| Kora Hermes or EVS Millenium or Audio Note DAC One.1x? I have heard the EVS, owned the Hermes (24/192) and now have the Audio Note 3.1 X Balanced. The EVS was not musical, the Hermes was excellent and a good value. But, the Audio Note 1.1 X blew the Hermes away with its transparency; the AN does not o... | |
| 300B tube ringing It may well be the 300B; however, it could be your driver tube. Consider swapping, left to right, your 300Bs and recheck the ringing issue to rule out another source. Jim. | |
| Death of Vinyl? Nah Check Ralph Towner on one of his solo performances...Nirvana. | |
| Component video cable? My experience with Rick and his audio and video component interconnects has been my choice after wide and, yes, expensive experimentation. I have VD (not the infection) wire and no regrets. Jim. | |
| 4 ohm speakers with tube amps? If it has 4 Ohm taps, Yes. | |
| Is it worth upgrading DVD to progressive scan? YES!!! | |
| 300B king of tubes? Stereophile did a review a couple of years ago and the WEs came out on top. They are pricey, but I got WEs and will replace these with WEs. My $0.02, Jim. | |
| Review: Audio Note DAC 3.1 Balanced DA converter Kevin,You have set a new standard for reviews and thank you for your time. I write only to say as an Audio Note 3.1X Signature owner, that I have compared the Audio Note 1.1X Sig to the Audio Logic 2400 at $4,500 (as well as several others) and wi... | |
| Opinions on Audio Note ANj speakers I have the Audio Note E-SECs and, frankly, feel blessed. However, my story begins with the cheapest AN-Es. I brought them into my home on a lark, just a data base enhancing sort of move to further appreciate my Kharma Ceramiques which were four, t... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck The chain is no stronger than its weakest link. | |
| Transformer coupled / Capacitor coupled Hi Clueless,My recollection of the effects of capictors vs transformers during my radar repair days was that if you want to alter the shape of a waveform, eg, a square wave (which may appear simple, but is rather complex) use a capacitor and if yo... | |
| Why do the Audio Note preamps sound so much better I will concede from the outset that I have a bias, forgive the play on words, for I am an AN owner. The point I wish to make is regarding my experience with two passive preamps: the EVS attenuators and the Placette passive preamp. IMHO, I found th... | |
| Upsampling the way to go? ? Some of these go back a ways: MBS Full Nelson, Millenium #1, Dodson DA-217 MK IID, 47 Labs, Audio Logic, Kora Hermes, and Audio Note and at least a couple of others. BTW, the Audio Note, the cheapest DAC 1.1, SOUNDED the best. I have the Audio Not... | |
| Upsampling the way to go? ? When comparing upsampling, which I was championing, to one bit sampling, I was astounded how much information was lost with the upsampling equipment auditioned. The very information which provides the layering of the sound stage and air about the ... | |
| Audionote 3.1x My vote is for the Audio Note CD player after listening to those above save for the CD Heart 6000. The Audio Note is also a good value for the money. |
