| Considering switching to Tubes You might like to try Y S Audio. They have tube integrated amps starting at HK$13900. I have had a Y S Audio preamp for 10 years and it has been very good and very reliable. To get the very best sound you might need to change the 12AX7 and 12AU7 t... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? When I started this thread I mentioned that neither myself or the audio shop salesman could tell the difference between my fake Cardas Clear Light and the real thing. Geoff Kait seems to think that is not possible but I wonder how many Chinese cab... | |
| What does Roon do? I have read what is on Google and the Roon website as suggested and it appears to me, as my equipment is certainly not Roon ready, I would have to replace a considerable portion of my system to use Roon. Not going to happen and I guess I'll stick ... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? Re geoffKait. Most golf clubs these days, including all the big names are manufactured in China and only assembled in the USA. Are you guys in the USA only good assemblers? I think this whole argument is going round in circles as the Chinese mob I... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? re rlb61 post. Neither you nor I know if the cables in China are assembled by child labour but almost certainly they used cheap labour, at least cheaper than the USA. But on the morality issue are you really sure your sneakers, shirts, pants etc e... | |
| HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution??? I bought an Audio Experience Symphonies from Y S Audio in Hong Kong about 9 years ago for around $300 and had some mods done here in Australia for another $250. The mods consisted mainly of replacing the caps with Blackgates ( no longer available)... | |
| Question About DACs Like you I had read about the huge improvement in dacs in recent years and wondered if my 10 year old Exemplar/Denon player was out of date. I decided to buy a Topping D50 given the excellent measurements and reviews, together with an affordable ... | |
| What area or country do you live in ? Shell Cove , NSW, Australia. Hi Fi desert. | |
| DAC chips You're quite right how it sounds in your system is the most important question. But how do you know how it sounds. Retailers in Australia carry limited stock and most are unwilling to lend out,except maybe for the stupidly named Dave and Hugo dac... | |
| DAC chips So what are the different characteristics of the two dacs.My main concern about the ESS dac is whether the so called hump in the frequency range is audible. | |
| Recommendation for DAC needed. I must confess I am clueless when it comes to DACs as I have never thought I needed one. However my Denon/Exemplar CD player is close to 10 years old and given supposed advances in digital technology it is probably time to consider a DAC, although... | |
| Threat of fire from audio equipment I had a Nu Vista preamp years ago which incinerated itself due to the dumb design. Double decker electronics in a small case with no heat sinks or visible outlets was an accident waiting to happen. Fortunately the guy who did all my repairs and mo... | |
| pre amp tubes Thanks for that. I am using a modified (mainly Blackgate caps) YS Audio pre into a Rogue Stereo 90 power amp on the electrostatic panels of my bi amped Martin Logan Vantage speakers and an Acurus A250 on the base units. The pre came with Phillips ... | |
| How are you hearing no difference? Here's a tip which costs nothing, nada, and you will hear a difference. Just cup your hands behind your ears. Even if you like the sound I know it's a real pain keeping your hands in place but you will hear a difference. I recall that too many yea... | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. I've got the new SP4 speaker cables and love them. Don't know what the old SP4s sounded like but instead of just talking about it why not try them. If you don't like what you hear get a full refund. |
