| Tried tubes and LOVED it, now what? @charles1dad you really make an excellent point on how much of a difference coupling caps provide.@nasaman I certainly echo Charles’ view on coupling caps. Along those lines, I’d prefer you upgrade to a superior platform first. Then, dial in the t... | |
| Tried tubes and LOVED it, now what? @nasaman I’m glad to hear you found more happiness with tubes.The Cayin A88T was a very good product, and Steve imported a lot of them. You can certainly do better, but you have to work a bit to ensure you don't just make a sideways move.I agree w... | |
| Have You Ever Owned QUADS? @tjbearman "I often listen to others at shops and friends’ houses. I’m very impressed with many other speakers, but when I get home to my Quads, I hear something that was missing in other speakers. Maybe it’s not something missing, but somethin... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @prof "I wouldn’t say this is an entirely rational adventure on my part. Part scratching an itch, part adventure, part torture, part fun."That describes almost every single one of us | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @prof I also share your opinion on the Magico loudspeakers I've been around. There's something hifi about them, and that's not a compliment.If nothing satisfies like your Thiels, live with them, and be happy. Oftentimes we need to go on a new ch... | |
| SACD It just popped into my head that SACD failing drove me back into vinyl with a real commitment. So where I put many thousands of dollars into both software and hardware over the past decade plus simply came down to this.Although I’ve heard very goo... | |
| Converting from UK power to US power @echolane I think that's a good call. Nice amp, but outside of someone buying it because it's their destination piece, it makes sense to not invest in it. The best move is often the one you don't make | |
| SACD @krell_fan1 "I am in the camp that is in disbelief that anyone could NOT affirm that a well produced SACD doesn't sound sound SIGNIFICANTLY better than it's CD counterpart."I share your opinion.My best friend is a musician, does a lot of recordi... | |
| Converting from UK power to US power @georgehifi "If the power transformer of the A3.2 has multiple primary taps which is likely, then it easy to convert from 220v to 110v, should take 1/2hr for a tech at most."Well, I’ll actually second Chicken George’s preference on this one. The a... | |
| Low Watt Solid State Amp The Dynaco ST35 beats so many amplifiers, sonically.Less easy to find these days, but the Bedini 25/25 sounded terrific, and better than most amps before or since. | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @alvin1118 thank you for clarifying.The terms fall in line with what the typically reputable company provides, and I believe that’s fair.Coincidentally, just as you posted this, I followed the link you provided earlier in this thread to read throu... | |
| SACD SACD solves my two complaints with CD and most other digital formats: 1) it restores the flow to music, and rids that sense of the music sounding chopped up, and 2) it provides the sort of low-end foundation and solidity to the music missing in th... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @atmasphere "As per usual, George omits the rest of Nelson's words **after** the quote he usually trots out. I've included more of that text above, seems to me not for the first time on this thread."Looks like @csmgolf (Cris) found the perfect ... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @dlcockrum thank you for your perspective, Dave. I do appreciate hearing feedback so I can consider and adjust.I have no axe to grind, nor is this a situation of sour grapes. Those things are certainly NOT my intention. As this thread details, I’v... | |
| Talk but not walk? I find it funny when @geoffkait accuses people he routinely refers to as "pseudo skeptics" of name calling |
