| 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... | |
| Digital power cord for tube amp? Well some pc like my Shunyata Python VX contain FeSi for noise reduction. Just for kicks some years ago tried on preamp, not good. I assume all digital pc would have added shielding, may result in overly damped, darkened, veiled sound quality when... | |
| Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money? Thanks @david_ten for posting this question. I presume network clocks solely affect sound stage, imaging, perhaps resolution. Some presume my issues with the added clock in audiophile switch is due to inferior quality of said switch. So, if the c... | |
| Fuses Yep, the Duelund .01uf on crossover caps is a wonderful thing, I use the silver foil on Jupiter VT. I use same as bypass on my custom built 300B amps power supply to good effect. I've never bypassed coupling cap, never felt the need to experiment ... | |
| Post a Promotion & help a Fellow Audiophile-Here are 3 I know of I've been looking specifically for phono cartridge, so watching for sales more closely than usual. Seems this Black Friday promotions not up to prior years, very few store wide discounts, only limited products. The only high end audio store wide p... | |
| SET the best? @mozartfan Well, I did use LSD back in the day, quite likely Owsley's creation, also did shrooms more frequently. Exclusive use of SET's these days, both 845 and 300B, I do still listen to psychedelic music periodically, add flashbacks, that make... | |
| Jantzen Wax Coil or Mundorf M-Coil CFC Timely posts for me! I purchased both Jantzen Litz wire wax and Jantzen solid wire inductors some time ago as final mods for my Klipschorn crossovers. Can't recall exactly why I purchased both solid wire and litz wax wire, seems I remember somethi... |
