| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Hey lordcloud,Could you describe in more detail what you mean by, "doesn't sound like a tube at all". There are sonic differences between the same type of tube and different companies "house sound" (Mullards, Bugle Boys, Telefunkins, TungSol etc)... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Just wanted to share an amazing experience with the LAB 12 DAC concerning rolling tubes.The type of tube the Lab 12 DAC normally uses is a 6922. When I rolled 6922 tubes it definitely improved the performance compared to the stock tube that Lab 1... | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Hey mboldda1,I decided that after what Srajan of Six Moons reported in his excellent, along with the quotes from me, review on the Kinki piece being a terrific performer it was not necessary to write my own review. Everything that is stated in hi... | |

Coda was going to send in pictures for the review today. Hopefully, it will go up on hometheaterreview.com in the next few weeks. I did not have the experience of comp... | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. Hey Guys,I'm not an electric engineer so your belief that this speaker's spec of 101dB just can't be so I'm not going to challenge on theoretical grounds. Why don't you contact Erol to discuss this with him. I'm driving this speaker either with ... | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. Hello tdwolf1414,Yes, I have tried three different SS amplifiers, including the XA25, and the Model 50 delivers superb results with these much higher powered amps. With each, the speaker's very high level of transparency allows the different ampl... | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. To answer your questions:1) Don't know what drivers Erol uses in the mastering series.2) I'm going to get in for review Eric's new Prefect SET speaker next month for review. Knowing Eric's creativity they will be wonderful and offer SET amplifier ... | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. Hey Dan,You should contact Aric (413-627-2543) of AricAudio who builds great tube gear at very reasonable prices. If you look him up on different AudioGon threads you will read nothing but accolades about him as a person and the hand-crafted piec... | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. Hey brownsfan,It will probably go up on hometheaterreview.com in March sometime. To drive a speaker with a 6SN7 is "mind boggling" without losing overall dynamics/lower bass/dB levels and keeping the beautiful purity of tonality, transparency, and... | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. Hey boxer12,The Tekton open baffle model was a great speaker if you love planar speakers, but want more dynamics and pinpoint imaging. However, I never tried them with a SET amplifier, my hunch would be it would not be a great match. The Model 5... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts To answer jones4music directly:No, his patented design is unique and has nothing to do with Roger Russell's work or any past line array designs. That's way he waited until his patent was accepted before he started to build the DI's and the genera... | |
| The first review on the Linear tube Audio MicroZOTL preamplifier has gone up Hey supabayes,The Pass Labs HPA1, used as a preamplifier, is a terrific performing linestage. I wrote a review on it and found that it surpassed the performance in my system of the Pass Labs three box reference preamp for so much less money. Wha... | |
| The first review on the Linear tube Audio MicroZOTL preamplifier has gone up Hi kw6,The MicroZOTL is not just a % change, but qualitatively does everything better then its less expensive sibling. If you read the review it will give you the details why this preamplifier takes the performance across the board of the MZ2 to a... | |

| JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player Hello aolmrd1241,The Jay's transport does three things better in my system then the PS Audio: 1) It soundstages with a more accurate sense of space and layering in that space. 2) The individual images are more 3D with air around them. 3) There i... |
