| Back to the DAC Oh brother. You're just a superior human being in every way. | |
| Back to the DAC First, they were not uber expensive. "However, I do not regret my decision to pass on those tubes.": You don't know what you don't know. You can only make that statement by trying them out. | |
| Back to the DAC @tvad Yes, well, I don't know specifically what you tried, but for me and others that I've talked to (Owners) the EMM Rec tube was a significant improvement as were the Black Treasures,. Better than the BTs, are dual C3g's (German) for each cha... | |
| Back to the DAC Very sorry to hear. The Batic 4 truly is the sweet spot of the line up. And using Emission Labs Rectifier with a couple of other options for the driver tubes is just wonderful, So fluid and dynamic and resolving. Greg Weaver's vid on the Baltic 3 ... | |

| Picking a Tube integrated amp Also pure class A is the Line Magnetic 518ia Integrated Vacuum Tube Amplifier .... 845 output tubes .... 22 wpc into 8 but your Vivid speakers with an 89 dB sensitivity should be fine ... and your speakers are closer to the 4 ohm load in the lowe... | |
| Disappointment with Pro-Ject... Just one question: Is your table/cartridge near a dimmer switch? If it is, then your cart is picking up the mag field of the dimmer when it is on. Either replace the dimmer switch with a standard on/off or move the switch elsewhere. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I took the Class D plunge just a month ago for my home-office system as alternative to the Triode TRV-A300SE Integrated. I purchased the "Waring" Integrated from FLEAWATT (25 wpc into 4), the owner, Derek makes them himself. This little guy (the a... | |

| Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to: In short; Yes.
