| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Serial # MS50097, purchased 11/20. Based on my understanding of measurement crowd, its not that they don't listen, rather its best to rely on measurements vs listening. While some of them may admit to limits of measurements, still beats human ... | |
| A first My experiences typical of all the above, very few appreciate anything about it. People will often say something like "that's really clear", on to talking about other things having nothing to do with audio. Closest analogy for myself. I've ofte... | |
| Decware SE84UFO Zen vs First Watt SIT3 The LIne Magnetic should be very nice, was one of the 300B's at top of my list prior to purchasing my custom built 300'B's. SETs can do current, 845, even 300B with top flight power supply can deliver. Besides, the Klipsch doesn't require a to... | |
| High Efficiency Options? 845SET amps open one up for less efficient speakers, expect lots of heat though. I had Omegas matched to 2a3 SET monoblocks in bedroom system some years ago, magic mids, but these not full range speakers. Merlin VSM may fit your needs, cou... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The issue with not listening is it appears as if one has an agenda, especially since this dac has received a fair amount of positive reviews. Since all these positive reviews based on subjective listening, not listening fails to even acknowledge w... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I agree the issues ASR measurements uncovered are problematic, plenty of dacs out there, many far less expensive superior measuring. Which brings into question; how impactful are these measurements to ultimate sound quality? With so many findi... | |
| Decware SE84UFO Zen vs First Watt SIT3 Very nice explanation of impressions. I've considered some of the lower powered amps such as your Zen, and 2a3 or 45 SET's for my Khorns, thought I may encounter some of the same issues you have. Not sure anything less than 300B power is sufficien... | |
| Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma? May be inevitable at some point in system building. Certainly experienced this on my journey to finding what I was always looking for. One great advantage newer audiophiles have over us oldies is digital has improved so much over the years. My... | |
| Is an isolation transformer better than a power conditioner? For years I had hum, incoming voltage running between 123-126v in those years. Since repairs, 119-120v 24/7, no perceptible hum ever. Over voltages and dc offset usual causes of transformer hum. Mounting them properly very important as well. | |
| Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains. CPAC in Hungary, this is model for us. So sad. | |
| Best progressive rock album side Not sure I can give best of, but Egg, Man, Rare Bird all have some tasty sides. | |

| Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! Ethernet could only be considered if one has dac with internal steamer. Ive seen reviews where external streamer with usb beat ethernet in on streaming dac. This would be case where external streamer superior to internal streamer and dac has very ... | |
| Is an isolation transformer better than a power conditioner? I auditioned a number of PC some years ago, PS Audio regen, Shunyata Hydra, Audience Adept Response, can't recall others. Prefer my BPT 3.5 Signature with mods for all front end equipment, no PC for amps. I recall hearing the balanced transformer ... | |
| Most Realistic Recordings For sure Patricia Barber, "Companion". Also, Blue Coast DSD recordings. |
