| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? Should have mentioned the Takman CF replaced generic metal oxides. | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? Don't know about the AN Niobium but the Takman carbon film should give you what you're looking for. Recently put some in signal path of my Coincident Statement pre, looking for that exact fuller musical presentation you're looking for, they did th... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming Good to see more of these comparisons. In future we need to see comparisons of optimized ethernet vs optimized optical setups in same audio system, not sure I've seen that. At this point, many iterations of ethernet devices, with optical Sonor... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Can't help with the 6sn7, but Linlai Elite 101D solid plates are best 101d out there. Good to hear there may be new 6sn7 to challenge NOS. At some point NOS tubes will cease to exist, we'll need new quality tubes to carry on. | |
| The problem with streaming If you can't enjoy streaming sound quality for serious listening sessions something wrong with streaming setup, or have serious case of audiophilia in that you can only enjoy the very best recordings (say hot stampers) played on the best tt with t... | |
| Procol Harum’s Gary Brooker, Singer and Co-Writer of ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale,’ Dies at 76 I saw them back in the day, recall them being true musicians, I could see the classical training in their playing. They had far more great material than just Whiter Shad of Pale, many good memories tied to their music. RIP | |
| Has your system evolved in the past 10 years? Only preference for SET amps and high efficiency speakers has remained over the long term. Not much remains of my system from 10 years ago, some IC's, power conditioner, dedicated listening room and AC lines. Sometimes I wish I could time travel, ... | |
| Why don't upgrade the wires and components inside our units? No doubt modding is steep learning curve. One has to limit change to one variable at a time, experience and/or research into particular parts sound qualities critical. Listen, determine what you don't like about present sound, change out what ... | |
| Best speaker crossover caps for deep, tight, detailed and tactfull bass? Film caps in that value will be both huge and very expensive! For electrolytics grannyring's advice for AN Kaisei good. I also recently used the newly released AN Seiryu in recent pre upgrade, very nice electrolytic. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone I understand your reluctance to remove components from pc. Have you tried removing amp from the Equi-core and run straight into wall? I've found over many years and many amps I much prefer all amps straight into wall vs BPT. But then I run... | |
| Why don't upgrade the wires and components inside our units? I've rewired every single inch of internal wiring on Klipschorns, also spec'd silver litz and diy modded in some Duelund internal wiring on my custom build 300B monoblocks. My 845 SET and pre have no wiring to replace. Obviously, I've determin... | |
| Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale... PL is relatively high volume sales, percentages of sells to buys would give much more accurate picture. I had Dialogue Four with many diy mods, sold because I prefer my much more expensive SET amps. Still listen to this amp in nephew's system, ver... | |
| RMI/EFI remedy from Acoustic Revive Optical conversion has become my preferred isolation solution. You are correct, I have Trifield Meter, all digital components and power supply transformers give off relatively high levels of EMI/RFI, always good to eliminate as much as possible. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone @melm I doubt its the balanced operation of Equi-Core as I use BPT 3.5 Signature balanced transformer based pc with my 005. I suspect you may be overloading Equi-core, likely quite a bit of inrush current when going from standby to on wit... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @turcoda It's much more than superior usb board in 005 that makes it a wonderful dac. Every aspect of 005 is well thought out, reason why it's been so positively reviewed. With 005 you won't be moving on to another dac for a long time, you can bui... |
