| pacific valve&electric Some here say their Doge pre amp is among the best they've heard.I have the Classic 6.1 SS integrated and like it very much. I've spoken to them a few times and they are pleasant to deal with.Give them a call. | |
| music hall dac25.2-rca or xlr? Haven't tried the balanced out since I can't use them but the RCAs out with the tube sounds great. I know this doesn't answer your question but from what I'm getting out of mine, you should have no qualms just using the tube outputs. The tube out ... | |
| music hall 25.2 DAC mod It's great to hear positives about this DAC. I've had mine for about 2 months now and couldn't be happier. Tried swapping out the tube for a Matshshita and though the bass firmed up a bit, the top end lost air and life and never opened up. After w... | |
| What gives? CD’s, Solid State? You just might want to try a tube DAC. I'm breaking in a Music Hall DC 25.2 and it blows my Consonance CD-120 Linear into the weeds. I leave in on the lowest,'locked' setting as the 96 and 192 settings seem a bit etched or too finely honed for my ... | |
| 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... |
