| Tube DAC Recommendations Ddelisle911:I have been away on vacation for nearly 2 weeks, so nothing new to report currently. I will let you know in future. | |
| Tube DAC Recommendations Glad I was able to help. I will post back as requested, and I hope that you are able to favorably post back after your unit has broken in. | |
| Tube DAC Recommendations Ddelisle911:Yes, the Romulus absolutely fulfills my expectations. Full, rich, warm, pleasing with plenty of natural-sounding detail. The sound invites the listener to keep listening. Just guessing here, but I would think the only folks who may not... | |
| Tube DAC Recommendations Ddelisle911First, the Romulus has a recommended break-in of 400 hours, but after the 50-hour mark (of playing), mine opened up and started to shine. First, the sound is rich and full (a bit more so than my analog). I would not say it is 'phat', bu... | |
| Tube DAC Recommendations Ddelisle911:I do not have any other sources running through the Romulus, although it is possible. I have heard computer-sourced audio running through 2 different Romulus units, and it sounded very nice both times, enough for me to purchase my unit... | |
| Tube DAC Recommendations I doubt you will find a 'consensus' here, either. I have a new Aesthetix Romulus CDP, which is quite impressive. The DAC-only version is the Pandora. Mine is still breaking in fully, but the sonics are very nice. Superb tonality of instruments, ex... | |
| Phono Preamp as Control Center Curriemt11:I bet that Bill Baker of Purity Audio Design could design and build you one that would do anything you want. 607-768-0067. He is a heck of a nice guy and a terrific designer/builder. I can't say enough good things about his product, his... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Dawgzdad:I have enjoyed my Saturn for 5 years without any failures. In the early days, listener reports stated that better sonics could be obtained by turning off the display. So, I turned the display off and found myself sometimes jumping the gun... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Dover:What's your address? I want to send you a cigar! | |
| Unusual TAS bomb Dodgealum:Yep, I remember. I was a senior in high school when I bought my first TAS subscription, starting with the double issue 21/22, quite a big deal back then. I kept up the scrip for maybe 10 years before abandoning. The trend had already sta... | |
| Rethinking my system: Your ideas are appreciated Alderash:I found myself in a similar situation a couple of years ago, after moving my system into a newly-expanded Great Room (30'x30'x12'). I made the correct decision for my situation by upsizing my speakers to Tyler Woodmeres. What I noticed wa... | |
| Turntable recommendation A used SOTA vacuum table would fit the bill nicely. | |
| Programmable remotes I have used the Osiris product with good results over 5 years. | |
| How many still listen to CD's daily. I listen every weekend, mostly all weekend, beginning Friday evenings. Squeezebox is regular background music when distracted; CDs are played every day; Vinyl is the real treat and is also played every day. I can't explain why, but I always feel b... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Well, I am hoping that my CODA 15.0 lasts me the rest of my life. I don't feel as if it is lacking in any area. I am exceedingly pleased with it and have no plans of looking further. |
