| A cable too perfect? zlone Thank you for the heads up, I'll have to add some Neotech rectangular cable to the collection. | |
| A cable too perfect? lorde73 Sorry for the delayed post, I've been out of the country for the last month. I have rotated through a bunch of mid-priced cables, but will only talk about what I have now....the rest I gave to audiophile buddies. I have (and rotate throu... | |
| Furutech PC's? Just my preference, but I don't like anything rhodium plated from Furutech; to me it just doesn't sound correct, and is usually sibilant....that applies to receptacles and connectors | |
| Mullard EL34 that sounds best For current issues I have both the PSVane EL-34 PH (Philips replica with metal base) and the EL-34 UK which is a Mullard replica. The EL-34 UK is very good for the $35 price per tube, and the EL-34 PH very very good, but is about $100 per tube. T... | |
| Do military/industrial tubes sound better than regular ones ? Give Brent Jesse a call 847 496 4546, he's the best "font of information" on NOS tubes. I will also add that in my preferred tubes are usually medical/broadcast/military......not always, but usually. The fact that those types of tubes are supposed... | |
| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? OP I was there up until about 4 years ago. My old system was not even hooked up in my house any longer, and I'd been "out" of audiophile for about 10 years. For hoots and giggles, I decided to check out Axpona audio show since I live about 30 min... | |

| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! charliee I drive my CODA S5.5 with an Aric Audio Motherlode XL (adds balanced XLR inputs and outputs), and the combination is ridiculously outrageously good; with all of my amps. I've also borrowed a Raven preamp, and it too was amazing with my ... | |
| Class A bias, speaker sensitivity, watts...? This is from a discussion regarding the CODA S5.5 (which I own and LOVE) which is 50 wpc Class A at 8 ohms, and amp is capable of delivering 100 amps. The explanation as to why it does not halve in class A as the ohms drop, has to do with the high... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision zarf Since my last post was exactly a year ago, I've had a lot of time with the Motherlode XL; and it is still my reference preamp......and will be for a long time. As I mentioned in my initial post, subsequent posts, and in the year since; I've... | |
| I am checking out these DAC's for my system Look at the best Denafrips DAC you can afford. Anything Pontus 15th and above is brilliant. The 15th series are virtually the same as the next level up DAC. Most musical and fun DACs to my ears Pontus 15th same as Venus II 12th Venus 15th same ... | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers Another click bait post | |
| Where to put best interconnects All cables matter, especially as I’ve upgraded components. For me it was equally important source to DAC, and DAC to preamp. SLIGHTLY less so, preamp to amp | |
| A cable too perfect? Zlone Please do post your finding once you've got some experience on the Neotech I-3220 sound with the NER connectors. It would be helpful to me as I get further into my builds. I'm just getting to some of my construction, and I started with spe... | |
| A cable too perfect? Zlone Which Neotech cable and connectors are you using? The right ones could be the solution, the wrong ones more of the same |
