| Need Help Choosing a Tube Preamp for a Classe Amp I've been considering the Aesthetix Calypso, but there have been a number posts about tube rush issues, months of tube rolling to find the right combo and relatively short tube life. But this might not reflect the majority experience. | |
| DAC instead of Pre-amp I'd like to weigh in here because I've been doing some experimenting lately and I think what I've heard might be helpful. I have owned a Meitner BiDat that has it's own volume regulator and, for years, I have run it directly into various amps via ... | |
| do you use a pre-amp with your DAC? I'd like to weigh in here because I've been doing some experimenting lately and I think what I've heard might be helpful. I have owned a Meitner BiDat that has it's own volume regulator and, for years, I have run it directly into various amps via ... | |
| Shunyatas New CX series To me, this CX versus Anaconda Helix conundrum is huge. Why spend $900 on a used Anaconda Helix when the entry level CX cord bests it? I hope somebody does a comparison and posts the results. | |
| Shunyata's Hydra 8 Version 2 vs V-Ray version 1 Thanks for the feedback! | |
| St. Louis, Missouri I was unaware of this. Thanks for the tip. | |
| Speaker and Interconnect Cables for NAD C542 For a budget system like the one you describe, you should check out Signal cables, which are sold direct from their website. I used them in my mid-fi home theater system and they really hold their own. I use multi-thousand dollar Harmonic Tech cab... | |
| Has anyone spent time with the Thiel 3.7? Haven't heard them yet, but Stereophile's review this month confirms everything James63 is saying. Some used ones are going for just agove half price. Man I wish I had the dough! | |
| General Character of Harmonic Technology? Rapogee,My experience has been that you have to go up a ways in the Harmonic Tech line before you get the kind of smooth high end you're talking about. I have an "edgy" speakers (Thiel 3.6's) and it wasn't until I got the Magic Link II's by HT tha... | |
| Moray James Digital Coax This is an old forum, but I stumbled on it decided to try a brand new model of the Moray James digital coax. I compared it to the Kimber Illuminati and the latest iteration of the Harmonic Techonolgies Platinum XLR digital cable. The associated eq... | |
| All time favorite speaker cables I, for one, love this thread because I like to learn what other people have tried. It's only a competition for people with very, very small penises. Anyhoo, I've learned from Krellman that I've *got* to find a set of Supra's to audition. My own cu... | |
| MUSEATEX CDD My Museatex Melior finally gave up the ghost last year. I'd love to have John Wrigh mod it, but there are no replacment transport mechanisms. It was a fantastic transport. I'm now using a refurbished CEC TL5100 and it's pretty close if not equal. ... | |
| Harmonic Technology Pro 11+:any opinions? I used the Pro11's for 8 years and they were fantastic in my ARC/Thiel system. It wasn't until I heard the Harmonic Tech Magic Reference Woofer cables that I had to make a switch. When it comes to bang for your buck, you can't beat Harmonic Tech P... | |
| Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat Not to challenge the expertise of others here, but I don't believe that the modded BiDAT driven directly into a seriously decent amp and using its digital volume control can be surpassed by ANYTHING under $10,000, including the Bitstream, as good ... |
