| Do Audiogon members like DIY cable projects? I had just the opposite results as Wireless200. My DIY ultra thin ribbonspeaker cables (nudibranch) smoked the Cardas Golden Reference. | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Every tube has it's own sound signature. Even so, I have them in my DAC, and that is what I hear. So, I guess I am a fan of tubes, as long as they are little ones in my DAC. | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? I think habitual critics of other peoples systems they haven't heard should at least have the balls to bare their own system for review, or questions. | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? The thing about a full symphony is that it is emotionally and intellectually demanding. I don't want to be in that state all day. I always start the music with some exquisite ambient music I got from a pro. Then comes voice, or small ensemble. If ... | |
| Apogeee/Bryston Advice needed Well, as you probably know, I am not a fan of solid state, especially for a supremely articulating ribbon speaker. What is your source? | |
| Apogeee/Bryston Advice needed For the Slant, I have never heard better sound than powered by a fine push pull tube amp. Ella Fitzgerald was standing right there in front of me. It was kind of a Princess Lea's image, where the princess sends a holograph message to the good guys... | |

That is some 98% of cables regardless of their price.No. 2 has proved it's sound to be ... | |
| Seeking suggestions for Preamp The Fire by Henry Ho. | |
| Cable Confusion 2chnlben, My goodness, your request went unanswered by me. If this thread was not pointed to by a different, but similar query, I would have never seen your post. Frankly, on most systems, cable difference can be hardly discernible. That is, unles... | |
| Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps I wish we all lived close. We could all learn a lot. | |
| Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps Hi Peter, I just know what made the big changes here. I have demonstrated the noisiness of all jacketed cables on the H2O. There are folks in Europe who have gone so far as to use ribbons for speaker interiors. I arrived at the ribbon SCs through ... | |
| Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps That is a very thoughtful, and plain facts review, Alan. The mute feature of the Fire is to help avoid the powering up of the preamp after the amps. Henry can make the Fire without a remote control. I like the near infinite volume adjustment, and ... |
