| In the sand box Sand in the bottom of my Vienna Acoustics Bachs made a difference. Tighter more solid bass. There’s a plug in the bottom and a chamber built for sand. The owner’s manual describes what to, how to load em up. Also loaded up bookshelf speaker stands... | |
| The Great DAC Mystery Intense, but might explain why I like my R2R in NOS the best, and the DS in my second rig, that ASR measured @ -123 dB SINAD with filter #4, slow roll, linear phase. The least pre and post ringing mirrored impulse curve. | |

| The New Western Electric 845 Replicas Have a Willsenton R800i 845 and upgraded stock LinLai HiFi series 845 to Shuguang 845B, the Amperex 845 replica. HUGE improvement. Smooth, powerful, linear frequency range with great balance and force. Realize the Willsenton is not a Cary 805, but... | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay Denafrips Pontus II fed by an IRIS in front + Klipschhorns powered by a good SET. | |
| Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500 Look into a Dennis Had Inspire. Dennis founded Cary Audio, retired and now hand builds small SET/SEP amps and pre-amps out of a small shop in Cary, NC. He sells them through ebay under radioman731. They pop up every now and then, currently he ha... | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma @lanx0003 thank for the F-M curve chart! Just when I thought I knew enough, you learn something new. I have 6 different set ups in 6 different rooms of two houses, tube amps, SS amps, high sensitivity Klipsch, Focal, Vienna Acoustics and vintage I... | |
| To all you Cary SLI 80 owners, I'm looking for tube suggestions KT-88, I’ve found Gold Lion warmer vs Shuguang Nature and Treasure. Have a pair of KR Audio 300B, absolutely superb. Never heard their KT 88, I would imagine thar are also superb, however they are pricey. EL-34, I’ve found St Petersburg Svetlana ... | |
| KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes @coppy777 you've got some serious CJ gear! I think you'd really like the KR KT-88. Per verdantaudio the sound signature of the KT-88 sounds (pardon the pun) similar to the 300B XLS, very tight, controlled yet full bass, with clear, crisp, articul... | |
| KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes I think it depends on “how good” your amp is, as well as the rest of your system whether you’d experience any sonic benefit. If you’ve got a super high end single ended with no negative feedback, like Japanese Audio Note, French Jadis, VAT or PP ... | |
| Use of Denafrips Iris 12th DDC with computer I agree with @jastralfu, I’m running a dedicated fanless silent mini PC with optimized settings, no extra programs other than iPad connectivity, fed by cat5 cable from industrial grade switch fed by optical fiber internet service streaming Qobuz. ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @gavin1977 indeed everything does matter, the IRIS in front of a Pontus II gave me 20% improvement, installing a dedicated power line from the panel with a true earth ground and higher grade copper outlets for all the system power another 10%, fib... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Put a Denafrips IRIS in front of your Pontus before you switch out DACs, I think you’ll find it $500 well spent and cheaper than a new DAC. Definitely a sonic upgrade. | |
| Use of Denafrips Iris 12th DDC with computer Denafrips IRIS in front of Denafrips Pontus II made a significant improvement in soundstage depth and width as well as clarity and detail. Now I now what a “black” background sounds like.. I’d estimate a 20% improvement, subjective of course. $50... |
