| Agon Members at CES I'll be there too. If you also are an inmate at Audio Asylum, you'd be aware of some of the regular CES happenings. Hope to meet some of you in Lost Wages!Regards, | |
| DarTZeel NHB-108 Is this the best amp ever? Be that as it may, this is one of the finest solid state amplifiers ever built. Both in sound and construction quality. The only others in it's league or better are Pass, Musical Fidelity, Threshold and Krell."The only others" - that's quite a lim... | |
| Can anybody define LOW OUTPUT...? If that phono stage is really designed for the Linn Troika then it should be presenting a load of 560 Ohms and has maybe 70 dB of gain. You are right that this is more gain than many moving coils need, but it's hard to guess without knowing the co... | |
| Cable suggestion for CJ preamp. Help please . Lower capacitance in interconnects is always desirable, and most decent cables that are not coaxial have reasonably low capacitance. Achieving really low capacitance is a challenge however. Some special constructions do aim for very low capacitanc... | |
| tube amp sound more engaging I have problems when posters say "most people xxx". You can't really know that - it cheapens your argument. It's just as easy to say "many people xxx" or "some people xxx".Regards, | |
| tube amp sound more engaging How about current vintage SETs with efficient, modern, very accurate, hi-tech loudspeakers?Regards, | |
| tube manufacturing Both the points you mentioned. It's also possible that some material is not available today. The revitalised WE 300B production made mention in their ads that they still had some thoriated tungsten cathode material left from their previous product... | |

| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Guidocorona writes:Springbock10, yours is the $64B question. Moded units are not balanced, except for one APL3910 version which has XLR active outputs. Not a classic balanced design with duplicate circuitry, though: the 'balance' signal is created... | |
| DV-50s vs Krell SACD Standard vs Denon 3910 mod Kana813,Apologies to you. Now that I see your closing in complete form, it's obvious to me whatMele Kalikimaka & Hauoli Makahiki Houmeans. I stupidly thought in a previous post of yours (a different thread, perhaps) that when you wrote "Mele K... | |
| Discs you play again and again Rodney Crowell-Fates Right HandI bought "Houston Kid" because of a review in Stereophile, and it never quite took off for me. But I thought enough of Rodney Crowell to buy "Fate's Right Hand", and I love it. What a fantastic album. Stereophile sho... | |
| best threads out there? I'm very casual and fond of hi-tech fabrics, like Polartec and GoreTex. I like active wear (but can't stand cargo pants). I prefer to buy from places like REI and North Face; and Timberland for shoes that happened to be made in China. I live in Le... | |
| DV-50s vs Krell SACD Standard vs Denon 3910 mod Avguru,Modesty is a better approach. Mele Kalikimaka caught you by surprise; you over-reacted just a little. Regards, |
