| H-CAT DAC Sorry about the trouble. That's interesting that Roger has not responded. I can tell you that he's still in circulation, as based on a bunch of back and forth here in another thread about his creating the best amplifier made, I paid him a visit ... | |
| "Super Rectifier" @wig "I own and have tried all of the tubes mentioned except the Space Tech Labs and the Sophia Electric Aqua 274B blows them all away; this tube sounds like a Dac upgrade..."We need to consider the application for the rectifier. A power amplif... | |
| Have You Ever Owned QUADS? @douglas_schroeder "Nostalgia gets in your eyes. Or, perhaps we should say nostalgia gets in your ears." Nostalgia isn't what it used to be... | |
| Have You Ever Owned QUADS? People, including my speaker savant buddy, told me for a very, very long time the Quad ESL57s represented the antithesis of my sort of sound. People consider me a head banger, with a serious penchant for volume and some battleship gun low frequen... | |
| Talk but not walk? @michaelgreenaudio thank you for initiating this thread.You raise the very same issue I often wonder when reading so many the threads these days. People with no actual experience with something, and even blatantly say they will not try, spend inor... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? @david12 "it's not often raised as an issue, fire risk. There is an awful lot of high voltage kit in a hifi system. It shorts out and your house is toast."That's actually the one and only reason I turn off my power / integrated amplifiers, and s... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? @vinylfan62 your Bedini is one of my all-time favorite amplifiers, and one of the best sounding I've come across.Generally, I shut my preamplifier off, unless I'm coming back to it. I keep my tube power / integrated amplifiers turned off when I'm... | |
| What component to hang on to? @simao thank you very much for the kind words.It seems you might find yourself in a much better position than you realized? It's a great thing the VPI makes you happy. Given the cabling, Oppo, VPI, and Hegel, I think you may want to just pause a... | |
| Why Oh Why Isn't Anyone Building A Decent 2 Way Stand Mount Using You’re best served by avoiding 4 ohm drivers if at all possible.8 ohm loudspeakers present a much friendlier load to an amplifier, and will provide you with a project you can live with over the long run.In regard to 6.5" vs 8", it depends on your ... | |
| New Rega Planar 6 Having auditioned both generations, the current P6 now separates itself from the P3, and in my opinion, more than justifies the cost differential. The previous generation RP6 seemed more like a upgraded RP3, and I questioned the additional cost | |
| What component to hang on to? @yogiboy "So what’s wrong with warmth, richness and lushness?"As I always say, that's why they make vanilla AND chocolate.Along the lines of my beloved Jadis DA60, there's absolutely nothing wrong with warmth, richness, and lushness. I'm a big fa... | |
| New Rega Planar 6 @mofimadness +1I've seen the spilled silicone of some friends' WTTs never really clean off. Interesting, and in fact, unique product. But not the rig for me.Also strongly agree on the Planar 6 | |
| Why Oh Why Isn't Anyone Building A Decent 2 Way Stand Mount Using @freediver I agree with you on the Silver Flute drivers. Both the 6.5" and 8" represent tremendous value for money.I have several Silver Flute tweeters (and a pair of 10" woofers), and in addition to not matching at all cosmetically, they really ... | |
| What component to hang on to? As @rhljazz mentioned, I don't see any reason to sell the cables at this point. Since they take the sonics in a direction this way or that way reflecting your system and your personal tastes, and you don't know where you will end up, it makes sen... | |
| I'm thinking about a Jolida system, and would like to know from those in the know! You really can't make a wrong move here, both amplifiers will provide fine build, reliability, customer support, and good sound.I've spent a lot of time around both products and both companies. Rogue brings a higher parts quality in such areas a... |
