| Tube Buffer I owned a Rogue RP-5 tube preamp and it is a great preamp. The phono section is very versatile and TAS also LOVED the RP-5 which they tested a couple of years ago. Unless you run all balanced, I see no reason to get the RP-7. I had great results c... | |
| Canare 4S11 With 31 hours on the cables, the sound hasn't really changed since after the first two hours. So far, I am smitten with these cables. | |
| How best to sell my dad's McIntosh integrated amp, CD player speakers? Yup, original boxes and packing is a necessity. If not, the glass on the McIntosh equipment will not survive shipping. | |
| SME 3009 II Unimporved -- "Thin" Sound You have an excellent phono stage in the Modulus 3A, no need to buy another one. You should be using 6h23neb tubes in that preamp, anything else is a compromise. I owned a Modulus 3A for years and always found the phono stage very musical. It i... | |
| Mac MC152 vs Conrad-Johnson MF2275 The MC152 has more than enough power plus it is high current. The MC302 gave me a slightly larger soundstage, that is pretty much it. | |
| Mac MC152 vs Conrad-Johnson MF2275 I had a Conrad Johnson MF2550 amp connected to a Rogue RP-5 tube preamp. I found the sound to be very slow, thick and syrupy. I am driving Golden Ear Triton Reference speakers. I then went to the McIntosh MC152 at 100wpc less and the sound was ... | |
| Canare 4S11 I received the speaker cables early this afternoon. I must say, the fit and finish of the custom built cables are off the charts. It is as good as any of the high end companies that charge megabucks for their cables. I hooked them up and let th... | |
| My first power conditioner... @bgpoppab...…………………………...Shunyata does have great service. I called once asking about a power cord I purchased used and Caelin answered all my questions. I use all Shunyata power cords as well except for my SACD player which I use an Acrolink ca... | |
| Canare 4S11 My present speaker cables are a bit too warm and I didn't want a cable that is too highly detailed. I hope like Goldilocks says, they are just right. | |
| Levinson 5805 @techno_dude...…………………….I understood you were being sarcastic. I was agreeing with you! | |
| My first power conditioner... @bgpoppab..............................good choice on the Shunyata. I use 3 Shunyata Hydras (discontinued) over 2 systems and my systems are dead quiet with great dynamics. All Shunyata conditioners are NON current limiting. | |
| Levinson 5805 @techno_dude......................I have had a few audio snobs from here over to listen to my McIntosh system. They changed their tune once they heard my systems. All three of them said they had never heard McIntosh before hearing mine yet they ... | |
| Something is missing @maplegrovemusic ....................I have always used the DSD ups ampler on the Sony. I’m listening to it as I write this. I use all Shunyata power cords on every piece of equipment I have. It has always satisfied me. It is one of their cheaper ... | |
| Something is missing There is nothing wrong with the internal dac in the Sony HAP-Z1ES. I own two of them, 1 for each system. I get jaw dropping sound from it in my main system and in my other system. It was rated A+ by Stereophile and it got some kind of award in TAS... | |
| Has anyone seen this...? @infection .....................check out Michael Fremers listening room then. |
