| Consonance Linear 120 or good used cdp? I beg to differ if I may. This is an extraordinary player. I love mine just plays what is on the disc it's that simple. | |
| Best "RedBook" player out there Buy A Consonance Linear 120 save yourself $2,000. It is simply superb no upsampling no elaborate electronic fooling with the data. Just a pure great sounding CDP you hear the tones and timbres that were recorded made to use with 16/44 but reads ot... | |
| Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget Ditto on the on the Audio Aero Prima a very smooth sounding yet detailed player. You can also buy the Audio Aero DAC. Another choice which is more revealing but superbly built in your price range is a bit more difficult to find. The Granite Audio ... | |
| Signal Cable Analog 2 I use the Signal cables as well, but can't tell you how they compare to Monster . The last time I remember using Monster was when they first came out. Since then ...the rest is history. The question would be like asking about a well known respecte... | |
| Neil Young at Massey Hall Simply superb a joy to hear, but I am not moved to tears. | |
| Does tube rolling with regard to CDP mean... Yes but recorded sound is not live. Therefore you roll tubes to find the sound you think sounds live. The equipment manufacturer may have used a tube that you think sounds live in which case no need. In general Ihave found that I get the most plea... | |
| Cary SLP98 Tube Question The best dealer I have used in acquiring 90+ 6SN7s sells right here on Audiogon. I am not sure he ran an ad this week but he is "whoopdedooda". His real name is Len he runs an ad monthly on Audio Asylum under Len he is an expert 6SN7 dealer exclus... | |
| Question concerning db sensitivity First the obvious. Sound quality is completely subjective.As I read it I think this generalization is probably from a source that thinks bass response is correlated with high quality. The SET single driver audio system may be nirvana, the truth, p... | |
| Cary SLP98 Tube Question A good tube preamp will not tame brightness at all.Sibilence as was already mentioned is a different issue, but again sibilance is not remedied by use of tubes. In fact modern tube gear is as bright or brighter than many solid state pieces. The no... | |
| A musical subwoofer I am having a sub built for bass augmentation and extension, of Merlin TSMs. The sub has to avoid "bone crushing" bass, which we termed sound effects style subwoofers. It must be a relatively quick driver with attack and decay that is in the music... | |
| Jolida 202a Tube Rolling Question 12ax7 12at7 You must extirpate the EH 12AX7s. They are the culprit. The tube with the most midrange warmth and bloom is likely to be a long plate Blackburn Mullard ECC83. Any British tube would be better, The Brimar CV4004 is still widely available. The Russi... | |
| Your Favorite Top 10 tuners all time I am surprised that someone else has an appreciation for the Sherwood 300. I have the mono and stereo versions. I might add that I also have the Sansui TU 717 and a digital Nikko. For the guy who doesn't believe people listen to so many "radios". ... | |
| Stupid question..... NOnot never like that don't. | |
| Consonance Calaf versus Dk Design Vs.1 MkII or III My experience was very similar comparing the two, tube input, integrateds. I would add a strong emphasis on the class A claims. The Calaf claims 40wpc in class A for the first 40 watts of about 200 . I can tell you those class A watts sound like r... | |
| Amp or amps to power a pr of Kappa 9's & Kappa 8's What is your budget? What are you using now. I own Aragon Palladium 1k monoblocs. They may represent most high endish real watts per dollar in a big amp. I personally have subjected them to 4 ohm loads with 90db/W/M speakers. They never ran out of... |
