| spend more money on pre or power amp ? My money goes to the front end. | |
| Accuphase A-50v OR Goldmund 28m OR Rowland 8TiHC? Goldmund are unbelievable as solid state goes. I can't think of a solid state amp I would rather own. In the past I have owned the Mim 3,6,6.8,8,9 28 and their DAC's pre etc. Even though I am a tube freak it is by far and away the best SS I have h... | |
| Audio Research sp 11 compared to the sp 10 I think the newer ones are not as musical. Just my taste. | |
| Goldmund Dialogue Speakers Very fast. Extremely efficent. Beautiful speaker. I used to own a pair. Work great with low powered SET amps. I ran mine with a pair of jadis JA-30 amps and it was incredible.Fairly sensitive to toe in and room placement. VERY HEAVY.No I don't sel... | |
| Audio Research sp 11 compared to the sp 10 I have had all of the above mentioned and agree the 10 is the choice. | |
| Kharma 3.1 vs. Quad 988 Tough call. Both are excellent speakers. Probably a couple of the best in the world. I love Quads. In fact I have owned 4 pair of different vintages. But for day to day listening and the ability to play all kinds of music I would probably lean tow... | |

I did not sell the unit to Sutts but advised he try a different digital cable as we got VASTLY different sound from the unit utilizing different digital cables.He was not interested in trying this opti... | |

| Why Aren't All Cables Pre-Burned In? It would be very expensive for amy to do as each machine can only cook so many cables. A company doing any voulme at all would need like 20 machines.Many dealers offer this service for free when you purchase cables through them.Even after cable co... | |
| Tenor amps..."to pre or not to pre" CJ and Art are both capacitor coupled.Yes I have heard the Kondo equipment. | |
| Tenor amps..."to pre or not to pre" I respectfully disagree with Asa. The Kondo equipment in my opinion is very musical but not near as fast and dynamic as the UK versions. I think it has the classic tube sound, more rolled off. Have you actually heard the UK M-5? | |
| Tenor amps..."to pre or not to pre" I did not mean to imply Peter will ever offer upsampling. He will not!!! The upsampling comment was cut and pasted in the wrong spot and should have been in the section of marketing pressure vs. what sounds right. Sorry for any confusion. | |
| Tenor amps..."to pre or not to pre" Read the thread from a user who used the naked Vishay resistors connected directly into his amps vs. the Audio Note M-5. Type Audio Note under search in Discussion Forums. Read the thread from "Why do Audio Note preamps sound so good". He also was... | |
| Transport under 1500 new or used A good tube DAC should not act as a filter or smooth things up. It should be fast open detailed but not hard sounding. Midrange to cry for. The transport is every bit as important as the DAC. I wouldn't look for either one to be a filter of any ki... |
