PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread
It's been about a month now, that I started listening to the Psvanes. I don't want to make it sound like they are x or y or z. But the fact is that they have not diminished my listening experience. And I am happy that I can choose to listen to my ... 
SACD Players
OP, Have you thought of picking a used Sony/Pioneer bluray players from eBay and using that to extract DSF/DFF files from your SACD and then using an external DAC to play them? The initial outlay for the bluray player should be between $30-$100 d... 
Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120
@ullogu1 You are not a disappointing person at all. But your words "dark" probably means something different than what I might have thought. This thread asks for speakers for a "dark amplifier". Does it mean that the designer did not want a neutr... 
Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120
+100 @soix  Looks like the Gryphon 120 owners seems to look for bandaid instead. And the following statement confirms this: Without that complimentary speaker in place, it’s as if the treble energy got turned down by a hidden soundboard master ... 
Windows Sound Basics - ASIO WASAPI etc
I like to use ASIO drivers when possible. And you can build your own FANLESS audio server with the components YOU choose. I have a separate system build in my system page, to share my experience with forum members. And I love the way the system m... 
Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120
ProAc K1 should sound very good in that room.  
Upgrade speakers or DAC
I have listened to the SF speakers you have. Pretty good loudspeakers. But I would bet the jump from Cambridge to dCS would show you what your speakers are capable off. That can keep you satisfied for a year or two. Save and then jump to a much mo... 
T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501
@jasbirnandra , which DAC did you get?  
Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing
@kdoerner  Congratulation on the new set of cables! I find it funny about people who think that cables and power conditioners don't make a difference. People who say, how does the last 3 or 4 or 5 feet matter. These folks need to understand why ... 
Power amplifier longevity… thoughts?
@audiofilo123 , Obviously Atmasphere has his own Class D amps as his reference. They are very favorable reviewed. Unfortunately they are a bit bit more costly than your stated budget. If you are looking for older amplifiers then the Parasound Ha... 
IsoAcoustics Gaia feet with carpet disks
+1 @fastfreight Bass tightening is one more aspect, along with sound stage and imaging, as mentioned, wit the carpet disks.  
Rays Tubes
with PSVane Horizon’s in my Backert Labs preamp. I am very pleased with the results. @markmuse +1. My Mazdas sound a bit more fuller. But someone can attribute that as "warm" compared to the Psvane Horizons, which have a tighter bass.  
Shazam as an audio tool
Agreed. I have been doing that for some years now. Here is my playlist from AXPONA 2017, that I created using Shazam and SoundHound. The only thing I wish I had done better was to also include the "boring demo" songs that I did not include in thi... 
PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread
I will say that I am impressed with the Horizon series 12AU7. I was NOT expecting them to sound this good. I purchased this set to save my NOS Mazdas. The Mazdas are amazing, but these are so good that I don't care about doing a comparison. I am ...

@alightronics,  I have placed an order for the Horizon 12AU7. Will be eager to find out how they sound.
