| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Dave,I've heard your model of Tidal speakers on two occasions and I know how good they are. You have a rare yet extraordinary amplifier so I believe your system has very exceptional resolution and ability to finely discriminate musical nuance and... | |
| Why Single-Ended? Hello Kijanki,That was a very interesting and well reasoned post describing some of the inherent advantages of single ended topology. Just as Ralph presents a compelling case for fully differential balanced circuit. It is quite clear why both to... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Hi Dave (Calloway),Are you using the Cerious Graphene power cables with the Grail mono blocks?Charles | |
| Why Single-Ended? As with John I've heard modest and excellent examples of both single ended and true balanced systems. Needless to say many variables determine the final sound heard with a component or full system. I appreciate the stated advantages of differentia... | |
| Hegel H30 Stereo vs Clayton M300 Monoblocks You were fortunate to have listened to both amplifiers driving the same speaker and that’s good. This puts you in a position better than most to form a credible opinion. Based on your description I’d choose the Clayton as it is fuller and has a m... | |

| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Bill,That approach makes sense and is of very modest cost. I was referring to replacement with film caps at those very high uf values. It’s funny, the stock Crescendo sounds very well "with" the dreaded electrolytic caps. You are really enjoying y... | |
| CDP or DAC with high end volume control Manthik, Don’t be surprised if the Linear Tube Audio preamp actually improves the sound quality when mated with the Aqua La Scala and the Vitus, you never know. I look forward to reading about your listening impressions.Charles | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? I personally wouldn't bother with the bass capacitors in the Crescendo, for the effort and money required the ROI is small in terms of sonic impact. Bill you did a fine job making modifications where it matters by far the most. I'd just enjoy the ... | |
| I've decided to try Tubes Hello,I 2nd the suggestion of the knowledgeable gsm 18439, the Canadian Coincident Dynamo MK II version. The current MK II has bigger and better transformers and improved (stiffer) power supply, crucial areas for tube amplifiers. This company is v... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Al,Given the extremely high speed of propagation velocity the delay factor would be as you note insignificant (due to the lengths of audio cable). But no doubt that insulation/dielectrics exert some level of sonic influence. For example the maker ... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Darn auto spell, of course I meant Al not Alet. Charles | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Mac, Alet is universally recognized as an asset to this site for his technical knowledge. Just as noteworthy for me is his unfailing decorum, class and maturity. Mac I also have much appreciation for science and engineering. Knowledge is a good... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Hello Mike,I looked it up to be certain. AXPONA 2016 room 506 debut of the Aqua Formula with Angstrom electronics. It was one of the very best sounding systems of the entire show. Charles | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Mike, I'm pretty sure that it was the Formula. It was at AXPONA 2016 in a room featuring all Italian brands and I believe it was the North American premier for the Formula,. If I'm mistaken then I apologize. If in fact what I heard was the La Scal... |
