| 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. | |
| Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty” Congrats -- I guess. Are you referring to the speakers or the 300B amp? Also, it is hard to make judgements right out of the gate. Tell us more after at least 50 hours of run time. | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. I am functionally blind and as a result most of the time I resort to voice activation. Many times it does not type what I say. Therefore, if you see comments from willgolf, know that I barely can see what I type. So if there are mistakes get ov... | |
| Music Servers, Do They Matter? LalitkWhen I got my Pacific it was replacing a Lumin X-1 which I loved. IMO, there was not much of a difference in performance between the X-1 and the Pacific. That is why I made the comment that I probably didn't need to buy the most expensive ... | |
| Music Servers, Do They Matter? I received my Lucas Audio LDMS Music Server. Does it make a difference? I would not have believed it until I heard it. I have a $30k Lampi Pacific Dac and I thought my sound was great. That is until I started up the LDMS. The sound quality, t... | |
| Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good? I have had 4 different Lumin Players over the last 7 years and love the Lumin App. It is easy to use. | |
| NPS-1260 Connection fluid I have used Perfect Path Technology Graphite and the 1260 and both products produce great results in soundstage and clarity. | |
| The SHOW 2021 Long Beach, CA - Anyone going? I was going to go but looked at the list of exhibitors and it is a rather weak line-up so I am not going to go. | |
| Gryphon Diable 300 DAC vs. Lumin X1 DAC I can't speak to Gryphon but I have had 4 different Lumin Dac's including the X-1. I think the Lumin X-1 is the best sounding DAC under $19k. I also love the simplicity of the APP and accessibility to Tidal and Qobuz. I am really anxious to hea... | |
| Who here has a Raven amplifier and what speakers do you have paired with it @james1911 --if you do not have a lot of experience with audio components then you did a great job starting off. Some low cost things you can do in addition to what Millercarbon said....SR orange fuse / duplex, 1260 contact enhancer and tube swap... |
