| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? OP, I had the same issue and question on two threads. I see splenty of great recommendations above. I seriously considered 3 of them. Unltimately I went with a Doge 7 tube DAC. I’m not a pro reviewer and so much of this is subjective so I can’t t... | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular $600 new seems high for 8 GL KT77s. I thought they were about $40 a copy. | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular Wolf, if you do not like them I could buy them off you. But seeing as they are $30 a pop not a huge loss, which is why folks should try them out. I love KT150s but at over $100 a pop they are a bigger risk for folks. And Wolf you are making me ... | |
| Great sounding 'newer' Jazz Recording from 2010 Thanks for the rec guys!!! | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular But I should note I like tubes like I like women. All are beautiful in their own right. Some just do it for me more than others. :) I will compare my notes and make an update with more details. I sgoujd akso note note the Gold Lion kt77 is the onl... | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular In contrast, the EL34 can be a touch droopy and slow. It also lacks a bit of the whole spectrum while focusing on midrange. The 7581a gives a broader view like a KT88 but with charm and romance in the midrange. | |
| Great sounding 'newer' Jazz Recording from 2010 I almost forgot- some of the chatter before the songs adds to the picture of the recording. It’s utterly real and shows the room so to speak. | |
| Great sounding 'newer' Jazz Recording from 2010 I’m glad you liked it! I felt compelled to pass it on because the sonics are extraordinary in today’s modern world of hi fi. | |
| Tube Rolling with the Line Magnetic 518 IA @willmacc, I don't have this amp. I have a Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated and have tried the Tung Sol 7581A reissue. I highly recommend them. I've rolled KT150s, KT88s, EL34s and the 7581as. The Tung Sol 7581a is my favorite. I like the 1... | |
| The truth about why modern music is so awful. I have to agree with much that is in the video. On some level, this has been going on for a long time. I think it just got progressively worse and we are at a tipping point--into realization and backlash by consumers OR acquiescence into it furth... | |
| Ever tossed a record aside as poorly engineered and produced only to think otherwise later Maybe it’s my system is way better these days but I’m finding other recordings I previously dismissed as “listless” from the engineering or production level (not the art or music). One such recordung is Clapton’s 461 Ocean Boulevard. Listened las... | |
| Ever tossed a record aside as poorly engineered and produced only to think otherwise later @gawdbless, my sense is you’re joking around but if not all apologies!i should’ve used the term “listless” | |
| Gold Lion KT77 tubes for Primaluna Amp - a few questions johnss, any chance if folks PM you with their email you could send pics of your unit showing the actual caps you swapped? | |
| Ever tossed a record aside as poorly engineered and produced only to think otherwise later You are correct, Frank, Charlie Parker never played a motif twice. Endless ideas. Endless. | |
