| Ipod Dock with direct out????? The stock Onkyo ND S1 has superior sound to the Wadia iDock and can be had at half the price on ebay from Japan with a universal power supply that works perfect in the USA. Or you can do as I did and purchase a laboratory grade Lambda regulated li... | |
| A good ipod dock for an ipod classic. I know three people who owned the Wadia ipod dock and sold it when they bought the Onky ND-S1. It is available from Japan on ebay with a universal power supply that works fine with US current for around $200 delivered. Also, I had the new Cambridg... | |
| Wadia 170i Ipod Dock Vs Onkyo ND S1 Ipod Dock Forgot to mention, a Monarchy DIP will improve the sound of the Onkyo ND S1 iDock even more, which is already stock far superior sounding than the Wadia or Cambridge idock offerings. As mentioned, The Onkyo ND S1 can be purchased from a seller on ... | |
| Wadia 170i Ipod Dock Vs Onkyo ND S1 Ipod Dock Although it sounds a little better than the squeezebox Duet, I just sold my Onkyo ND S1 because I wanted access to my computer which offers more music than what was on my iPod.I had Steve Sank, of Talking Dog Transducer Company in Tucson (30 years... | |
| Cayin A88T - My Favorite Amp Out of Numerous - FYI A nice tube in the pre section which a nice alternative to the RCA 6SN7/VT231 is the Sylvania 6SN7GTA.By the way, I reluctantly recently sold my Cayin A88T for an Almarro 318B. The Cayin is much more dynamic and powerful, however, I purchsed some ... | |
| Zu Omens Vs Dali Vs Vandersteen Vs Sonus Faber I recently listened to my Zu Druids alongside Zu Omen speakers which weren't broken in yet, and found that the tonal shift in direction of the sound was such that the Omens were a little more in the direction of being slightly clearer and more air... | |
| Sound of Zu Soul Superfly vs Zu Druid Speakers I had opportunity to listen to my Zu Druids alongside some Zu Omen Speakers that had not been broken in yet. At this premature comparison, I found the Omens to have a presentation that is in a slightly clearer and slightly less euphonic direction ... | |
| Inherent Difference - 12AU7 and a 12AT7 The 12AT7 has more gain and will sound louder. Great if you want to beef up output from a DAC or preamp that normally uses 12AU7 tubes. Because the current draw of a 12AT7 is similar to the 12AU7, in most applications a 12AT7 it can be substituted... | |
| Former Cary 308T owners - what next? I have talked to several Audiophile friends who say that the Cary 308T is one of the best sounding CD players ever made. One of those players where the stars somehow lined up just right and a 'lucky' accident of incredable fidelity occured. You mi... | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? To digress a little, I am using an Almarro 318B with Zu Druids and the amplifier is wonderful. However, the sound from the Almarro is heavily dependent on the pre tubes. I settled with a Mullard brown base CV569 (6SL7) and a Sylvania 6SN7GTA for w... | |
| Zu Omens Vs Dali Vs Vandersteen Vs Sonus Faber I found that the Zu Omens in comparison to my Spendor speakers sounded a tad richer yet still very immediate and present. Front row center with a strong tube glow if you will. Everyone who chose the Omens has tube amplification if that gives you a... | |
| Speaker cables for Zu Omens?? Want to save a ton of money and hear great clear warm sound that will surpass most speaker wire? Try magnet wire. Currently you can get a 50 foot role of 12 guage 200C enameled coated OFC high quality copper magnet wire (also known as Speltz anti-... | |
| Sound of Zu Soul Superfly vs Zu Druid Speakers Can't speak for the Superfly which should only be better, but two of my friends bought the Zu Omens on my recommendation, and one happily replaced her Dali floorstanders with Zu Omens, and another replaced his Vandersteens with the Zu Omens. He to... | |
| Audio Note 2.1.x DAC vs Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2 Another BTW, it is a shame that Wyred doesn't make a DAC with a heavy duty power supply and tubed output stage. Now that might really turn heads! Untill then, by my ears, the Wyred 4 sound DAC is still in the shadows sonically to the Audio Note 2.... | |
| Audio Note 2.1.x DAC vs Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2 BTW, the Audio Note has a hell of a heavy duty power supply! |
