| To Cryo tubes or not to Cryo tubes Cryo is the best for the cost, kill most NOS sorry but thats true in most equipment, for the most part far quieter and yes brings a much bigger soundstage, but will agree that they are better than anything on vinyl source, however will be harder s... | |
| Best preamp is no preamp: always true? Newerphile, My opinion, lost dynamics and frequency extremes, could sound flat and yes make it seem more like a digital boring source. maybe not every case but in most, basically look at it this way a preamp is sorta line level amplification like ... | |
| help with s.s. amp upgrade Raytheprinter, I thank you for pointing out that for some reason my opinion looks offensive, and thought that I would make a suggestion my friend just like any one else did before me on this thread,not sure what side of the bed you fell off onto y... | |
| Best preamp is no preamp: always true? S23chang I think in theory and practice to our ears that could be very true. Also the fact that the meitner comment provides good proof to practice, as I would agree that should be as good as a seperate pre if not better in some case's | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? I think the amps are okay but far overpriced, now McIntosh Preamps are where its at.. Very good for the most part and those super tuff systems that need a little "TLC" with tone controls benifit greatly. I have owned a Krell piece and to explain i... | |

| How is Wadia with fast dynamic music ? Take a look at this thread again, Wadia impression is almost unforgetable, I have been told this by many that have heard my sound, they always remember vs. other systems that memory seems to forget more so.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?d... | |
| How is Wadia with fast dynamic music ? Cenline, I think those are in fact a different system in those modded units of the French like you say, vs. the Digimaster, I would put all my money on Wadia in a shootout either way. | |
| Are first order crossovers best? Yeah I love my Driver cone breakup and distortion, too bad it still sounds best! Crossoverless Zu's see system. Not a single full range however, it uses 2 :) | |
| I am very happy with my progress to this point. Audio mirror DAC is super sweet and higher rated than most, its tube, check my system, it has the khartago's | |
| How is Wadia with fast dynamic music ? Misskuma, well you would have more insight I have only heard other krells, however I own upgraded Wadia's with the best analog components you can get, so is it better who knows?, but digital sounds as analog as a player gets with dynamic punch in ... |
