| Auricap Upgrade for Belles 21A Mine were upgraded with 2.2 mic 400V. You may want to upgrade diodes and main smoothing cap for primary power supplies. You will notice a dramatic difference in layering and depth but it will take about 300 hours for the caps to run in. | |
| Analysis Plus vs JPS SC3 Thanks | |
| Eastern Electric's new tube DAC using ESS Sabre?? I have tried Telefunken smooth plates, GE BP Triple Micas and Mullards Box Plates. The Box plates a way more musical than any tube I have tried. The Teles were fantastic in a previous pre-amp but were very disappointing in the EE. The soundstage d... | |
| Tubelike SS Power amp The Herron M1 monos are fantastic with the liquidity of tubes, great sound but with slam and extension not normally associated with tubes. I love mine and my days of searching for amps are over! | |
| Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 I have owned the CS 1.5, CS2.3 and CS 2.2 and preferred the 2.2 by a large margin. They sounded more natural with unbelievable when listening to piano recording out of the room. The metal drivers to me, made them sound hard and forward. I still ha... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING It's easy, unless you have fat hands. Just 1/4 turn to remove tube sleeve and pull tube straight out. I wiggle mine a little and it comes right out. The smoothplates were wonderful in my pre-amp but not that good in the Dac which was eye opener si... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING I would definitely take it slow before dropping down 5K on outdated technology. The Minimax is that good and it does get better with tube rolling. Telefunken smoothplates didn't work well in my system, better focus, detail, imaging but the soundst... | |
| Eastern Electric's new tube DAC using ESS Sabre?? Guys,Not sure if you have discovered that the Dac phase switch should be lit red for better sound quality! Found out by accident last night and WOW, what a difference! | |

| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Sorry to hear the Dac is not living up to expectations in your system! You should notice an improvement with tube rolling and so far my 5814A are better than my $100 Tele smoothplates. My CD2 is bright in comparison to the EE, soundstage is richer... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING I have the CD2 and thought about upgrading to the CD2s, but after hearing the EE DAC after install and cold, the CD2 doesn't come close. My soundstage is deeper, wider with images you can touch. My system is very resolving and I'm hearing things I... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING The Eastern Electric Minimax DAC plus the CD2 blows the CD5 out of the water. Get one while you can before the demand goes through the roof! | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Received my VTSP 3A last night, cold out of the box and all I can say is WOW! Rich, dynamic with you can almost grab images. You can almost feel the emotions of the Violin and Cello player in "You raise me up" track. I definitely feel like I've be... | |
