| USB to SPDIF Converters I used the M2Tech hiface for about a year, and realized that while very good I could get better sound into my old dac. I've since upgraded to the M2Tech Evo combined with a linear power supply and couldn't be happier. I run ST glass from the Evo t... | |
| Wadia 151 + Dynaudio X12... what speaker cable? +1for the Crimson, especially considering the price to performance ratio. | |
| Solidstate king of immediacy for ceramic drivers ? Why "no tubes" I wonder... I know 3 people including myself that drive Martens with tubes. | |
| What's more important: phono stage or amp I look at it this way... The amp is on all the time regardless of the source. And if the amp can't deliver the goods you'll never realize the potential of the phono stage. But what do I know?Tony | |
| Thoughts on current EL-34 tubes I hate to say this but forget current production.... If you really want to know what an EL34 is all about get yourself some new old stock (NOS) Mullard xf2's or xf3's. They'll smoke you and last a lifetime. | |
| Audible Illusions M3A preamp--best matching amp I'm using very old VTL Compact 100's with my AI M3B, and it sounds great... | |
| Help with a first tube amp Please Entrope offers some very good advice and brings out a very interesting point, our hobby is very subjective.I have to laugh about EL34 being light on bass and rolled off on the high's. This where it starts getting complicated; not all tubes are cre... | |
| Help with a first tube amp Please OP's price reange was $1000.00, you can't get a VTL IT-85 for that price. I have to admit it will smoke the just about any Jolida. I have the IT-85 (with upgrades caps) in my bedroom set-up. The Will Vincent Dynacos are also very nice but not inte... | |
| Help with a first tube amp Please You may want to look into the Jolida 202, if 40 watts is enough for your speakers. It's a nice way to start with tubes providing that lush el34 midrange, and can be had (used) for under your price...Good luck. | |
| Mark Levinson n°39 or dedicated DAC? I'm not trading in my Levinson 360s anytime soon, even if it is 90's technology - LOL. It's almost vinyl like in its rendering and handles 24/96... Using one of the many bridge products out there I feed digital from my Mac MIni into the Levinson a... | |
| Dynaudio c-2 ...amp advice Mcintosh or simaudio Try tubes for some real fun... I was driving Special 25's with an MC402 for a bit, and then switched over to the VTL ST-150. It had all the power I needed, tight bass control, great midrange and very nice highs. It's a common audio myth that Dyn's... | |
| Best tube integrated with Merlin TSM-MMI? Give a listen to the VTL IT-85. I've got one with upgraded caps driving Dynaudio Special 25's. With good NOS Mullard EL34's it will bring out the wizard in your Merlins... | |
| Benchmark VS Mark levinson 36 DAC ????????? depends on how you like your sound??? foward and bright vs. refined and vinyl like | |
| Best sub for Dynaudio 1.3SE's I used a Dynaudio Sub 250 with my Special 25's for home theater, but in the end it was overkill. With the right gear and room treatments you really shouldnt need a sub for 1.3SE. | |
| Mark Levinson No. 36 DAC & High Resolution Files Danger Will Robenson!From what I've read the W44 dac2, while being a great player is going to be far more digital sounding than the Levinson. If you like the analog sound of the 36 keep it and spend your money elsewhere.Tim, you should hear the 36... |
