| Pass Aleph P vs BAT VK20? Have VK60 and Aleph 0... I owned an Aleph P, version with remote. I found it very clean but lacking in dynamics- a softer sort of sound. That said, I now have a Pass INT-150 which I like and I own a Pass X15 phono pre which I also think is very good.But for me, on the P, ... | |
| solid state integrateds that will hold their value Mcintosh holds it's value. You need to buy used. My current integrated, still in production, cost me less than 50% of MSRP- it's was bought used. I am sure I could sell,it for what I paid. This hobby need not cost money if you buy used and buy wel... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? "Sounds like we had better call Mulder and Scully in on this case"Now that's one of the best thoughts Brought out on this thread | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Yes- Duesy is correct, but for the sake of this thread, wanna argue about it? Me neither | |

| 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. | |
| Voltage conversion in Wyred4 Sound DAC If you email W4S chances are EJ will respond personally. Can't get any more direct than that | |
| Best Integrated, period. A friend has an ARS Emitter I Exclusive which is also quite good. Not the typical German hifi, all strident and bright. I would not call it lush, but rather extremely neutral. It's almost certainly more transparent than is my INT-150 which tends t... | |
| 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. | |
