| Does The Squeezebox Touch Have a Worthy Successor? I bought a SB Touch last year, OBM and great shape. My computer friend set it up for me to play into my Dac...it's a great dac, using a nice dedicated digital cable via spdif. OK. Used it once, OK. A few weeks later, the same friend saw a nice upg... | |
| Rogue M180 or Antique Sound Lab Hurricane DT? Rogue Audio makes some nice equipment that sounds really good. It is made here in the fledgling USA. It has excellent customer service based on living and working here. No one can say it doesn't have very good parts and build quality, and it's all... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Hi Bill, I understand your hesitancy when it comes to losing the beauty of the Jensen's warmth but it sounds like you have some warmth to spare considering the EL-34's in the Thor (I love that tube, its been my long term favorite output tube for a... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Hi Bill, I'm pretty familiar with the Jensens and you have described them accurately...they are a "feel good" cap that will make most systems lean to the 'pleasant' side of real. They are very seductive in that regard and even in a generally well ... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Charles, I had met him a few months ago and those were my same impressions of Lukasz...add to your list his 'humble' persona and sprinkle it with both audio engineering brilliance and an [obviously] discerning ear... and I agree with your predicti... | |
| Speaker Set-Up: Use of a Plumb Bob Hello, Onhwy61 gives true advice, the closer they are to exactly imitating each other, the more exact everything is going to sound. I believe that after all else is said and done, many people neglect the last ounce of attention to detail with rega... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Tube Research Labs GT 200's fitted with KT 150's have no serious sonic competition at any price. You will never want another amp. YM WILL NOT Vary | |
| Power Cord up to $100? Another vote for Signal Cable. Great sounding value for the money that truly stomps stock cables (of course). FWIW, (not to step on any toes) but I have tried a couple of Pangea's, including the AC-9's and found them detrimental to the music.Yes :... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I admit I have not gone through all 15 pgs of this, I'm just skipping to the end (this IS unlike me) so if its been said already just tack this on as a +1 ( or + #) for the fact that digital's soul has arrived with at least one new Dac (there are ... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? Tube amps are generally more natural sounding than ss though certainly the design, parts quality and overall synergy with your speakers and the rest of your system remain the most important variables for best sound. I'm not familiar with your bran... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Thanks Knghifi, Paul's work is truly SOTA it just takes a lot of time to build them one at a time and there's no substitute for that...As for ARC products I'm hearing such great things about the Ref 75 and I'm sure we would all like to know about ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Hi Knghifi, A friend of mine had a new pair of GT 200's recently built for him by Paul so I fortunately arranged for him to sell me his "old pair". I had him ship them directly to Paul where he pretty much gutted anything not worth saving and repl... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Yes, The KT 150's have arrived and they are spectacular. I am originally an EL-34 guy who was addicted to the midrange but also played with SED winged C 6550's for their better extension and somewhat more openness, speed and clarity across the boa... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Yup, Haven't tried the Bendix but really like the Tung Sols in my Big 6. | |
| Review: Triode Wire Labs Seven Plus Power cord TWL power cords have been a staple in my system for quite awhile. Aside from his 10G cables handling both my digital transport and DAC I have been using his 8G's in my mono bloc amplifiers as well as in my 2 Pi UberBuss power conditioners and ther... |
