| Vendors Who Post Mt - you may be the kind of guy who is so afraid of confrontation that you sit by while others call you and your friends liars. I however am not. I'll embark on plenty of positive promoting at the show, but right now is time to let them know that ... | |
| Vendors Who Post Jp1208 and Sprks, a couple of real internet tough guys huh? Well I know it's me who you say doesn't exist, just as you've both accused other Vapor Audio customers of not existing ... because nobody could possibly be a happy Vapor Audio customer ri... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Hey guys, didn't mean to start problems ... my post was worded like a smart ass, may apologies. I'm actually a fan of Evolution Acoustics stuff, and have enjoyed them every time I've heard them. I know I've posted positive comments about the sound... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC I concur with Sibelus' findings ... the EE DAC Plus is a very 'exciting' sounding DAC. The Metrum is more laid back and smooth, but sometimes overly so in my opinion. I have the DEXA's in my EE DAC, and they are a very noticable upgrade that I'd s... | |
| Vote for best speaker value under 5K$ Vapor Audio Cirrus at $3695 is a ridiculous value. $1000 pair of tweeters, $800 pair of woofers, stacked Baltic Birch ply cabinets, and top quality crossover components. Obviously not much profit margin built into that design, but isn't that the d... | |
| Best Speaker under $3K - New or Used Seriously Jpl, bump up a 9 month old thread for that? Using this forum as your personal toilet is getting old. You and 2-3 others that have nothing to do with anything worked awfully hard to get the last Vapor Audio thread deleted, along with the ... | |
| Where did you go after Harbeth? A pair of Vapor Audio Cirrus replaced my Harbeth SHL5's (and Focal Micro Utopia Be). The Cirrus is more refined than the Harbeth, while also more resolving than the Focal. That's the perfect combination in my mind. | |
| Power conditioning for digital gear AND tube amp? Jriggy - Chris isn't interested in helping you? Did he say that, or just that you haven't been able to get in touch with him? I know he used to be full time with building BPT stuff, but when things slowed down a couple years ago, he took a full ti... | |
| Power conditioning for digital gear AND tube amp? I have a very similar setup to yours, Ayon Triton and a DAC off the same power conditioner. My BPT BP-3.5 has worked very well. I'd say my soundstage shrinks by 30% in all dimensions when I take it out of the system, and everything just sounds slo... | |
| What Do You Hear When Your Amp Needs Biasing? More often than not I'll think I hear something off, check the bias and it's still dead on. There was one time however that a certain piano concerto I'm very familiar with sounded a bit zingy, so checked the bias and one of the power tubes was way... | |
| Gold Lion KT88's Upgrade Gold Lion are very nice, balanced sounding KT88's. JJ's are very similar sounding IMO. Two other options are the Black Treasures which I don't think would be a great match in the Mc because they're relaxed sounding, could be too much of a good thi... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? I was about to say the same thing timtim, my pair of Vapor Audio Cirrus reveals more details then my Focal Utopia Be's did, and is more refined and musical than my Harbeth SHL5's were. Once you hear something like that it's the end of your search.... | |
| Magico Q1 versus ... Hey Drumiha, your English is excellent ... I'd say you type more coherently than most Americans :)Yes, the Triton II has Ayon branded Black Treasures. They are excellent tubes, very sweet and refined sounding. I also have a set of Psvane's which I... | |
| Magico Q1 versus ... Drumiha, that's pretty much the same boat I was in ... wanted the romance of music, and still hear every detail in an immersive soundstage. The Utopia Be, looking back on it was a worse speaker than I thought while owning it. Maybe I liked it beca... | |
| Listing of Opamps for EE Minimax DAC Plus Do the Dexa's fit under the factory lid without having to make jumpers? Meaning, they plug right into the opamp socket and stand upright without hitting anything? |
