| Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes +1 on the CCAs. I also bought the Mullards from Jesse, but I lost too much of the good stuff. The cca is so good, resolution without etch. | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? I use a swifter on my black Rockport Cygnus (lots of surface area) to remove all dust, spray on McGuires high gloss Quick Detailer, then use a new microfiber cloth very lightly. Micro fiber towels are now pretty cheap, so I only use them once on m... | |
| PS Audio Aspen FR20: Planar Floorstanding Speakers I hope they do well with these speakers. PS certainly worked hard on birthing the product line. I was very impressed with the version shown in Chicago a few years back with the removable beatifully finished wood panels. I was smitten with that ver... | |
| Happen to you? Gear chasing because the fundamentals were wrong. I listened to a current speaker model and loved it, but got cheap and bought the close-out without hearing them! I bought those speakers based on lots of reviews and industry hype. I knew better than to buy unheard, but the deal...the deal! From t... | |
| Shocking Lampizator Service Yes, his name is Rob not Fred and he is the US Distributor/direct marketing dealer. His companies include the ones listed below. Being a former national sales manager I can tell you that working with an inventor/founder like Lukasz can be a chall... | |
| Ethernet switches the good and bad My experience with improving my digital signal feeding my dCS Vivaldi upsampler and DAC with incremental hardware improvements includes: Etherregen, 4 different CAT cables, Farad LPS with SR fuse and their best cables, AfterDark mid tier ($1300) ... | |
| Poll: Most impactful component Speakers determine the character of a system. I think of them like raising kids. I used to think that I could influence my young kids to act/live like I wanted them to. Now I realize they are who they are and are largely born that way. My mom wou... | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer I switched from a dCS Vivaldi Upsampler to a Grimm MU1 about 6 months ago. It took me about 15 min. of an in home dealer demo (via UPS) to decide the Grimm was playing in a different league. If you are interested read the reviews on the Grimm and... | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. dimbhaka, let me know if you agree with my assessment! Good luck! | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. Yes, kind of. The Lampi's analog output goes to my preamp, the preamp output goes to the SHD. The SDH converts the analog back to digital, performs Dirac room correction and performs the crossover high and low pass, then converts the digital back ... | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. I use a MiniDSP SHD as an active crossover for my passive 18 inch subs. I also use the included DIRAC room correction that performs DSP on both the subs and the mains. bought the SHD from George at Deer Creek Audio and also gladly paid him to set... | |
| Tweaking the network, surprising results… I incrementally added an Etherrgen, fiber feed, Farad LPS to the regen, Afterdark 10Mhz clock, Farad LPS to the Afterdark, Afterdark upgraded clock cable, all Farad has their upgraded DC and AC cables. The sound has become quite free of digital h... | |
| For those that have separate Streamers & DACS I started streaming with the entry level Naim, then to dCS Bartok, then a Vivaldi short stack, and onto my current and favorite of the bunch a Grimm MU1, feeding a Lampizator Pacific DAC. The Naim was fun to listen too, but not as resolving as I w... | |
| $20k(ish) tube preamps No support for the VAC Master? i'm surprised as it's on my short list, tied to my Gryphon Antilleon EVO stereo. Not trying to hijack the thread, but any thoughts on the Master? | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up Through incremental purchases and listening for improvement, I have evolved to feeding an Etherregen via fiber from my main entrance point of Google Fiber. I have an Afterdark 10Mhz clock attached to the Etherregen. I have two Farad LPS feeding th... |
