| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend This is a good shootout for those interested in DAC's at that price range although I wish the Op would include Lumin. In my opinion, in that price range it will be hard to hear a discernible difference. I had multiple Dac's in that range and unt... | |
| Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty” NewtonGiven that Brian agreed with your assessment he shouldIf take them back. He could always try different drivers, capacitors or resistors in the speaker. I can tell you my Viking Acoustic Grande Voix Dual horn speakers are everything that I ... | |
| Lumin U1 Mini or Lumin T2 with Boulder 866 I have had a Lumin D2, A1, X-1 and the U-1 mini. I love Lumin. I was just using the U-1m ini as a transport while I was awaiting my music server. I now have the music server so no longer need the U-1 mini which was only used for 4 months. Send... | |
| Takayuki 300B vs Western Electric NEW Production 300B Just ordered 16 WE tubes for my Canary Audio Grand Reference Mono amps. They are currently being tested and broken in prior to shipping to me. I might order a couple of spares just in case. | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread I have questioned which way to point the fuse. I have 4 yellows in my system. I questioned Mike from TG's and this is his response..."It depends on the orientation of the iec input on the back of the component. if the iec input is oriented so th... | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! Has anyone used it on 300B tube pins? I know it is a light coat but I don't want to gunk up the tube sockets. I have 16 of them. I have already applied to cords and cables. If you paste the pins, do you just paste the tip? | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread An update after yellow fuse in Lampi Pacific for 30 hours. Definitely can hear a difference. The tonality is more pronounced and I am hearing more detail even at lower volume levels. Tomorrow I add the yellow to my Pre-amp followed by my mono's... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread George - while I appreciate your science and opinions about fuses, we have all heard them countless times. I am not an audio engineer and I just love to listen to great music. IMO fuses matters. I would like to hear from more people like mysel... | |
| Takayuki 300B vs Western Electric NEW Production 300B I am interested to hear feedback also. Unfortunately, I need 16 300B tubes for my mono amps. That is super pricey. I currently have Golden Lion and they have been ok but I am having to bias them a lot. | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread Installed Yellow into my Lampi Pacific yesterday and have had two days on it. I did try to paste the 1260 to the end caps but it was almost impossible to install without losing it all on my fingers. I still have 3 other components to install the... | |
| List your breakthrough products that you’ve discovered on this audiophile Journey. I have tried upgraded power cords, cables, fuses, tube swapping, PPT products, isolation platforms, power conditioners and noting changed my musical experience until I added a Lucas Audio LDMS Music Server to my Lampi Pacific. I would put this Mu... | |
| Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute I have a high end system and am 100% digital. I have a 8tb music server that is loaded with music so I have a lot. I also have Tidal and Qobuz. I find myself going to Qobuz more than even my own recordings. Tidal has more artists but the sound... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? I have Canary Grand Reference 300B mono amps. There are 16 300B tubes. When I purchased the amps, I purchased Golden Lion tubes. In talking with Canary they stated the biggest game changer for sound in their amps is not power cords, fuses etc, ... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal Thanks, I am still experimenting with both but will probably end up going with QOBUZ. I think the resolution is slightly better | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? Speakers for me. Never buy an amp and then try to match speakers to it. Then if you get WAF, room acoustics. |
