| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Charles, One other term I'd add for CSLS and DHT, SET amps in general. From the first moment I heard an SET amp IMMEDIATE was the one word that came to mind, and one I'd not used prior. DHT have unique sensation of transporting performers to you ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Charles, I agree the exact words don't matter much, after this much time in audio, vast majority know what is meant. As for CSLS, I wouldn't change a thing. My question is do these terms convey a color? Likely I see more requests for something... | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) Returning to present streaming business model, and my statement "nothing inherently wrong with it". Streaming business model could be many things, supply and demand are but one imposition on it, another important component would be artists lev... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i In order of importance to sound quality I'd rate 805 first, rectifier, than 300B. The Cossor is produced by Psvane, wouldn't expect much change from stock Psvane, Mullard NOS rectifier is one nice tube, use them in my custom 300B's, much greater r... | |
| Capacitor @agisthos I wouldn't change cap coupled to direct coupled, designed that way for reason, although equipment feeding amp may have variable dc offset which could alleviate need for cap coupling. Audience auricap is only mediocre cap, much bette... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC With posters or reviewers I'm familiar with I generally understand the meaning of words used in describing sound qualities. I generally find organic and natural to be interchangeable, however, I do have issue with organic in that it can only be ri... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton Totally agree on preamp front, I'd still use separate pre if I owned Briscati. Analog volume function on B would only be of value if one was lacking good quality pre. @lordmelton @charles1dad I generally stay away from the word org... | |
| Has anyone bought the Psvane Acme 300B Vacuum Tube? I decided to purchase the Acme's for my custom build 300B monoblocks some time ago after doing extensive research on all the top line 300B tubes, really became a crap shoot as all the nice 300B's have their proponents. My take is they're all nice ... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @guakus Got it. Par for the course with cable threads, reason I mentioned finding them rather worthless. I have no problem with anything you've said. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jjss49 Hope I understand correctly volume control is analog based with Briscati, reason I mentioned possible replacement of preamp, of course, only for single source, that being streaming with Briscati. @dbb 005 certainly has advantage in tha... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @guakus Wow, I'm shaming and belittling, I think not. Nothing i stated in post was an objective pronouncement on worthlessness of commercial cables! I simply stated my own experience with cables and my present view. Also, when I speak of diy I... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton Really not comparing $11k to $3k here. Briscati or any other streaming dac may have better price/performance ratio than perceived at first glance. For instance, I have around $6k in streaming exclusive components, brings my actual cos... | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp @oddiofyl I took similar path in procuring my 300B monoblocks, custom build is nice way to go. Especially like to choose build off menu of options, looks like you made some good choices, like that amp. | |
| Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable @mike_in_nc I find it difficult to assign a reason for sound signature with ethernet cables as well. In any case, can't say I've heard one. I can understand the cat 8 being inferior as it transfer noise via ground plane. On the other hand, cable i... | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) @jbhiller Barriers to entry much less today than ever, I agree may be more difficult to find the cream only due to much larger catalog to choose from. On the other hand, easier than ever to find the cream with streaming, one can sample great numbe... |
