| Nirvana careful before you buy the Ifi wall wart to upgrade...buzzing noise that did not go away when a source was used..a real pain because you hope for something to improve...! Chinese made stuff is really a hit or misspurchase! | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? George,wondering if you have tried to upgrade the parts, if it is possible, and if so, can the sound get even better than it already is!? Noticed that the stage is wider, and that you can hear outer edges if that makes any sense. Also, does dual... | |
| Review: Butler Audio TDB 5150 Multichamp just read this from years ago...fyi Butler was initially a car audio company, but none of the industry manufacturers take them seriously because they are beyond second rate...and for a surround amp Emotiva is great for price and sound and you coul... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Verity Sarastro 2 ..they took the Raven Ribbon tweeter apart and added better magnetic parts and also shortened the ribbon surface to widen the dispersion pattern. These speakers with the cat amp are very nice together..best for acoustic instruments. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? This Lightspeed sounded open, relaxed and showed me all musical info that I have been missing for a long time, a real game changer..AN Dac 3 fed by msb digital cd rom drive into lightspeed then the CAT JL2...endless power and dynamics and i have ... | |
| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... how can reviews be unbiased when the manufacturers are buying ads by the boatload! Wilson always put cheap parts in their products, and really did not sound all that musical until you move to the top of their line up...verity Sarastros or their bi... | |
| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio Wilson really does not have the =great sound until you spend for the top of the line....Verity Sarastro or lowengren are on a different plane...more for music lovers instead of analyzing cds...also, wilson uses cheap drivers and charges a lot of $... | |
| CAT JL-3 Versus VAC phi 300.1 monos? IMHO, CAT stands above all in the amp dept, preamps are great but not the best...German press praised Cat amps 10 years in a row as best amp in the world!These guys have MBl among other German brands in their back yard! | |
| Review: Butler Audio TDB 5150 Multichamp save your $$$, this stuff is third rate!!! Basically, it is a car audio circuit used inhome audio and the tubes are used to mask the harsh and brittle sound....I have listened to the least and most expensive amps out there and this should not even... | |
| Belles 22A users yet? imho hybrids NEVER sound better than pure tube design...why? Because they are hybrids!!!!solid state and tube gear should be seperated units and you can use the preamp with a solidstate amp and sacrifice height and width and depth of soundstage...... | |
| Help choose a preamp ... Belles & Wyred have not heard wyred, but just bought belles 21a and it beats almost all I have ever heard!!! I use this with Vac 160 musicblocks and audio note dac 3 sig...old theta transport and apogee clock in between...avalons or def tech st towers with sub..... | |
| Opinions on the best transport of 1k?? buy a used audio note, they are on a different league!!!!If you buy a Phillips , you can get Sony or Radio Shack...anyway , with solid state drives , transports will no longer be needed because the servers will have near zero jitter, and No transp... | |
| Lamm LP2 and WE417A tubes what do you lp2 owners out there think of using the clearaudio titanium cartridge with this unit?If not what are some of the best choices, I currently have a transfiguration temper W... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C4 just get the cat jl2 with the 27 pound transformer. Probably best all around amp on the planet, and for the money,unbeatable!!! | |
| New Apple Lossless encoder?? it is still a compressed format and is convenient but not the same as transpiort and dac combo with good digital cable...of course analog still sounds better than all of it!!! |
