| Rubidium Clock ysound - I'll second your recommendation of the RedNet. I also have a D16 and love it. Zephyr - the Cybershaft is going into an Antelope Liveclock which is then feeding the above mentioned RedNet D16 and a Mutec MC-3+ USB reclocker. I've been very... | |
| Rubidium Clock Thanks for your posting on the Cybershaft zephyr24069. Nice to know your experience continues to be positive. I have a Premium OCXO in route. | |
| Comparing EE MiniMax and the Meridian Director? Have not heard the Meridian. Have the Minimix Dac Plus. What I like about the Minimax is the ability to change the sound by swapping out Opamps. I am a firm believer in having this flexibility. Stock unit was nice. In my system the Dexa discrete O... | |
| "Last" system puzzle piece - Tube amp option I'd suggest checking out the Shindo GM70's. They will match well with your Shindo Preamp. The GM70 is an overlooked SET tube - especially for those looking for a little more power than the traditional SET. | |
| MHDT Havana and Eastern Electric Minimax One of the benefits of the EE Dac plus is the ability to swap out opamps which allows you flexibility to tailor the sound in your system. The stock EE Dac plus is very detailed and resolving. This seems to be the common trait of Sabre Dacs. Howeve... | |
| Which Burson or Dexa did you get? Thanks for the article. It mirrors my experience with the Burson and Dexas. Between Opamp and tube swapping the DAC + is an incredibly versatile product that allows one to tailor the sound to taste. | |
| Would the NAD M51 be an upgrade to EE Dac plus Are you using a stock EE DAC plus? If so, you may want to spend about $300 on some discrete opamps (Dexa or Burson) and some NOS tubes (Mullard, Amperex, etc..). To my ears these "mods" dramatically improved the sound for a rather modest investmen... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please I have not gone through all the posts but just want to state the somewhat obvious. If you are going to spend the kind of money you listed for a preamp, you absolutely need to demo the gear in your system to understand the synergy (or lack there of... | |
| CD Transport for Rega DAC? I like the PS Audio PWT but it certainly is not cheap. | |
| Beatles Reissues on VINYL Finally I bought a copy of Revolver yesterday and am pretty dissapointed. Sounds somewhat flat and lifeless to me. For those of us with older versions I really don't see this newer set being the "go to" version. | |
| Metrum Octave First Impressions Kzhtoo:I had the Metrum and a ESS DAC (Modified Eastern Electric DAC +) in parallel for a while and your impressions mirrored mine. The Metrum was smooth and very musical. The Sabre based DAC had more detail and resolution - especially at the top ... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Devilboy:Overall I listened to the Metrum Octave for about 16-17 hours over 6 separate sessions. The sonic character of the Octave was extremely consistant over all my listening sessions. The musical differences between the Metrum (NOS) and modded... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Morgan:Enjoy the Metrum. It's on its way. Have not heard of Sonic Imagery. Would be interested in hearing them sometime. In addition to the Dexas I also have Burson discrete opamps that have a completely different sonic signature. Where the Dexas ... | |
| Another survey - Best bargain you ever got My first audiophile speaker was a pair of Magnepan SMGa's from around 1985 for $495. I had those speakers for about ten years through the last years of college, my first job and my move from Chicago to Northern California. A very nice entry level ... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Devilboy: Thank you. It's taken me a lot of time and experimenting to get to the point where I recognize my musical biases and feel like I've matched my equipment reasonably well. I would never claim that HE speaker/low power amp camp is the most ... |
