| Sonus faber Cremona M with Prima Luna DiaLogue One I should also mention that I do not own Sonus Faber Cremona speakers, but I have listened to this combo at my brother's house. My Dialogue One, his Cremona. Excellent match. Mid-range and above superb. Bass very good and sure a big SS would give y... | |
| Sonus faber Cremona M with Prima Luna DiaLogue One You should listen to Kevin at Upscale, he is a straight-shooter, does not mislead folks, is truly an expert on Primaluna as well as Sonus Faber. In addition he is one of the best tube gurus around. I did buy my Primaluna Dialogue 1 from him. I hav... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC I also used a Mullard long plate, but preferred the Black Treasure Shuguang. | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Thanks for the good info Gopher, that was helpful. | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Thanks Dpatterson,What was it about the Metrum sound that you liked in particular? Was it warm, did it have body, was timbre correct, was it musical? | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Thanks, yes looking forward to those Metrum shaking loose. I don't think the Hex will be a good bang for buck, so I think I'll stay in EE Plus or Octave class, would rather spend my money elsewhere. And...loan, not lone above. | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Sibelius, I believe everyone who states that EE Plus sounds better with the Discrete Op Amps upgraded; but I haven't heard from many members who have heard both DAC and can offer a comparison. In fact, I think only one Metrum owner that also owned... | |
| Character of EL-84 amps I believe Dennis Had, formally of Cary, is rebuilding old EL 84s such as Pilot and Magnavox and selling them on EBay. They look great and reviews seem extremely positive. Ever since I got my RM10 many years ago from JohnnyR I've Ben smitten by the... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC I mistakenly thought Morningstar was located in GA, my bad. Still no meaningful comparison to Metrum. If none, I believe I will buy a Metrum and conduct a shoot out and purchase the upgraded new EE if it wins, since it doesn't appear that any one ... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Hi Morningstaraudio,Your 2Cents is highly valued. So, the Dexa Discrete Op amp is the ticket to a more analogue sound, more warmth, more body to the sound? How much in the older volume control unit? Also, I'm in southern GA about 40 minutes north ... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Thanks for the responses, frankly, I thought I'd get at least several more folks here who have direct comparison. Mr. Tennis, I am tube biased as well, pun intended, and have swapped out a number of 12au7s since I purchased the unit. These include... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help Great discussion, I am really enjoying. I always wanted a Jadis Orchestra to try out, but I already have four tube amps, maybe down the line a bit... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review Yeah, there is just something wrong here, doesn't sound like your typical Primaluna integrated at all. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review Mechans, the Cary V12 does normally come stock with EL 34 tubes, but I ordered mine with KT66s. I also have EL 34 tubes for it. I like the KT66 better, but best in the V12 to my ears is the same Russian NOS 6n3ce I generally use in my Primaluna Di... | |
| Tekton Lore ...... compare with Vandy 1C Adam18, given your last statement just stick with the Vandy's...if you're loving the 1C, maybe you think about moving up to the 2ce; they are wonderful speakers. And if you are in the NJ area let JohnnyR help you get the most out of them. |
