| Finally after 7 years of search... Full Range: Voxativ. I heard Cube Audio Nenuphar on the end of my source, pre, SET, and SC's at a dealer, and was unmoved relative to the horns (Loth X Troubadour) I have enjoyed for more than ten years. | |
| Finally after 7 years of search... Full Range: Voxativ. superelmar -- good to read your findings. +1 for KEF subwoofer, if not KC92 mentioned above, for larger spaces, I found KC62 perfect match for my full range single driver horns in a smaller room. Enjoy | |
| Good small/single outlet power conditioner for preamp. @jriggy I had the same issue when introducing one of my valve FM tuners to my system. A different tuner works perfectly. I trialled the 156 and it didn't work in my system, altering piano sound too greatly. I have since enjoyed a UK built "AC-2K... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @lalitk +1 for Woodsong renovation work (I have a TD124). VG results (for TD124) with "Governor" PSU made by Deco Audio in UK for rational cost: lower noise floor, greater impact. I have VG results after milling -- using pillar drill-- a solid... | |
| Passive preamps - differences between technologies I gave up after ten years use a wonderful sounding dual mono valve preamp in favour of the complete quiet and transparency of detail of an Audion Select TVC line level pre amplifier (copper transformer windings w/ silver internal hook up wires) —s... | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. Correct presentation ? Presentation of music that touches your spirit ? Of course, this would be worked out in individual systems of particular design, physical materials used, and component synergy -- inside eqpt. as well as unit to unit-- as sug... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy - fwiw, I heard the least cost CEC in my system and it made involving sweet music but not quite enough air, space and detail for me to keep. The more expensive models would probably be worth a listen. | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing +1 TEAC recommendation. I believe either Sparkler Audio or 47 Labs use TEAC drives in their machines. After reading good reports (here) I use a small form factor TEAC PD H600. It was compared to an Ayon valve player by other users —which I had own... | |
| Dac that has tone and timing? @schw06. Re: Abbas DACS, Just saw this on Hifi Haven website, dated 10 Aug 2022, echoing my findings: “Both myself, the two local friends who also purchased a 2.4SE and now the new owner all agree that Abbas DACs are transformative. Hard to explai... | |
| Dac that has tone and timing? @schw06 If tube MHDT DACS are on on your radar, you might also look into a classically trained musician-made DAC that is fast, alive and richly musical: Abbas DAC 2.4SE, or his other variants using different chips. After Meridian, Chord Quest, a... | |
| Original Quads (57) - the perfect amp OP, with such programme material, you might enjoy addition of air, separation, and greater front to back spatial rendering, trying Max Townshend's Supertweeters. Designed specifically for ESL57's. Listening to the kind of music you note, even, a... | |
| Does streaming music equate to high concert ticket prices Amen to smaller venues for serious music making of all genres driving the atmosphere. For classical music —-plenty of rock ‘n roll in French enlightenment music, Handel, Beethoven and more !— visit London for BBC summer promenade concerts at the ... | |
| First Watt J2 & speaker pairing ? To the OP, "looking for better sound stage & imaging , dynamic with reasonable accuracy", and following your other notes, I can vouch for the J2 giving fully what you seek, in my case, using transparent 104dB single driver horns. The J2 gave s... | |
| Tube DACs As pointed out already, there’s not much random in your counselling others, and experimenting, to find a combination that allows you to hear deep into your music. I echo the finding of Ayon eqpt. noted in post above. If you have a tube transport ... | |
| Looking for a good small subwoofer... KEF KC62 - recommended by a composer - studio producer friend to enhance the impact and bass weight of my full range single driver horn loudspeakers: one unit does precisely that. 10" cube, potent, works great. |
