| match of qsonix with playback design 3 or 5 dac Wish I could help; I'm using a Qsonix 205 paired with the tube DAC output of an Ayon CD-5s, then going to tubed VAC Phi Beta preamp to Hegel H-30 amp; and its much better than my previous PS Audio perfect wave DAC I...I use AES digital out, prefer... | |
| Hegel H200 Loving my H-30, running one as a stereo amp; as suggested by Robert Harley; don't need the extra watts, or costs of running monoblocks with this great sounding amp...leave it on 24/7, no problems....incredible midrange and vocals, great air, silen... | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? Hey people; I didn't expect this post to drift off into this level of 'bashing'....I was hoping that other people who enjoyed THE Show would be able to share their experiences of what they heard, what they liked, what stuff were they able to audit... | |
| Hegel Amplifiers I guess I am one of few folks to own the H-30...it replaced Bryston 28ssts, I'm running it as a single amp; stereo mode. It has incredible depth, great sound stage; and lots of current. I found I've turned down the dial of my VAC preamp to get sim... | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? any comments on the speakers mentioned? Other consideration for 'Best of Show'? It was a great show, like to hear from others...even though the price of admission now for gear is geting a bit steep... | |
| Good speakers under 10K. Don't forget the Dali Euphonia M5's, occasionally go on sale here for around $7k/pair; retail at over $14k; a great and under appreciated speaker; it has the slight warmth you are looking for; with their wood-pulp drivers; and they have a great in... | |
| Extremely well recorded jazz double bass? cymbals? My all time favorite that meets your question is the high quality CD from the Japenesse JVC pressings; Oscar Peterson, 'We take Requests'...its one of my favorite; the first track has a double base being played by the bow; you can easly hear the g... | |
| Female Jazz Singers...new person/new releases... Nicole Henry,"The very thought of you"Maysa,"A woman in love"Jacintha, "Jacintha is her name"Ana Caram"Hollywood Rio" | |
| Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s I too notice a high, metallic 'ping' sound from my Ayon CD5s when changing sources; and it locks on to new source; its just a blip then wonderful and warm sound. I use balanced IC's from Ayon, but run it into a tubed VAC preamp; then out balanced ... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? I heard the QOL device today while visiting with Dave Weinhart; of Weinhart Design in Los Angels; he had it after his EAR pre; and hooked up to EAR tubed amps; driving Magico M5's; source was Sooloos server running thru Star-tech dac, and I brough... | |
| VAC Ren Mk III / Sig mkII Preamplifier with SS Amp Paladin: I have an older VAC Phi Beta tubed preamp, your precursor; and Dev had a Signiture Mk ii; we both were paired up to Bryston 28sst mono blocks; at 1000 watts/per; and had great synergy; Dev ultimately stepped up for the VAC 450 tubed amps;... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? I've been reading this thread with some interest; especially after reading Robert Harley's review recently. I've been curious about adding room 'tweaks', either the Syergistic Research ART system of bowls on wood blocks; the Stein music harmonizer... | |
| Best tube dac available? The Ayon makes a nice tubed DAC; with full array of digital in/out..and up samples.. I have the Ayon CD5-5; integrated transport and DAC with tubes; and quite happy with sound when used with my Qsonix music server...much better than the PSAudio it... | |
| Comments on Bryston or Krell for Dyn Temptations also consider the Hegel H-30; reviews will be forthcoming; its a brute of an amp; without the feedback issues; and should be considered in the same category. i have Bryston 28sst's; and really enjoy them on my 87db Venture speakers...great control... | |
| Small Floorstander That Uses Ribbon Tweeters? Don't forget the Dali lineup; their Icon; or Halycon speakers have a ribbon tweeter with a silk dome hybrid...great and open highs; beautiful cabinets, nice low end for the money.... |
