| Please recommend a budget tube dac I'm in the process of breaking in a Music Hall DAC 25.2 and can't stop listening to it. It flat out slays my old Consonance CD 120 Linear. For a 'budget' DAC, you can't go wrong. My system is quite revealing and I can't hear the defects that other... | |
| Suggestions for DAC isolation? I've only heard of one manufacturer who openly stated that one channel of their DAC will hum and that it couldn't be heard once music was played. That was Valab.Now that they have the power transformer in a separate case, their is no noise at any ... | |
| DVD as transport I can't speak to the accuracy of this but I was told that the Oppo 983H that I have uses a CD drive that a couple of DAC makers use to voice their DACs with.It's drawer mechanism is very quiet compared to my Consonance CDP and responds very quickl... | |
| Which inexpensive ic's cables worth checking out? Supra EFF-1s. Proof that no one has bettered what Bell Labs did all those many years ago. | |
| Consonance / Opera Audio CD120 with tubes?? Help Check to see if it is the 2.2 Linear with the tube output. I don't believe that a CD120 Linear with tube output was ever made. | |
| Affordable SS Integrated for Merlin TSMs If you love the sound of the Dussun, try to get by the looks of it. Nothing else will sound like it, let alone better, unless you luck out. | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you I'd pony up another $17,000 for the Tonian Labs TL-M1 MKII. If not, I'd settle for the TL-D1s. You could pocket $17,500 andbe quite satisfied. There are some models in between that wouldfloat your boat.They are that good. | |
| Review: Tonian Labs TL-D1 Speaker Great review of a great speaker. I, too, have the Tonian TL-D1 and couldn't have said it better. A $10,000 giant killer for $2500 about sums it up. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Tonian Labs TL-Ml MKII.The most natural sounding speaker I've ever heard. | |
| CD Player Under $1.5k With Vinyl Sound I second Stephennic's take on the CD-120 Linear. Anything with no upsampling/oversampling and just 16 bit with no opmaps or digital filters do wonders in approaching that vinyl sound your after. A stepup would be the Consonance Orfeo, from their F... | |
| Tonian TL-D1 verse Zu Druid Mk4 Can't say I've heard the Druid Mk4 but I did get a chance, a few years back, to hear what Zu had then, and try as I good, I couldn't get my ears around them.Someone else here, after going to the same show, stated that it was like listening to musi... | |
| Speaker cabinet construction.. It goes 'round and 'round and it all boils down to how to market a speaker?Trust your ears, what Bell Labs discovered many decades ago, and take all the white papers out there and line your birdcages with them.Again, trust your ears and not what s... | |
| Tonian Labs TL-D1 Tholt: I don't know if there is a demo policy but just call to see. As for the words, they are quite delicious, indeed. I have them for breakfast every day and can't get enough. Just kidding. I know the process when the honeymoon is over (we've al... | |
| Tonian Labs TL-D1 I'm using a Red Wine Audio 30.2 integrated. Its a wonderful match.I got them from Tony Minasian through Acoustic Image in Studio City, Ca.Elliot Midwood is the proprietor of the shop and both are the best to deal with. 818-762-1501 is the number f... | |
