| Trumpeteer Roy Hargrove passes at 49. This is very sad news . I saw Roy live back in the early 1990s as he emerged as a a young and rapidly rising trumpeter. This was just before the release of his excellent tribute recording to Charlie Parker titled "Partner’s Mood" on the Verve labe... | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 Thieliste, Your wife has good ears and good taste😊. I suspect that she may notice the intrinsic relative 'dryness' of much solid state (granted not all) components compared to well implemented tube electronics. It's good that she's a willing par... | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 Thieliste, Does your wife have extensive listening experience with High End audio or a musician background? A lot of women seem to have a knack (experienced ears or not) for identifying what many would reefer to as a natural sound. Does she also p... | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 Hello Al,As always, thanks for contributing consistently intelligent and thorough technical analysis. I knew that Aries Cerat (AC) is in an unique category of tube amplification due to its near over the top approach of engineering, design and exec... | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 Hi Thieliste, You have a very interesting thread that has generated very good replies and comments from well informed posters. From literally everything I have read or heard about Thiel speakers it is generally acepted that they are best driven by... | |
| If attending Capital Audiofest 2018, can you provide your review of the Ohm F-5015s Mapman, I look forward to reading your show listening impressions when you have the time. I recognize that you have quite extensive experience with this line of speakers over the years. Do they mate well with moderate power push pull tube amp... | |
| Luxman DA -06 Dac Pennsy,Your continued use of the PS Audio Memory Player (MP) suggests it is serving you well and sounding good. The MP paired with the Luxman DAC should be superb as grannyring clearly noted above. I don’t know to what degree the Luxman may excee... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 1 "Overbuilt design" aspect of the Found Music 2A3 is an understatement 😊2 I wouldn’t throw frisbees in the vicinity of the this amplifier. With awareness and common sense I believe all will be fine. Mercury retifiers in the driver stage as well a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David,you have acquired an acknowledged , all out assault and state of the art 2A3 SET amplifier. It is designed, implemented and built to the uppermost level. Given your stated objective and purpose/intentions with this amplifier I think you ar... | |
| Luxman DA -06 Dac Hello pdreher, Thanks for your kind comments directed toward me and Bill. I do not doubt your listening impression of the PS Audio Memory player in your system. It’s very interesting (even amusing) how audio products can span such a range of outco... | |
| Luxman DA -06 Dac Agree with Bill (grannyring) regarding opinion variance of audio components. No matter how excellent a component can sound to one listener invariably it will disappoint another. This is just a reality of the High End audio experience . Pure subje... | |
| Luxman DA -06 Dac Hi Pennsy, Do you currently own the PS Audio Memory Player(MP) or do you plan to buy It? If you do not own one can you arrange an audition? I ask because my experience with it is quite different from pdreher’s. It has been wonderful sounding and a... | |
| Speakers for First Watt SIT-1 amp No one to my knowledge is suggesting the "shelling out of big bucks".The review is recommended simply as a source of further information. Home audition is certainly desirable if it can be arranged. I’ve found Srajan Ebaen’s reviews to be particula... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Tom, For clarification is this new amplifier parallel SET(using 2 output 300bs running full single end mode). Or are the 2 300bs per channel a push pull (PP) circuit? At 25 watts I suspect probably PP. Either way congratulations. Charles | |
| Speakers for First Watt SIT-1 amp Hi David Thanks for the correction regarding the Cube Audio Magus and the Cube Audio Bliss C models and 6 Moons review/Blue Moon award. I should’ve looked it up to be sure rather than relying on memory. Charles |
