| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? Tabl10s: Don't think he suggested a version, I'm just going froma prior thread. Sutts just got the 5.7 and his initial posting was to rave about how much better it was than anything else he'd tried. As far as tubes go, take the stock ones for now.... | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? I'm sure Sutts is talking tongue-in-cheek about the looks of the unit. | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? Actually, on the ICs, I forgot to mention that for a while when I was waiting for the Kubala Sosna cables to arrive I used an inexpensive (comparatively, anyway) silver Vampire Wire interconnect from the DAC and, aside from it being perhaps just a... | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? Tabl10s: Jerry has maintained to me that the rca inputs are the best-sounding digital inputs in his stock units, at least in the 34 and 2400 series; as for outputs, I only have single-ended anyway, I guess the new units have balanced, but my bet i... | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? As far as digital interconnects go, I have used Siltech Golden Ridge (nice, a little soft sounding), K-Works digital interconnect (excellent, but limited production), Purist Proteus (excellent) and Kimber Selekt 2020 (also very good, probably not ... | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? Hey you saved some money!! Spend it on concert tickets, or give it to a good charity! On a related note, if it makes you feel better, I (like you) used a dCS Purcell for 4 years with my Audio Logic, against Jerry's advice, because I liked the body... | |
| A new phono stage Cincy_Bob and I are in agreement about the Lamm, and I think Jtinn's description is pretty much spot on. The Lamm is a special piece, but it does only have 57db of gain and loads the cartridge at 40 ohms, so make sure your Shelter has enough outpu... | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? Background to the music got just a little "blacker" (i.e., the noise floor seemed to lower a little) and the images in the soundstage seemed more focused. The Sink does a nice job, as does the IsobaseK, of isolating from vibrations coming from the... | |
| Sumiko Fluxbuster: How do I use this crazy thing? I may have the manual, but it's pretty easy. Assuming you're using the rca jacks, you push the rocker switch one way and leave it there, watch the lights flash until it glows a steady green (I think--might have been red), then push the rocker swit... | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? I would agree that you call Jerry Ozment as well and ask about it. The Audio Logic has an excellent re-clocking interface, as I understand it, and likely won't need it, but he'll tell you straight. On isolation, I use a K-Works IsobaseK under my A... | |
| Kubala-Sosna Power Cables By the way, check out the threads by Macallan25 and Rgs92 (review) to see others' impressions of the cables and power cords. | |
| Kubala-Sosna Power Cables I have auditioned and bought their Emotion power cords, replacing a variety of cords including some old Full Spectrum monsters, Siltech SPX-10 and TG SLVRs. I still am using K-Works "Dynamo" power cords (probably the best power cables I've had for... | |
| Best rca digital cable for Audio Logic 24MXL dac? Sutts: There is a bnc output on my unit, so it's possible to re-wire it to become an input, I'd guess. I'm sort of holding mine available to become a DSD interface if and when a standard is agreed on and I get an SACD transport with that digital i... | |
| Recomendations for a line stage only tube pre-amp If you like the tube sound, I'd suggest you try a used Jadis JPL. Forget the CD input with its additional tube and use the tape input for the best sound. Very dynamic (slightly better on macrodynamics than my JP80 was, though not microdynamics) an... | |
| CES Rumors I believe that Day Sequerra may have some very interesting new items, assuming they make the show. |
