| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey mm1tt77, Yes, I believe that the Coda 07x preamp with the LTA Aero DAC would be one beautiful combo! The 07x is one of my favorite SS preamplifiers and teaming it with the Aero would render a terrific musical presentation. Teajay | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey mitch2, Of all the 6SN7s I have in my collection the TungSol black glass/round plates have always been my favorites for three reasons: 1) The air and spatiality they create is really very remarkable. 2) The beauty of timbres/colors is very pr... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey jetter, Yes, the Pass Labs DAC-1 is about that old. Mine was re-capped by Pass Labs and is in pristine condition. The only reason that Pass Labs stopped manufacturing the DAC-1 was the unavailability of the great Burr-Brown PCM-(K)63 chips. ... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey phill55, It's been awhile since I reviewed the Audio Mirror Tubadour DAC, which is a wonderful musical sounding DAC. My hunch would be that the LTA Aero will be more dynamic and resolving with more pristine tonality, but not losing the sense ... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey whoopycat, Great question! You might find it shocking that the Pass Labs DAC-1 performance is quite close to the present day reference level DACs. I hate using percentage statements, but I would say the DAC-1 gives you close to 85% of the sta... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Thanks guys, For your positive and supportive comments regarding both my motivation and professional reviews. I'm always trying to share my excitement about great pieces that offer great performance for reasonable prices that are built by people ... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey audphile1, I have nothing but respect for Bricasti gear, have reviewed two of their DACs and one of their amplifiers. Great build quality and first rate sound performance. Do I believe the LTA Aero DAC out preforms Bricasti's best DACs? No, ... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey mm1tt77, Compared to your PS Audio DS MK2 the LTA Aero will have a richer tonality and the individual images will be more 3D "meat on the bones" presentation. I find the PS Audio Direct Stream to sound like very good digital, but not as relax... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey gentlemen, My review on Stereo Times just went up on the LTA Aero DAC tonight. Hope you enjoy reading it and it gives a lot more details regarding why I wanted to share my excitement about this DAC's performance. Teajay | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey mitch2, Yes, I have heard the Mojo Audio DACs and they are quite my cup of sonic tea. I believe the LTA Aero is more similar then different from your DACs. However, I believe because of the massive power supply/ZOTL tube based analog section... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey tksteingraber, Your Lab12 DAC is an excellent performer. It does not become null and void because something performs at a higher level. The LTA Aero, in my opinion, significantly/qualitative is on a higher level of performance across the boar... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey cleeds, I would not refer to my excitement about this DAC as a "hard sell". I have been a Audiogon member for years and professional reviewer for fifteen years. I try to share information on products I review that I believe offer outstanding ... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey danager, That's a great question. The LTA Aero is a qualitative shift to a much higher level of dynamics, clarity, 3D imaging, much more pristine timbres/colors, and bass extension then the MHDT DAC. LTA used import/sell the MHDT Orchid DAC ... | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? Hey 0zzy62, In the next couple of weeks I will be getting in for review Qualio IQ SE for Stereo Times. I'll let you now what I think when I have some time to evaluate them. Teajay (Terry London) | |
| Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker Just received a phone call from Jeff, who had discussed the System 2 speakers with me after reading my review. He purchased a pair and they have surpassed his highest expectations. He was running a pair of much more expensive speakers that he beli... |
