| Any real experiences with a Luxman C900u and C10x? Just need to add a couple comments: 1. I have a friend who owns a Luxman 509 integrated. It sounds superb. The descriptors I'm reading in this thread don't reflect my own experience. I think Luxman equipment sounds excellent. 2. Over the last s... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread Greetings - I posted another version of the questions below on another thread started by a Psvane employee posting as "Melody". I am reposting my questions here for your convenience. I have obtained answers to come of my questions so I have redu... | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs Couple thoughts: First, I think you're on the right track. Having had my own system significantly improved/refined by upgrading my cables, I've reluctantly accepted that cables are too important to be disregarded. A comment about the idea of "en... | |
| Has anybody had experience with Jena Labs Haldi AES-EBU digital cable Hi @teajay Thanks for following up with the question. Regarding the differences between the Valkyrie and the Njoyrd, I'd have to say the Njord is better. As it should be, for the very high price. The Valkyrie unseated my previous SPDIF cable, th... | |
| Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions Revelation Audio Raven would be my choice from your original list. No question. A highly regarded designer who has keenly refined the circuit topology and parts list. These things are important. Nay, critical, essential. People often refer to the... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? I commend the OP for starting this thread. And I think his perception that he's barely using a watt is probably accurate. I often advocate the use of a simple app on a smartphone to measure sound pressure levels. I use Decibel X PRO. Using that ap... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Hey Supratek owners - Quick question - what rectifiers and regulator tubes are you using? Anybody out there rolling these? and, if so, what are your opinions about the best sound? I'm running a Mazda GZ32 as a rectifier and the standard 6N3C reg... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century @galleybob No, it does not. | |
| List Of Small Company Tube Amps This list is a very worthwhile endeavor. Here are two I'll add: Supratek (Mick Maloney from Australia. See the "Preamp Deal of the Century" thread in "most popular of all time" tab on this forum) Alan Eaton Also, if it hasn't already been me... | |
| 300B, 2A3 experiances wanted @jasonbourne71 I think you're referring to Joe Roberts. Otherwise, all your comments about Sound Practices are right on target. A very worthwhile magazine and reference for the ages. BTW, for those who might be reading this thread but unable or u... | |
| Has anybody had experience with Jena Labs Haldi AES-EBU digital cable Hi @johnah5 Your comment about the Jena Labs Haldi got me curious. I never got to hear that one, but was able to audition the Njord in my system. Wow! Fantastic! However, far above my budget. I ended up replacing my Cardas Clear (which is very go... | |
| Upgrade Digital Cable Review My .02 story - When I bought a standalone DAC I needed a digital cable to connect my CD player. I went to a local shop that sold Nordost and Shunyata. They sent me home with a cost-effective cable from Nordost and also a Nordost Blue Heaven. The... | |
| Interconnect priority My experience is consistent with the source first approach. It is annoying to hear these differences, especially with loaned cables, because once I hear it, I want it all the time. It is just $$$. | |
| Futterman. Jump in? Or, not so fast... @unreceivedogma I decided to stick with my humble Quad 909. Simplicity and reliability and the ability to "set it and forget it" are important considerations. I do appreciate that perhaps I was worrying unnecessarily about the Futtermans. But i... |
