| SET the best? There can be tradeoffs with SET. With 845 I can run speakers as low as 90db sensitivity, gives me lots of choices. With my extreme modded Klipschorns, 845 and 300B give different but both entirely satisfying presentations. Previously ran 2a3, limi... | |
| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? For sure ambient noise levels lower for many, typically in mid 40's db during day, can get down to mid 20's late at night. The dark also adds to sense of realism, I have black out shades over all windows, also helps to block out external ambient n... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/does-a-ripped-cd-onto-a-digital-format-sound-better-than-the-cd-played This previous discussion about rips vs. transport. I believe it has a lot to do with quality of transport, the less jitter induced h... | |
| What is PRaT Boa2 hears it as I do, often heard it as allied to transient attack vs. decay. The warmer the system the more decay increased, this may be perceived as slower. I also believe timing issue can be easily heard with certain digital. Jitter is exa... | |
| Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money? I believe I mentioned this in prior post on another thread. I think we can all agree optimal network performance requires galvanic isolation, proper timing, maximum jitter reduction, shielding from emi/rfi. With so many choices of equipment to ad... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC One could use rca out, I believe balanced/XLR superior. RCA or SPDIF in not 005 optimized in, usb superior, still possible to use the rca. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC My last great cd transport was Mark Levinson #37, when it died never found equal trans., motivated me to try streaming. Never looked back, cd rips were better than cd's over my last transport. Having said that, look at the new ProJect CD Box RS2 i... | |
| SET the best? larry is correct in that output/power tubes critical for SET. The difference between Shuguang Black Treasure and Psvane Acme 300B is like night and day. Shuguang like $250 pair, Psvane $900-$1k pair. The Elrog, WE, Linlai Elite, EML, Takatsuki wil... | |
| Jantzen Wax Coil or Mundorf M-Coil CFC Seems many reviewers like litz for tweeters and mids. One takehttp://alkeng.com/ | |
| Post a Promotion & help a Fellow Audiophile-Here are 3 I know of I only figured it out because he started another thread that said what he's trying to say here more concisely. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I'm experiencing my own burn in issues with two Psvane Acme 300B in amps,and two Linlai Elite 101D tubes in Coincident Statement pre. Big boost in resolving powers with Acme vs former Shuguang 300B. This is as much a test of 005 as amp and pr... | |
| Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money? @lalitk I don't know if you're referring to me when you keep on mentioning mac mini server. Yes, I use a server in mac mini clothing, but its bespoke in execution. Internal power supply out, Uptone MMK DC internal pc, Uptone JS-2 LPS, upgraded RA... | |

| SET the best? Try adding DHT preamp, my Coincident Statement MkII uses 10D tube, have Psvane WE, Linlai Elite mesh and solid plates to choose from. My 300B monoblocks aren't soft at either freq. extremes, each has power supply equal to what you generally see in... | |
| looking to upgrade - identify the weakest link? Dac weakest link, then server. I have extreme modded Klipschorns I run with 300B SET monoblocks and 845SET. They aren't really that intrusive sitting in room corners, in stock form look almost like furniture. You have basis of nice system with... |
