| A new chapter has begun. Coming up at around 60 hours now. Always sounds amazing, but I will say that some days sound better than others. With my schedule, it will take me a while to rack up the hours for burn in, and unfortunately being an all tube system, turning it on ... | |
| A new chapter has begun. Virtual System is up. Thanks guys! | |
| ARC REF5se and REF75SE, Accuphase E-650, Luxman L-509X I am an new owner of the ref 6 and Ref75se. FWIW, They are still breaking in, but they are magical. Smooth grainless highs. Not bright either. Just natural timbre. | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification My class D ARC DS450 was a honey of an amp. Full of power, with an extremely tight and controlled sound. I completely appreciate the virtues of class D, especially having owned a quality class D myself. However, now that I have all tubes, with a R... | |
| A new chapter has begun. Firstnot,When I heard the ref6 it was love at first listen. That being said,I like keeping the synergy of brands with my gear. I feel the synergistic effect of having a matching system can cause it to be greater than the sum of its parts. While... | |
| A new chapter has begun. Thanks Gregdude! Yes a lot of overtime and an awesome wife made it allhappen. I’m like a kid with a new bike. Im very taken by how smooth the highs are. They extend very well without being too bright. Listening to Roger Waters Amused to Death i... | |
| A new chapter has begun. Ashoka, I’m sorry, as a relatively new member, you’re not off to good start imho, especially with me. If you’re going to troll me, get to know me first. Have a little respect. You come across as rude and condescending. I’m no snowflake, but th... | |
| A new chapter has begun. Thanks dep14.I am very excited! I run the D48R. | |
| Pull the fuse in the analogue section? Thanks everyone. I will leave the analogue section fuse alone. You’re right, don’t fix what isn’t broken. Erik, I use a monarchy audio DAP 24/96 in line with my dac 8 and agree with your comment. Really refines the sound further, especially in... | |
| Cable Risers/Elevators revisited Acrylic will be my next experiment. My system sounds incredible at the moment. | |
| Digital coax cable, real world experiences? While I really like my Synergistic research power, interconnects, and speaker cables, I use the Pangea premier XL from my transport to DIP and a DH Labs D750 from DIP to dac. These two cables work well with each other and I especially like them fo... | |
| Amplifier Starvation Thanks guys for your responses. I was worried with a 550wpc amp that it would be a problem. I guess being a class D it ameliorates the situation. On on another note, I decided to give the system a little TLC. I've had my proac D48r for about ... | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? Johnnyb53, Fair enough. I haven’t heard any of the 7 series Maggies. I fell in love with the presentation of the proacs and haven’t looked back. But I do stand by the 1.6 not being very good with dynamic swings by comparisons. Yes, They are not i... | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? +1 Schubert. Going from my 1.6 to proac d48r has been a revelation. Dynamic range is definitely a component of emotion. While the maggiea served me well, they are no match for my new speakers. | |
| Proac Rake angle? Replaced replaced the jumper bars since day one. My shop gave me 4 small scraps of proac cable to use. Even from day one it was noticeable. :-) |
