| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage I found the following information, gained by further reading and discussions with DIYer's, very interesting regarding why the transformers in different transformer based passives offer different sonic signatures.1) "To Pot or not to Pot" that is t... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Dbld, I use a off brand, don't remember the manufacturer's name, that cost around $500.00 per rack that have three shelves. The frame is composed of very thick steel posts filled with sand and the shelves are medium density particle broad. Each sh... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Teacherman, my Tap's transformers are wound with copper wire, not silver. When I was discussing this topic with John Chapman, because I was curious regarding the copper vs. silver sonic differences regardless of the price difference, he had experi... | |
| Stealth Varidig Sextet Break In Period? Krell man, I found the Sextet to sound quite good from the beginning and that it totally blossomed around 30 to 50 hours of playing time. It's the best digital cable I have ever heard, I wrote a review here on the Gon, and will be interested what ... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Just got through with experimenting/auditioning with four different types of isolation devices to see if the Bent Tap's sonics could be improved on when compared to its stock feet.The four types of isolation devices were:1) Sorbothane 2) ceramic 3... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Drubin, if somehow what I wrote implied that I liked one of the linestages more then the Tap, but just could not be without remote or that price factors ultimately lead to my decision to purchase it, then I did not communicate clearly my intent.I ... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage During the time I was going through the auditioning of the Bent Tap linestage in my system, I also had the pleasure of listening to two other very highly regarded preamps in my system. One was tubed and the other solid state.I personally do not li... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Just wanted to share as the Bent burns in the sonic virtues I mentioned in the review, such as microdynamics, tonal vividness/image density, and macrodynamics have just gotten better as the hours go by. I would also add to this list rhythmic drive... | |
| where are Zanden dealers in the US Ramy, I believe that Glen Poor Audio of Chicago used to have Zanden as one of their lines. I'm not sure, but why don't you give them a call. | |
| CD players/Transports/DACs Ckoffend, I recommend that you take a look at a thread I started entitled, Reference Dacs: An overall perspective, which has tons of the type of information you are seeking. | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Gmood1, just wanted to share that the information regarding the type of wire that John Chapman uses in the Tap's transformers is not the stock wire of the standard Stevens&Billington transformers, is correct on my part.John uses a special OCC ... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Dbld, John Chapman, just like Guy Hammel of Placette, allows a 30 day home audition period to see if the Tap will work in your system and give the sonic signature your looking for. | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Gmood1, if you go to SIX MOONS website and look at what is called a "Pre-view" of the Bent Tap it will explain that Chapman's Bent Audio was never part of Music First, but they work together and yes both use the same transformers, but John does us... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Gmood1, I could be wrong without a doubt, but I think John Chapmen has the S&B trannies customized to a certain extent compared to the stock transformers. Also, he uses Arlon Boards and ribbon wiring which could, in a very subtle way, influenc... | |
