Smooth and dark cables?
Have decided that in fact cables are not the solution but that room treatment would be of great benefit. I'll have to work on that one.I agree cables should not be used as tone controls. Besides room, also check synergy between your components.If ... 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
I am not sure the buffer size used by the Squeezebox driven TranspOrt. Its never been an issue with a wired or even wireless connection in my experience, but I will do some digging in case people with latency issues in their home networks have que...

What would they say? ""Well customers.. Better to wait as we might possibley find some new idea to use in a few years and then you'll be SORRY you did not wait. In fact NEVER buy our products in case we make additional changes.. never know when yo...

Berony, does the Lamp Transport cache/buffer data before play? A track? whole CD?Lukasz knows his stuff. In his Lamp Transport page, he clearly explains why computer audio is superior to cd player and without saying, IF executed correctly. 
New Thiel Speakers - Post Jim Thiel Era
However I guess in the end if it does end up sounding amazing it won't matter. But we won't know until someone gets one.Agree!Why bother buying the Thiel name?How about buy based on quality of the product?I predict they'll be filing for bankruptcy... 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
I heard mixed reviews of the TAD rooms. The word flat was bandied around. Not up to their normal standards.It would be news if there was no mixed reviews. When is there ever consensus in this hobby? Since there are many familiar with TRL in this t... 
New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
Many members on this thread are familar with TRL Samson ... TRL SS sound. It doesn't sound like SS or tubes but just music. I tell ya, it's a superb match with the TAD E1. It's competitive with all MORE expensive SS amps I've demoed. Along with my...

I decided to stick with the Offramp and just purchased the Dynamo power supply for the Offramp. Perhaps someday I can compare both the Lampi converter and the Offramp. Like to hear both in my system.I can't comment on the sound but the Lamp transp...

Upgradying Tube Preamp
I have 2 friends with Audible Illusions and they roll Reflektor 6H23N-EB. It's durable with excellent sound. AI is definitely more neutral compare to SLP-05. 
Upgradying Tube Preamp
In general, I agree with all the comments regarding preamps. Preamp has to work with a low level signal so it's difficult to build one that preserves the integrity of orig signal. Plus the ability to drive amps properly with enough features. From ... 
Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo
Rsf507, It's funny how we all hear different things. LOL! There's no right or wrong but just personal preferences. For me, more control is not just tighter but sharper and better imaging. I do prefer more bloom, less warmth, more transparency and ... 
Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo
I agree with Fjn04 you should listen with your amp before making any changes. How and what you listen to will determine the best amp for you.I too heard the Crescendos @SOS. Steve was using Atma-Sphere MA-60 with an Audioformer and I felt with som... 
Is anyone using either a Allnic L3000 or L1500?
Synergy is the key. I have the Allnic L-1500, Allnic H1201 phono and Allnic Puritas cartridge and find it way to bright with my Krell amps and B&W 801's. me too looking for a resonably priced amp that makes the Allnic sing rather than scream.W...
