| Pathos Logos Tube Rolling? @cypry What system do you have? I currently have some Mullard Blackburn tubes that sound fantastic in my Classic One MkIII. The guy I purchased them from has found Mullard to be his favorite tube and has had both a Classic One and a Cinema X. H... | |
| Recommendation for a highly resolving amp Due to a renovation type project at my house, I had to opportunity to have my system setup at a friends house for a while. The acoustics of our two rooms are very different and my system sounded very different at his house.I don't understand how ... | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? After reading through what others have posted, I wanted to follow up with the numbers from my system. I've never really looked at them from a % perspective.1. Source (20%) Bluesound Node 2i Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC Sparkos Labs up... | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? @limomangus - If you're not willing to give 120% or more then you're not trying :-) | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? I think the biggest flaw in assigning a budget % to each piece of the audio chain is that it doesn't take future changes/upgrades into account. Here's how I would approach building a systems based on my limited experience.First, try to figure out... | |
| Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i As it turns out, the solution to deciding if I preferred the Krell or the Pathos was time and tube rolling. As noted previously, over time I realized that I enjoyed the Pathos sound more even though I think I wanted to prefer the Krell. Then I u... | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point Based on my recent experience, I believe that the Maverick TubeMagic D2 DAC with the op amps upgraded with Sparkos dual discrete op amps results in a DAC that performs well above its $500ish price point. I think the DAC can be had for about $200 ... | |
| Schiit Modi Multibit vs. Maverick TubeMagic D2 The Sparkos Labs op amp upgrade had pretty stellar sonic results. I'd highly recommend these op amps.The combination of the tube rolling in my Pathos amplifier and the op amp upgrade in my DAC my system has improved more than I could have hoped f... | |
| Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations After playing with the Schiit Modi Multibit DAC I have decided to send it back. I don't have anything negative to say about it, but discovered that it sounds indistinguishable from the tube output on my Maverick TubeMagic D2 DAC so it simply does... | |
| Schiit Modi Multibit vs. Maverick TubeMagic D2 The new Mullard tubes in my Pathos amplifier are a clear upgrade in sound quality, but because it's such a new upgrade it's more challenging to evaluate the Schiit DAC because my "muscle" memory is still in the past.However, after a bit more liste... | |
| Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations My Modi Multi Bit is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I ordered it on July 21 and it's now September 26, so 8ish weeks isn't bad considering the 12-16 weeks that was listed on the website. | |
| Tube Rolling in my Pathos @tomcy6 - I don't know for sure. I purchased them from a fellow Pathos owner that likes in the UK. He said the EC88 Mullards are UK Blackburn's. He measured them and here are the numbers:Tube #1: 15.0/19.0 and 13.7/16.5Tube #2: 15.0/17.5 and 13... | |
| Cables that measure the same but (seem?) to sound different @artemus_5 What I find interesting in your post, if I am understanding you correctly, is that you acknowledge that things that measure the same would sound the same to a calibrated robot, but not to humans because we are not calibrated. It seems ... | |
| Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations I'm still waiting for the Schiit DAC to arrive. The website currently lists 6-8 weeks for it which is better than the 12-16 weeks listed when I made the purchase. I was happy when the timeframe was reduced as that's at least an indication that t... | |
| Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations I finally made a decision and am patiently waiting for a Schiit Modi Multibit DAC. |
