| Best XLR IC's for around $300/pair? Try making your own using Furutech FA-220 wire and CF carbon filter terminations. You may be surprised. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Tom, thanks for your kind offer but I will pass. I have tried a zillion tubes here including some of the top-rated Russians. None even come close to the E188CC. You should try a pair if you can. | |
| Taralabs cables Melbguy1,Audiolabyrinth did not state that he has ss gear. He stated he wanted my opinion on ss gear and I gave it.I have clearly stated why I want to chat privately about this. What could possibly be the problem with using this service provided b... | |
| Taralabs cables Tboooe,I should point out that this is the sound of the system -- not the sound of the rhodium. I can say that the rhodium makes the sound much more natural and pleasing to the ears than the gold. Of course, this is system dependent. | |
| Taralabs cables Audiolabyrinth,Rhodium can also work well for ss equipment. Of course, this is system dependent. I will be glad to reply to your PM. | |
| Taralabs cables Melbguy1,Rhodium has never made for a more forward sound in my system. | |
| Taralabs cables Melbguy1,When you stated "Everyone's system is different, so ultimately you'd have to make the call on what is right for you", you hit the nail on the head. Nobody can make rules for your system, especially if it includes anything at all unconvent... | |
| Taralabs cables Audiolabyrinth,Beyond my tube amp and preamp -- simply listing components will not do much to describe how my system sounds, and why it sounds as it does, because I used a daisy-chained front end and I run cables in series. These are kinds of thin... | |
| Taralabs cables Melbguy1,Sorry but I beg to differ. You can "go wrong" with either in my system. There is in fact a "drastic difference" between them in my system. Gold was a step down, not a step up in my system. Audiolabyrinth,The rhodium is not forward soundin... | |
| Taralabs cables Audiolabyrinth,Thank you for your welcome. I took the GTX-D rhodium from a component. It was already burned in with at least 100 hours on it. The rhodium is now installed in the wall feeding the whole system. The sound is open, warm and clear as a... | |
| Taralabs cables Misternice and Audiolabyrinth,I use a Furutech GTX-D rhodium from the wall to my system. There is not a hint of brightness. On the contrary, it eliminates the brightness of other receptacles. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Has anyone tried Siemens E188CC in positions 2 and 4? | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Hgeifman,You state "I suppose I should forget about the technical stuff in the DirectStream DAC and just judge the DirectStream by how it sounds."And then you state "I am still very happy with my Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC and see no reason to think about ... | |
| Suggestions? Tubed linestage pre-amp?? Audio Horizons TP 2.3 gets my vote of confidence. | |
| Is DSD download already an extinct format? Jult52,You might want to ask the experts on the PS Audio forum this very question. |
