| Tube Mono-Block Recommendation Dragon, how do you like the sound of Bob's tube mono block? Not sure if you read my prior post about simple mods to Bob's amp that will significantly improve the sound of the amp. You can drive 1 ohm loads with his amp. | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva Audiozen, before you go trashing Carver, what is your experience with his new line of tube amplifiers? I've had his 200 watt amplifier for the past 3 years and never had one single issue with the amp. It is the most reliable and stable tube amp I ... | |
| most euphonic DACs? The Zanden DAC. Euphonic in the best possible sense. | |
| DACs With Killer Built-In Preamps IME, having a stepped attenuator installed into the input stage of my amplifier gave me the best sound I heard in my system. I've tried both active and passive preamps, both colored the sound more. I've actually had increased dynamics, soundstagin... | |
| Good dac to reproduce soprano vocals? Hfl, the delta sigma chips in most modern DACs sound processed and unnatural to my ears. The best chip I've heard in producing natural sound of acoustic instruments and vocals is the TDA1541 Double Crown chip, which virtually impossible to find no... | |
| Raidho D1 audition So you're saying the D1 knocks the Pulsars out of the nights sky? ;) I just had a brief audition of the D1s which were just taken out of the box. The only significant difference I hear is the increased bass slam of the D1s. They aren't broken in s... | |
| Raidho C1.1 I heard the RELs do well with the C1.1s too. | |
| Raidho D1 audition Sabai, I can't fault you there. The C1.1s are very special indeed. I will be auditioning the D1 soon. | |
| Good dac to reproduce soprano vocals? Hfl, I listen to opera and gave my opinion. Try NOS ladder DACs. It may be what you're after. | |
| Raidho D1 audition Hey Sabai, I'm glad you like the Raidhos. I like the Raidho C1.1s a lot, but comparing TAD CR1s to the C1.1s in two completely different systems and drawing a conclusion or opinion is of limited value. I've auditioned both (not in the same system)... | |
| Good dac to reproduce soprano vocals? Try a well built DAC based on the venerable TDA1541 chip, peferably Double Crown. The ones I've heard preserves the timbre of female vocals like no other modern DACs, closest to a vinyl rig. The modern DACs may be better at soundstaging and imagin... | |
| Diamond drivers Phusis, may be you should skip the C1.1 and have a listen to the new Raidho D1 with the diamond mid/bass driver. Dynamics are supposed to be significantly increased over the C1.1. | |
| Raidho D1 audition I know a dealer in US who carries both Magico and Raidho line. His take on the D1 vs Q1 is the D1 is a more refined speaker with better resolution and staging/imaging, and better rendition of timbre and microdynamics. The Q1 is a more balls to the... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly The standard knobs on my Cherry 180 fit the GP. But my Cherry 180s may have different knobs than the current production. I would get the GP first and see if they fit your standard knobs. | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Hi Thuan, I have the GP Mini-V Mono, 100kOm, in my amp.http://www.goldpt.com/prices.html |
