| Anyone aware of the problems with the Linn Unidisk The DV-50- so far is just- Incredible. I never heard redbook sound so good. | |
| Analog Selection Dilemma: Aries V. Scout A decenting opinion on your VPI selection. I would choose a fully TNT dressed HW-19 mk4. There is no need for a better table- especially if you tweak it out. All IMO of course. | |
| EMM Labs DAC6 Last week it was Meitner, this week it's Emmlabs. This is getting very Old quite fast. | |
| Which SS amps sound like a tube amp? None. There is no such thing IMO. | |
| Q. about ARC LS5; & running an all balanced system LS5mk2- all tube/ss power supplyLS5mk3- hybrid tube/ ss power supplyTwo different animals. | |
| Who out there knows about Audio Research Pre's??? I went from LS-25mk1 to LS-25mk2- back to LS-25mk1. Have you tried some Amperex 6dj8's and Siemens 6922's. The 6H23 are better than the Sovtek 6922's but they are still far removed from the 1960's European tubes. But I'd still choose the 6H23 over... | |
| Who out there knows about Audio Research Pre's??? The LS-25mk1 with the right combination of NOS tubes will easily outperform a stock LS5 mK1,2,3, Ref1, LS-15,16,22 and 25mk2, not to mention the Ref2mk2. Beware the 6h30 tube. I would highly advise that you never ever under any circumstances - pur... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct I have had good results using hybrid pre-amp into a solid state amp. I have heard ss pre's into tube amps and to my ears I could hear analytical signature of ss pre. The amplifier IME will pass along what is upstream weather it is tube or ss. So I... | |
| A to D to SACD to A: A Natural Progression? Perhaps you should purchase a better cd player that is more involving than your Sony. | |
| classe/great customer service I no longer own any of their equiptment and never will again. Sent 3 pieces in for minor repais over the past 5 years and not one was repaired correctly. Not having the time to go into specifics- you"ll just have to take my word as substantiation.... | |
| classe/great customer service Classe Audio may give "great customer service", but IME they no longer know how to repair their own equiptment. | |
| Pass Labs Xono - Any users out there? Why don't you call Pass Labs directly. I did as I was also seriously considering the "closeout" deal. The information I post was told to me by Pass Labs themselves- albeit after about a 10 minute conversation. The warmer tone may only be audible o... | |
| Pass Labs Xono - Any users out there? Beware the x-ono with the smaller black power supply. This is the supply for the original Ono. This product being offered on close out as hybrid cosmetics and the same electronics as the x-ono is not true at all. The real x-ono has a full size pow... | |
| Questions about a new Ruby 2 cartridge My sonic experience with the Ruby2. I own one for three years and previously owned L-04, Ruby and Glider. 1) Dynamics2) Inner Detail (sometimes to a fault)3) Open airy delicate highs 4) Powerful, melodic bass5) Ambience 6) Warm emotional midrange7... | |
| Any Bat VK-31SE owners out there...? Where does a VK-30 with NOS tubes fit in with this comparison. From my experience, I will not purchase a tube pre that uses only 1 type of tube. VK-30 allows tube rolling. May be able to acieve top end air with NOS and 6pak oil caps. Just a though... |
