| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? I currently have a DSD for sale, and I'll tell you why. It has less gain than the PWD, so in my low gain, direct-to-amp system I was able to top out the volume control. The music was plenty loud, but there were times I wanted a tiny bit more and c... | |
| Classe Seventy amp found in alley Sounds like a great policy. Destroy any lost items, even if other people want them. | |
| The sound out of jplay 6 is astonishing "If you put a quarter on my preamp, I'll tell you if its heads or tails, but I can't hear this." That's winning use of hyperbole! | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes No worries Charles, you've been properly careful with your language. It's just that I'll be buying a new pair of 300b tubes sometime next fall and now you've made me want a more expensive set. And, unfortunately, I'm now stuck wanting a new rectif... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles, I take it you can just drop in the Mullard GZ37 in the rectifier location on the Franks? I'm still pretty new to this game...P.S. I kind of wish there hadn't been such a positive impression of these Elrog tubes. I was all set to spend hal... | |
| Dalis or Thiels This is shamelessly self-serving, but if you end up going with the Thiels, I have a pair of 2.4s (in maple) that I'll be putting up for sale in the next month. If you happen to be within driving distance of Boulder, CO, you could bring your amp an... | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Sorry... I'm a scientist, so I always get a kick out of suggestions like just ignoring the results of tests you don't agree with (i.e., negative results). This is a great way to not have to change your mind (and "win"). And of course people do tha... | |
| Room Size for Coincident Total Eclipse II Sorry for the delay. I've got a 14.6' X 22.7' X 8' room, but have the stereo confined on one half... giving me about 13' of width. I'm sitting 9.2' from the speakers, with 2.2' behind them to the front wall and a 1.3' buffer behind my listening po... | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? "The best advice I can give is to throw out the tests that obtain negative results"Sounds like a winning formula. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC "Does the DirectStream sound better with that cable?"This seems like a critical comparison. | |
| Room Size for Coincident Total Eclipse II I'm assuming you'll be putting the speakers on the short wall so that you've got the full 13' to play with? You might also try to solicit some opinions about the ability of the drivers to integrate properly at that distance. I have Coincident SEII... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older I never tried it, but in line with someone's comments above, I have heard people say that AR is a great match for Thiel, and VAC at some point was voicing their components with Thiels. I, of course, had great success using a lower-powered SS with ... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older I agree with Charles, get the 3.7s. That said, if you want to pick up a pair of 2.4s to hold you over, I've got a set in maple that I need to put up for sale. | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Charles, posting in your system thread to keep it on topic here... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older I am in the midst of switching over from a Pass Labs INT-30A/ Thiel 2.4 system to a Coincident Super Eclipse III/Coincident Frankenstein 300b SET system...The Pass/Thiel combo is a bit warmer, at least with my source, the PS Audio DSD (and no pre-... |
