| Low noise tube compliment for an Aesthetix Rhea? Realistically you have two choices. Dump the pre or get a higher output cart. I had the Rhea and even tried it with a step-up. I was not prepared to throw more money at it and waste more time looking for tubes so I got rid of it. | |
| Lamm ML2.0 vrs ML2.1 comparison Many think the ML2 is Superior. They are strange, eccentric characters who may be geinuses or idiots depending on whether or not you can profit from their quirks. There is plenty of info out there for you to find if you make the effort. | |
| Organic, Texture, and Palpability - Please Define Here are my thoughts. Organic; always thought that was a really stupid way to describe anything related to music or sound so I usually ignore the entire comment. But in general, natural is the only other word that comes to mind.Texture; to me refe... | |
| Basis Vector vs... Dan, you are right, the Vector without the damping fluid sounds very anemic. The detail is there but there is no body or bottom end.I have played with the fluid levels and have found what I feel suits my system best. A great tool is to go to your ... | |
| Basis Vector vs... There really isn't anything I dislike about the Vector. It really is a great arm and tracks like a champ. I was just wondering if it is possible to do as well with another arm. The only reason I was looking at other arms was because I still have t... | |
| New YBA equipment... Old YBA Benn, there should be a switch to initialize the player before pressing play. This will read the disk the same as a front loading player does when you close the drawer. I once had a CD3 and it had this switch. Plop a disc on, initialize, play. | |
| Gallo Reference 3.1 vs Zu Druid Tricon dave, Thank you for finding the words that have eluded me wrt the Druid sound. | |
| Top Choices Under 2K Dac and Transport I'd suggest the Museatex Bitstream dac (modded by John Wright of Museatex) with a Theta data II. That should put him at around 1000 to 1200 bucks. Add a decent digital cable and you still are under 1500. This is one of the best combos I have heard... | |
| Zu tone or Druid or which Omega ? Do not purchase the Druid without hearing it first. You may love it. You may not. I have heard it five times in different rooms with different gear. Sometimes it sounded good and sometimes it did NOT. | |
| Placette RVC review in Stereophile So then what would be ideal matching for a passive to work as well as an active. I guess it is optimizing source output impedance with amp input impecance assuming gain is more than sufficient. But what are those optimal impedances? | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables I have standard bybees in one pair. I have used the plug in bybee filters in the past on IC's and never cared for them. A little gained but something lost. NOT the case here. I have been unable to find a downside. They reveal a little more and pro... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables As I said earlier I planned to post my thoughts on the Jade cables once I spent sufficient time with them. I find that initially when one compares components, the differences are noticed and if one likes these differences, one becomes pleased and ... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables Mr. Tennis, I see you pushing Chimera Labs on several threads now. Could you please elaborate on your experience with Jade cables? I await your response. | |

| Best Transport with Museatex Bitstream DAC The biggest bang for the buck transport I had was the Theta Data II (big freakin laser disc) transport. I took it to a buddy's for him to hear and he begged me to buy it. So I sold it to him. It was the most regretful sale I ever made.Then I happe... |
