| Newbie Needs Assistance @soix You gotta be kidding, advising purchase of Raven amp, especially at this time! | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b Another issue when going to boutique film caps is space to fit. If one has pcb may be impossible, even with point to point may have space issues. Major reason I'm looking at VH Audio ODAM for future mods where space at premium. These look like the... | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. Blame and recrimination, culture wars, politicizing everything=USA Executing plan for global economic hegemony=China America living in era of culture of complaint, getting nothing done is intention of many gvt. officials, millions of peopl... | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus Well, you've tried a lot of tubes, so I'd go back to trying different cartridge. I'd bet the correct cartridge will solve most if not all your issues. | |
| FEDEX keeps destroying my New CARY 805RS Monoblocks - What can I do to prevent Nightmare? There is no fail safe method of shipping audio equipment. I see UPS and Fedex on daily basis at work, various freight carriers as well. Fedex ground most rushed, next Fedex Express and UPS, least freight company drivers. If being rushed correlates... | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus @gte357s What output tubes using in 211 and 300b. I was using Shuguang Black Treasure in my 300b amps until recent change to Psvane Acme, much more color with the Acme, Shuguangs bleached out in comparison. My 845 has also benefited with better o... | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. With parts sources located all over earth, and quite often unknown labor sources perhaps its time to be honest and state, "Made in multiple countries." What qualifies a product as being made in any particular country? There is no standardized... | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus Charles and I both totally agree on CSLS, it is keeper and will never be the cause of some unwanted coloration. Just real honest sound quality, a reference component, if you need spice and flavor, add elsewhere. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @fl_guy 005 not forgiving, yet is NOT UNFORGIVING. This is kind of hard thing to wrap one's head around. Sometimes we think of equipment that is not forgiving as having to be unforgiving. 005 is rare beast in that it toes a very delicate line bet... | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus Seems to me Coincident not your issue in the least. You like your digital, analog your problem. While I've not heard Alnic, presume it on warmer, lower resolving side. BTW I have Modwright swp 9.0se, the ph9 is updated swp with separate power... | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus Sorry I missed the part about built in phono pre. Forget about it, you've got a supreme linestage, you'll be going backwards! | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus I have Statement upgraded to MkII and optional Amtrans rotary selector. I don't know if you have MkII upgrade but the better quality volume transformers, NIchicon FG and muse caps add a bit more musical tone, Amtrans gives more precise imaging, s... | |
| Digital Gear & Upgrade Question, What do I need? A nice relatively easy upgrade would be Roon Nucleus with Roon subscription into your present dac, pretty much plug and play. Sound quality improvement with this easy peasy setup would be substantial. Get a linear power supply for Nucleus, anoth... | |
| Recommended USB Cables. Assuming one's system has sufficient resolution, you will hear differences in usb cables. I've tried Supra, Wireworld, Cardas, Audioquest Diamond is present cable, superior to others I've tried, don't feel the need to change. | |
| Primaluna? PL is very nice. Good build quality, I've been in the innards doing my own mods to bring older model up to newest specs. Point to point wiring (exception of auto bias board), nice lay out, nice solder work, nice parts quality, really don't know ho... |
