| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC i have changed tubes and heard differences, my favorite is the brimar 12au7. i have yet to remove the tube. i suppose that i should do that. however, i suspect the level of resolution will not be what i am looking for. | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC tubegrover, you make an excellenet point about modern tube gear.but hypothetically, if you could create the sound of the 60's, as you yhave apltly described, using certain tubes placed in a tube dac, would you concede that no solid state dac could... | |

| Why CD players will never be dead hi chad:i like a classic tube sound. the audio industry is not designing products which have that sonic signature. in fact designers are trying to get rid of as much coloration as possible.i have heard many set amps, that have the modern tube soun... | |

| Ideal Setup? fischer receiver is a good choice with an older thorens table and grado 8 mr cartridge, if you can find it. as to speakers, given your budget, i would hesitate to recommend anything, unless you are willing to give up a lot of bass. | |
| Why CD players will never be dead hi chas:believe it or not using some form of a computer as a transport--lap top or desk top, is most inconvenient.i can use the ps audio pperfect wave transport , or listen to my favorite cd player, which may exhibit coloroations i like and can be... | |
| Why CD players will never be dead i am not disputing the (alleged) benefits of servers or computers as transports.all i am saying is that when the issue is two products competing with each other there will always be some eho prefer one or the other. | |
| Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig there have been many suggestions as to what not to do when buying components. i have been thinking about the essence of the theme--namely avoiding mistakes.i've come to the conclusion that one cannot avoid making mistakes. to err is to be human.so... | |
