| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile i have a pair of cables made of those exact wires with klei banana ends. my fave cable for most scenarios. think they'd be too smooth with older reynauds i had but never tried the newer ones. could be a good match. sylvania tubes to me does em... | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile You could swap out the Grover which I think are silver foil to something copper and maybe swap out the tubes in your Pathos. What 6922 tubes are in there now? | |
| Linear Power Supply? dekay old friend! you have a very very good memory. i think we chatted about that amp prrobably more than 10 yrs ago. time flies. | |
| MHDT Orchid v Denafrips Pontus That's bad news... the cap replacement is probably 50% of the total "GR" mod? | |
| As a chill electronica listener, should I stop at a Med-Fi system? it all depends on how the music is engineered. many music of this genre are very well recorded and engineered such as Men I Trust and Saint Etienne. IME it’s usually the large US labels that have bad recordings. | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal classic case of the govt trying to "blame the other" i don't understand why people trust fauci and pfizer. both are known liars. | |
| The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up @big_greg thanks! | |

| MHDT Orchid v Denafrips Pontus @audiewww yup seen those on ebuy. contemplating on swapping the R chips for a S1 chip in the orchid after I am done with all the other upgrades... i think i read some positive reviews on headfi regarding the toucan. | |
| MHDT Orchid v Denafrips Pontus thanks for the feedback on the amperex, @audiewww. i don't really need more warmth.. i bought a second hand HDPlex 300 and previous owner installed a SR Orange fuse. it's powering a LTA MZ2, my audio PC and Matrix H element. sound is much smoot... | |
| The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up @lordmelton I don't think I'd need firmware update if I am switching from 1541A R which is stock in Orchid to single crown since they are the same exact chip just hand picked? | |
| MHDT Orchid v Denafrips Pontus @ericsch the same tube you have WE 396A. just last night i ordered the 6922 to 5670 adapter that is talked about in the orchid tube rolling thread to try out 6922 tubes. ordered an amperex to try out. @audiewww i left it on for 3 straight weeks... | |
