| Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ? Teeshot,What brand and model are your monoblocs? My Classe is 400 into 4ohms and works very well with the Thiels and my Connie. I'm quite happy but every time I hear tube amps in another person's system, I'm beguiled. I guess I'd like to introduce... | |
| Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ? Cmalak,That's very helpful! I have heard from others that Audio Research is a good way to go with Thiels. How long do the tubes last on the Ref 110's before they need to be replaced? | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others I apologize for the garbled post. I swear my iPad keyboard as a mind of it's own. ;-0 | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Peter Breuninger of The Absolute Sound just give his 2011 Golden Ear Award to PS audio's Transport/DAC/ Bridge combines Golden Ear Award. Here's the text:Here's the text:"This combination may not equal a handful of units that cost far, far more (l... | |
| Shunyatas New CX series Try a 20 amp Anaconda CX with any hydra on your front end...but only try this experiment if you have the cash. ;-) | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others I read the Daggogo review of the Emperical Audio Overddrive and it sounds like a contender. I was struck by one comment the reviewer made when comparing it with several very pricey DACs, including dCS's latest. He said the differences were "subtle... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others I completely respect audiofun's observations and enjoy the thread as well. One final comment on the HDMI cable as it relates to the PW DAC. Many people are not satisfied with PS Audio's HDMI cable because, in their opinion, it over emphasizes the ... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others You wrote in your previous post:"I had a PS Audio Dac about a month ago with the bridge installed. I did a head to head comparison with the MSB on RB and hiRes. I used glass tos and the Bridge."I think you can understand my confusion. No mention o... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Touche' my friend. However I was referring to your comparison of the PW DAC and the BIDAT. I guess mileage does vary. | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Audiofun,Great to hear an update! Glad you're happy with the MSB. I have to put in my two cents about a few things. I've never used the Bridge, but I have extensive experience with the Bidat (sold mine a few months back) and the PW DAC and PW tran... | |
| Which High Res releases are worth buying? Sorry about the 24/172 typos ...I also suffer from dyslexia and the 176 versus 192 throws me off. :-0 | |
| Which High Res releases are worth buying? Ben, Very interesting observations. I'm as curious as you are. I wish HDTracks would share the re-packaging details of all their releases. Many of them are merely downloadable versions of already available SACD titles or are merely upsampled from ... | |
| Which High Res releases are worth buying? Excellent idea, Ozzy. I second the idea and will start using your system myself. | |
| Which High Res releases are worth buying? Neil Young's catalog has been re-mastered in 24/172 and the 44.1 releases of these remasters KILL the old CD releases. It'll be very interesting to see whether Neil eventually authorizes dowload sales of the high res masters themselves. If he does... | |
| Which High Res releases are worth buying? I recently compared the 44.1 CD of Beck's "Sea Change" to Mobile Fidelity's 44.1 remaster. The original recording sounded great so I was not prepared for the DRAMATIC difference in the Mobile Fidelity reissue. The recording's soundstage, bass resp... |
