| Digital Cable (again). Journey has been cancelled. The search is over. Cory Greenberg's Stereophile Magazine recommendation works after you decipher what it really is and burn it for a few hundred hours. You want more PM me. | |
| “Black background” — What really contributes to this phenomenon? Audioquest Niagara system with appropriately matched power cords did it here. Another step you can take is use sheet copper to maintain a barrier between analogue and digital components. In my case I use copper sheeting under my pre-amp and FM tun... | |
| Digital Cable (again). @antigrunge .... $1075 for the cable + another $1500 for the digital cable’s power supply... to try a cable raved by an unknown writer in a magazine no one has heard of in 2008. I think I’ll order up two to try right away. Really, I don’t spend th... | |
| Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Research-LS2-mkII-Classic-Tube-Hybrid-Preamplifier/174557950276?epid=... add 1975 6N23P SSW Reflectors (easy to find on eBay, look for those sold by Svetlana in Ukraine) and it will blow away most anything under $10K... | |
| Best upgrade for cd player? An external DAC can add much, as can power cords on both. I added a Benchmark DAC 3b to a Sony XA 5400 ES and am very happy with the results. Audioquest cords for both. | |
| 6922 Tubes for Raysonic CD128 Try some 6N23P SSW from Russia or Ukraine. 1975 Reflectors are the sweet spot. Best bass I've every heard in a 6922 6DJ8 type tube and I've rolled many, many.. | |
| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet That’s all well founded lewm.... and I am making measurements with my reliable instrument, my ears..... which is what it is all about isn’t it? I had the wife listen to the S&H’s and some SSW 1975 Reflectors I have a small stock of and we agre... | |
| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet That's for sharing that lewm... is that really true, my tubes are aging when I use them? when the heaters run? Since "in many cases" why don't you find me some inexpensive tubes that outperform Siemens & Halske Cca 6922 grey plates circa 19... | |
| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet @vegasears I hear you but you can only demo so many allegedly "better" pre-amps and amplifiers at very significant cost levels, and watch dealers leave with the tail between the proverbial legs before you decide maybe expensive NOS tubes are a pre... | |
| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet @lewm..... you have a point. My ears have told me when it is time to change for the last three decades.@pindac .. there was a time when NOS meant New Old Stock, not that the tube still reads close to new. I'm talking perfect old lettering... | |
| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet A bell just went off Elliott.... we had numerous discussions on the dpreview website if I recall properly. | |
| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet Elliott... you have a good point about the tube tester. There used to be one at a repair shop in Miami but he closed many years ago and I have not been able to find anyone with one. I use 6DJ8/6922 tubes. About 15 or so years ago I rolled everythi... | |
| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet @jjss49 ,,, r u thinking your English language punctuation and usage of upper and lower case characters is correct? Perhaps you should use spell check and re-read what you are posting. | |
| Digital Cable... anyone compare Canare lv 77S to michaelklein.... I bought the Silver Sonic and compared it to the Canare I cited. In my system, and results may vary based on systems, it was a bit smoother but the stage was smaller, much further away.. as though the performance was outside my ... | |
