| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC I mistakenly thought Morningstar was located in GA, my bad. Still no meaningful comparison to Metrum. If none, I believe I will buy a Metrum and conduct a shoot out and purchase the upgraded new EE if it wins, since it doesn't appear that any one ... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Hi Morningstaraudio,Your 2Cents is highly valued. So, the Dexa Discrete Op amp is the ticket to a more analogue sound, more warmth, more body to the sound? How much in the older volume control unit? Also, I'm in southern GA about 40 minutes north ... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Thanks for the responses, frankly, I thought I'd get at least several more folks here who have direct comparison. Mr. Tennis, I am tube biased as well, pun intended, and have swapped out a number of 12au7s since I purchased the unit. These include... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help Great discussion, I am really enjoying. I always wanted a Jadis Orchestra to try out, but I already have four tube amps, maybe down the line a bit... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review Yeah, there is just something wrong here, doesn't sound like your typical Primaluna integrated at all. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review Mechans, the Cary V12 does normally come stock with EL 34 tubes, but I ordered mine with KT66s. I also have EL 34 tubes for it. I like the KT66 better, but best in the V12 to my ears is the same Russian NOS 6n3ce I generally use in my Primaluna Di... | |
| Tekton Lore ...... compare with Vandy 1C Adam18, given your last statement just stick with the Vandy's...if you're loving the 1C, maybe you think about moving up to the 2ce; they are wonderful speakers. And if you are in the NJ area let JohnnyR help you get the most out of them. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review Devilboy, the Primaluna is integrated, I bought the Eastern Electric before its latest incarnation and have not swapped out the op amps as many folks are doing; it's reported to be more analogue-like. I'm happy as it is now, but the Metrum intrigu... | |
| Tekton Lore ...... compare with Vandy 1C BradlukeO, will try, I'd love to run the V12 on only 4 tubes, 6 per side is my only long-term complaint, it's a great amp to my ears. I bought my unit from John at Audioconnection, and if I were still in NJ my preference would be to buy from him p... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review Devilboy, well stated, I really like your set up and I believe I would enjoy it immensely. I'm rethinking my DAC with the Primaluna office system, I am currently running an Eastern Electric DAC with Shuguang Black Treasure tube and upgraded fuse. ... | |
| Tekton Lore ...... compare with Vandy 1C By the way, JohnnyR of Audioconnection is one of the best, honest dealers out there in audio land. I would always trust him and listen o his advice. I must admit that he knows a lot more than I do, but I also trust my own ears and straight up no m... | |
| Tekton Lore ...... compare with Vandy 1C Hi John, How much $$$ for what you suggest? The Tekton Lore only cost $1,000.00. One of the best bang for buck speakers out there, like Vandy's are... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review Mechans, thank you for the info on the 7316, I sort of forgot about them, rare. I will keep an eye out for them. I thought I saw a pair here on the A'gon some months back, but I will give them a go if I run across them. The Bugle Boys are excellen... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review By the way, I recently put the Primaluna EL34s back in for a couple of days of listening and guess what, they sound quite good now. Not as good as some of my other tube rolls or my 6n3ce, but sweet, not a hint of harshness, no fatigue, so don't fo... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review I don't own the Primaluna Dialogue2, but the Dialogue1 for the past 6 or so months. First-off your experience is completely opposite of my experience. System synergy is a must and looking at your components I suspect it is your ancillary equipment... |
