| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I do like combo of silver and copper throughout system, about 50/50 at present. As system has progressed over the years increasing amount of silver added. My 300B monoblocks use vast majority silver wire, including output transformers. I've found... | |
| Have you ever solved a high end audio issue using non-audio technology? Or, visa versa? @waytoomuchstuff Would this little British sports car just happen to be an MG? I have 70 MGB-GT, can relate. I also have much higher power car and motorcycle, and MG still feels faster on road, going slow and feeling fast so much fun. | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) @robones54 Agree with you on Sirius radio sound quality. However, streaming sound quality extremely variable depending on source and streaming equipment. I've had high end cd transports in past, my present streaming setup exceeds any cd playback I... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC 005 extreme resolving powers, transparency certainly maximally expose this immediacy factor. Improved micro dynamics were also heard immediately upon 005 insertion into system, great transformer, internal silver wiring and lots of storage capacity... | |
| 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... |
