enjoy is ultimately relevant to me, and I only care what others think if I am buying something, but as I don't actually know the predilections of th... | |
How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? If only price were a good guide. There are many DACs that will trounce your DAC, and some may cost less, I don't know about that end, but it certainly would be possible. The problem is that we have limited exposure and we don't all agree as to wha... | |
Thiel 03a speakers It doesn't sound like a tweeter problem if you get no reading from the crossovers. Being that it's both channels it sounds like they are shot, but not if they are not getting a signal. Meniscus audio used to rewire coils, you can contact them and ... | |
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno Hi rrrItmac1700, I suspect that a Mark Levinson 27.5 would fix your problem. Short of that a PS 200C or CX, but they are a bit colored compared to the neutral 27.5. Lou | |
Thiel Owners Hi maplegrovemusic, the 7's need a powerful amp, any clipping and you will blow the tweeters. I have a pair, but I am not set up to use them as they need to be on the long wall, so they are collecting dust... Lou | |
Vandersteen 2CE Signature III — video review on YouTube by Steve Guttenberg (1/15/2023) Hi patrickdowns, being a long time critic of Vandersteens it doesn't surprise me that making the treble more accurate bothers many. Every time I listened to the older version they sounded similar to whatever I had IF you tossed a thick towel over ... | |
How much should I spend on a new DAC Hi jetter, We literally have buildings miles apart with fiber between them. Fiber is great when working well, but it's a pain when it's not. I don't know if they sell tools to clean Toslink connections, but we use tools that look like they have de... | |
Don Sachs Owners Thread The Shuguang tubes Don was using prior to the Linlai tubes are pretty good, IME. I just did a better/worse between the Linlai and Soviet tubes and the Soviet tubes were fuller where the Linlai tubes tapered off sooner. The Soviet tubes just sound ... |
