| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Yes- Duesy is correct, but for the sake of this thread, wanna argue about it? Me neither | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? As the original poster to this thread I'm astonished at it's legs. I understand threads go off in tangents but this one's a Deusy | |
| Amplifier specs, does they matter? Some specs matter more than others. To me signal to noise ratio is a big factor | |
| Voltage conversion in Wyred4 Sound DAC " Covering bright system deficiencies with warm DAC is the worst thing you can do"I think it's the second worst thing- buying gear and thereby assembling a bright system is the worst- but I've heard it so many times followed by the line "listen to... | |
| Anti-skating- test records vs. ears I've set the anti skate at about 1.25. Listening to Way Out West- zero complaints! Thanks folks- | |
| Voltage conversion in Wyred4 Sound DAC So what's the difference? Bright tweeter and warm DAC or warm Tweeter and neutral or bright DAC? To me the most important thing a DAC can do is bring layers and width to the music coupled with neutrality. W4S can do that | |
| Question about replacing 12AU7 tubes. My experience with 12au7's is as follows- Mullard is my favorite, followed by RCA clear tops. When you factor in price, the RCA clear top is a bargain. | |

| Best XLR IC's for around $300/pair? You can also typically pick up a set of Harmonic Technology Pro Silway II's for about $200 a pair in XLR's. Quite a nice cable. | |
| Analysis Plus oval 9 New v Old Agreed, they are not bright and required very little break in, in my system, to sound excellent. When I first hooked them up they sounded muddled and constricted. Within a day or so, that was done with. | |
| Anyone tighten up drivers occasionally Well, it's been about a year since I last tightened up the screws holding my drivers in place. Out of curiosity I checked the speakers 2 days ago. Woofers screws were tight, tweeter screws were tight, and midrange screws, just about all took a 1/1... | |
| Phono Amp to replace Pass Aleph Ono LP12/LIngo/Ekos/Arkiv BA friend is using the XP 15 with an Oracle table, SME IV arm, and a Benz cartridge. He likes his xp15 too | |
| "Holographic" presentation Damn, I used to own a CJ 17LS2. I guess I should have read the manual. There was that pass through feature I never tried, but I thought it was a home theater feature. | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions "I had Axis and LP12 Valhalla and actually preferred the cheaper table. It was tidier cleaner and had less wooly bass, something the higher Linns also do better. I also liked the Linn Basik"Agree about the Axis v. Valhalla. I preferred the Rega Pl... |
