| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Wow, what a stunning system in a fantastic room the OP has. Too bad this thread went off the rails, but as many others have posted, if you don't hear a difference, stick with your excellent Mogami cables. Good for you to try different wire. I w... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 For the money, it would be difficult to do better than a Don Sachs Kootenai KT88-based amp. A few are available at the moment. | |

| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? I heard them at Axpona and was extremely impressed. | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? Easy question to answer: KEF LS50 speakers. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Listening to my Raven and Don/Lynn's 300b monos, with my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers, is an experience that transports me to another realm... of pure musical enjoyment in an astonishing fashion. I am not embellishing what I am hearing one bit. I ... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp I have had the pre-production "shoe box" 300b monos as well as the Raven for several months and have owned all Don's earlier preamps and the Kootenai. They mate very will with my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers. Outstanding gear, no question. | |
| Connectivity for Gustard U18? I connect my iMac to the Gustard with a USB cable and then from the Gustard to my DAC I use an AES/EBU connection. I have explored no other connections. | |

| Connectivity for Gustard U18? Thanks for the response. It is indeed a plug and play device. I am very happy with its effect on the SQ of my system. | |
| 300b lovers Once and always, Charles sets the bar for thoughtful and positive responses to topics on this forum, which in 10 months regarding this thread, have always been very upbeat and positive. When we are treated to a master class in tube design philoso... | |
| 300b lovers Alexberger, You are sure right about that. I have Don Sachs new preamp and his shoebox 300b monos and swapped out my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers for a pair of updated AR 2ax speakers and they sound extremely musical. A great front end yields ben... | |
| JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers. I heard the Jubilees at the sole high end audio store in Sacramento and my jaw dropped, sublime sounding speakers. At ~$35K for a pair, they are a veritable bargain for their SQ. | |
| Can DDC of another brand be used on Denafrips Dac?Audio GD etc A further thought. My audio pal just got the Berkeley DDC unit and I will be keen to compare how my $500 device compares to his $2500 unit. I imagine all these DDC devices have a high degree of efficacy. |
