| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? https://youtu.be/0u7d5RlN3Ow The game is not over yet. I am moving back and forth between Lansche and Scaena today since I am free all day today. Scaena ribbon need to be driven by tube amp while Lansche plasma tweeter seems to work well cla... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? https://youtu.be/sJmnom97mPE Lansche 4.1 is one of the best speaker for female vocal. Its treble is one of the best maybe better than diamond tweeters. Thomas | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? https://youtu.be/CMEsv8YeUV4 I had been using Lansche 4.1 from 2006 to 2021 until I got Altec A7. After attending several Audio shows, I am back to Lansche but with different configuration. Using JL Audio Cr1 active crossover, Lansche 4.1 is... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes @tksteingraber 6F8g tubes tend to sound fuller than regular 6sn7. Thus it may depend on your system and taste which one to choose. Thomas | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes @tksteingraber I agree with you that vintage tubes are like vintage wines. There is no best one but they have different flavor. I recommend you to get 6f8g tubes from Ebay. Tungsol got overpriced, but you may get RCA, Sylvania, Natio... | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k You may try out Pecan pi+ which sounds comparable with Dave and Mscaler if not better. It sounds very detailed and but not overetched. Thomas | |
| Affordable SS that sound like Tubes https://www.stereophile.com/content/schiit-audio-aegir-power-amplifier I have this amp for reserve. Overall it is a very nice value. Thomas | |
| seeking advise please on my short list for new speakers? (15k budget) Altec A7 If you can try bi amping with active crossover, it will be even better. Thomas | |
| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/orchard-audio-pecanpi-streamer-dac-preamp-headphone-amp-tour.1175470/page-4 You can try out Pecanpi+ by being in tour. I found it very nice for the money. It match closely to Dave and Mscaler. ... | |
| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION I have Dave (modified with three Farad Lps) and Mscaler. But after trying out Starkrimson Pecanpi + which cost 900$, I ended up buying it. I do not mean Pecanpi+ bumped out Dava and Mscaler. But the former sounds slightly fuller than l... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k I attende Pacific Audiofest yesterday. The most impressive is big Genesis which costt 250k$. Triangular horn speaker and Songer field coil speakers are also impressive but beyond your budget. Borrensen spekers sound most balanced with no ... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 I had listened to Senheiser HD 800s headphone using Starkrimson Pecanpi+. HD 800s is not easy headphone to drive due to high impedance. But I could enjoy Jennifer Warnes "Rock me gently" which give plenty of bass. After warming it up more than... | |
| Should I steer clear of class D amps @jeffseight What is your room number and time of demonstarion during Saturday? I could be there. Thomas | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui I enjoyed Holo Dac at Pacific Audiofest last year. It is a pretty good Dac with clarity. https://youtu.be/Y2Eg7bBEHpg But best value will be Starkrimson Pecanpi+ which cost 900$. It sounds close to Dave (modified with three Farad L... | |
| Looking for an Amp Replacement If you use the amp for second system and casual listeing. I recommend Starkrimson monoblocks with opttional Gan supply. Although I am tube guy, I enjoy its clarity and no heat during summer. https://youtu.be/HDyGKOrOm8M Thomas |
