| Is the Esoteric P03/D03 still relevant? I've owned several Esoteric players, great drive mechanisms but the sound to my ears was just to sterile YMMV. | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level So yet another rectifier tried with very nice results. Maybe someone can tell me what tube it is from this description. On the glass itself it has:U5 2 with and arrow above these numbers and the letter Z next to the up arrow.Then there's a dark ye... | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level The CV378 has the KB/DA designation on the tube and if you looked up Mullard CV378 they are identical. Although they do not say Mullard on the tube. Have not tried the GZ34 which again is a CV378 but have tried a CV575, NOS 5U4 and some 5R4 tubes ... | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level WOW! I replaced the 5U8C that came with my BIG 6 (274b) with a CV378 KB/DA rectifier tube and just unbelievable how the sound has transformed! Fuller, more detail, deeper soundstage, speakers disappear even more now and the slam that was missing i... | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level Lukasz just confirmed I can use a 5U4, GZ34, 5R4, CV378 or CV575 in place of the 274b tube. I have many different rectifiers and have always liked the CV378 that was used in my Kondo amp. Will give several of these a listen to over the next severa... | |
| Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level So just received my BIG 6 with DSD capability (but I truly plan on listening to it for it's redbook feature.)It has a 274b rectifier but looking to replace the stock tube with something special. Any recommendations? A Sophia Electric? Have to be c... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I ordered the Big 6 with 6SN7 tubes and in my Atmasphere Novacron amps that use 4 x 6SN7 tubes per side, in each location I find different brands sound better with the back two positions making the biggest sonic difference. So listening to 5 or 6 ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Tube rolling is fun but can take many hours of trial and error and there are so many tubes out there and just because one brand works for you in a particular component doesn't mean it will be the perfect tube in another component. My amps use 16 t... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I find tube rolling can make or break the sound of a component but also find power cords more important than interconnects and or speaker cable. (and more important than tube rolling but both are essential) I just ordered a week ago a Lampi Big 6 ... | |
| Cost effective Schumann Resonator WOW...WOW...WOW. I just tried the new Acoustic Revive RR-888 Schumann generator and what an improvement in my sound! Cleaner, more spacious, more control and wider sound stage! After 4 hrs of listening I even felt more relaxed. Brought it over to ... | |
| High efficiency speakers Charles1dad,Sonically no complaints just a wonderful sound, quick and transparent but when I had an issue (and no fault of Ocellia) what a hassle. In hindsight though couldn't be happier with my Acoustic Zen Cresendo speakers. Music has never had ... | |
| High efficiency speakers Edoir I had the Ocellia Calliope .30 Twin speakers, great sound awful customer support! PHY driver is a wonder cabinet is a DYI project at best. (IMHO) | |

| Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...? I owned the Bardo and the only way it performs when it was on a Vibraplane (Dealer disclaimer) otherwise it was not engaging at all. When I sold the Bardo the customer also placed it on a Vibraplane and is very happy. The reason I sold the table w... | |
