Anyone heard new Zu Union 6?
I'm very interested in what you'll have to say. I'm looking for new speakers in the high-efficiency range, and both Zu and Omega seem to be top notch. It seems Zu may do bass and the "party" side a bit better than Omega (in general), tho I could b... 
Vfet / SIT Amplifiers
Oh, yeah, hey rottalpha! Small world. :) I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted by the C-1, but my Pioneer Exclusive C3 is just so gorgeous that it would be hard to let go. Plus, all the work I've put into recapping and cleaning... :0 I've not ... 
Vfet / SIT Amplifiers
So I built the DEFiSIT-based amp with a pair of my Tokin SITs. Holy..... It may be only 20-30WPC, but the bass is astounding. It's hard to describe, but the music is simply more immersive than any other amp I've tried.  
Get your First Watt SIT-3 now?
Well, not as simple as the vintage being better. Depends on system synergy. To be honest, I think the second post in this thread hit the nail on the head. I think the SemiSouth SiC SITs just aren't as ideal (tho, not bad either) when compared to ... 
Accuphase E-480 convert voltage from 100v to 110-120v

The Less is More variant supposedly improves on the treble issues which were present in the previous iterations of the Yggy. I had the A1/GS, and I also noticed these issues.I loved everything else about it tho. Sounds like the LiM may not have qu... 
Two new Schiit Yggdrasil's released yesterday!
Sounds like the Less Is More is much more musical and "analog" to those who have heard it.I had the A1 model and would agree that it could be a bit unforgiving in the highs. It was the only thing I could really fault it for.. supposedly the A2 was... 
Why audio streamers are so much more expensive than video streamers?
I think most people would be more than satisfied with a Raspberry Pi 4 and Pi2AES as a streamer. I've had 0 issues with mine. It looks like the same group is working on launching a more consumer friendly version that makes setup even easier. 
Technics SL1210GAE + Accuphase E-480 (AD-50) + ??? (cartridge)
OP, what did you end up going with?I have an E-480 and am wondering how the AD-50 compares with external phono preamps. I intend to go with the Technics 1200G, and possibly the ART9XI.I couldn't really hear a large enough difference between the DA... 
Accuphase E-480
I can confirm that the above jumper configuration results in the orange & yellow taps @ 120V, thanks @imhififan One thing I was a little bit surprised by was that some of the rails to the power amp board were raised by a few volts (like 65VDC ...
