| *DAC Though I haven't heard the X, a friend purchased an "A", so I have heard that one. It is more detailed than the "R", but in a somewhat of a "dry" presentation. It gets all the notes, but with somewhat less "tonality"(?), and less "soundstage". YMM... | |
| *DAC It’s funny, different systems, different results..... I bought an R26 simply for streaming, because (I thought), my sample rate converter (Mutec 6) had died. I’ve owned quite a few DAC’s, Yggy, Holo KTE3, AMR 777SE, and more. I have recently been... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab I would upgrade the quality of components. It's tricky business though. The esr/dcr values of the upgraded components can throw the "balance" out of whack, so that needs to be accounted for. The 208 uses small guage, high dcr coils, and iirc, at ... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab Since you mentioned crossover upgrades, I'll throw in my 2 cents. I have owned 2 pair of F208's, the first pair were new, but were returned after auditioning. They did some things well, but I didn't feel they had the right price/performance ratio.... | |
| What component to upgrade next? what tube preamps would mate well with the Revel F208s and A21? Unfortunately, I believe the A21 has a 33k input impedance. Most tube pre’s would have a rolled off low end driving that impedance. You would need to look closely at the coupling cap... | |
| Comparison between Belles 350A Ref and Modwright 150SE While I haven’t heard the Modwright, I did own a 350a Ref. I felt the Belles, while very powerful, had a somewhat clouded midrange, and laid back top end. Then one day, playing at a moderate volume, the 350a turned itself into an arc welder.....f... | |
| The Music Room I purchased a CJ S/S amp from them, it turned out that it wasn't a good fit for my system at that time. I inquired about trade in value, they emailed back, "why would we buy it back? If you don't like it, and aren't going to use it, send it back ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? "Rock out man! Montrose next?" Uh huh.....but which Montrose? ;-) Montrose? Ronnie Montrose?? or Gamma.???.... But then again, you really can’t go wrong....well, maybe Gamma IV (I really don’t care for IV, not even sure if it’s available on vinyl)... | |
| When is your Hifi good enough? When it's a quarter to 11:00pm, you're listening, thinking..."just one more" and you know you have to be up at 5:00am. If this becomes a regular occurrence, I'd say you're there.😊 |
