| How are most audiophiles going from streamers to DACS With my Lampizator DAC and their USB module it’s a no-brainer - USB! Their module uses a 32-bit engine capable of 384 kHz speed. It is asynchronous and uses two internal clocks for re-clocking. It also is self powered from an internal power supply... | |
| Tube based phono stage I may be putting my Herron VTPH-2A up for sale soon. | |
| Tube based phono stage I'd consider the Allnic H-1202 at that price. Sonics are right up the alley of a Leben/DeVore pairing. | |
| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help @rh67 The XA25 has a different SQ compared to any other Pass amp. I was wondering if perhaps I extrapolated my XA30.8 experience too far when comparing it to the XA25. This is good to know! | |
| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help It’s interesting that @rs67 felt his Pass edged out the LM805 when my experience was just the opposite - I had the Pass XA30.8 paired with a VAC Ren MKV pre and the LM805 was actually quite a bit better when paired with O/96’s. The only caveat I w... | |
| Anyone familiar with Air Tight ATM-1S? Art Dudley did a nice review back in 2014.https://www.stereophile.com/content/air-tight-atm-1s-power-amplifier | |
| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help @essrand I don't think amplifiers should be judged by weightage. I totally agree and I think my sentiment about transformer weight was overstated. Great sound trumps weight by far - it's just that so many truly great sounding similar topograph... | |
| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help @grinnell I'd really like to hear the O/96's with an amp like the Decware TORII MK4. On paper it looks like a really good match. My only "concern" is the 36 lb weight of the entire amp. The quality of the transformers is so critical and it ma... | |
| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help For serious listening I run a Line Magnetic 805ia with my O/96's with fantastic results...very emotionally engaging with a dynamic, massive, immersive soundstage full of air and detail while providing a rich textured sound and a bit of that SET ma... | |
| How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power? I used a $20 meter and could tell that my voltage was fluctuating quite a bit during the day which was also moving the bias on my power tubes quite a bit. I ended up trying a PS Audio regenerator and they gave me a 30-day return period if I didn'... | |
| How many dealers do you use? @whart Some of the Tone Poets are a killer- I recommend Katanga! before it sells out +1 !!!! | |
| Sonics? All Things Must Pass -50th Anniversary The sonics sounds like...ummm...money to me...$1,000 for all the diehard Harrison fans.https://store.georgeharrison.com/collections/all-things-must-pass-50th-anniversary/products/uber-deluxe | |
| The Raven Has Landed 20W 6L6GC amps often sound their best paired with efficient speakers that have a high and flat impedance. | |
| The Raven Has Landed Not surprising you're enjoying the detail, nuance, and dynamics of a 6L6GC-based amp over a KT88 amp. I do too nearly every time regardless of brand, with the possible exception of the Luxman MQ-88uC where the KT88's are wired as triodes -it can... | |
| What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question) With vinyl you pretty much need to go big (relatively) or go home in order to surpass even a $1000 digital front end. The mass loaded TT designs will get you there much more quickly than the fly-weight Rega designs. |
