| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! The real question is why does your dealer doesn’t want to let you borrow a single 15 A Shunyata Sigma to try on your dac...a top tier customer like you.First logical answer to that question is...to be able to sell to a very deep pocket customer a... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Shunyata Sigma NR failed WC, because he had a crappy powercord on the dac while doing his tests. Bottlenecked big time by the first piece in the chain. Odin does wonders now , because it is plugged on the dac where everything starts. Please WC, ju... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Sure , the Odin is very good. But you did not compare it directly to the Sigma NR on the dac because he NR you brought back from the shop are 20 amp IEC. You sre comparing ODin to WW on the dac, sure the WW will get spanked big time and your jaw w... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I believe WC is experiencing his first top tier powercord ON HIS DAC. This is where they make the biggest difference, at the top of the system chain. Yes, he can achieve that same performance ( on the dac) for less money. I already suggested a Shu... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Shunyata for power cables. Nordost for speaker cables. This is the rule, my rule, and pretty sure it rules... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! A very good powercord. But Sigma NR is supposed to be much better. A guy on whats best has compared them , and he came to that obvious conclusion. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I used cotton q-tips. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! A little off topic.I just finished cleaning all contacts of my system with 99% isopropyl alcool. A collegue strongly recommended doing it.Hell, yes it does make a difference. I have gained clarity. Very recommended !! Don’t hesitate guys. Easy no ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Shadorne, My speakers are on the very polite side, and the Mac preamp is a bit dark and warm ( Mac house sound) So my speakers benefit from the treble tone control. That being said, if I had Focal or B&W speakers ( wich are a bit tilt up in th... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Great WC. Bold and forward is pretty much how Sabre 9018 chip is known to be. I agree with your description, I also thought the same when I compared it to my 8k dac, the dedicated dac was smoother up top...almost truncated....I think it was the ds... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Nice review WC. The vocals have less pop because you have to boost the treble , as Mac preamps are tuned to the darker side. I have to put around +5 to +7 treble depending of the music playing on my C47. Then the vocals and highs are waiking up. A... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC and Viber, amen to your words. Now lets get back to buisness and plug that Mac C2600. May it compete or plainly suck, I’ m freaking curious to learn about it ! 😁 | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @maguiar,I own Verity Rienzi speakers , and drive them with a Luxman M900u. Superb results , no doubt.The Otellos are supposed to be even better ! With the flagship Lux, you can go up the Verity line up to the Sarastro IIs. You won’t be limited by... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, have you listened to the C2600 driving the Block Audio yet ?In my setup, the only thing my 8k dac was better at than the inboard dac inside the pre was...bass. More bass and goes lower with the dedicated dac. Aside from bass, I believe the mid... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! That is a cool acquisition in the C2600. Mine is the solid state C47, the 2600 is said to be warmer and more euphonic.. That beeing said , the built in dac is what surprised me the most. It made me sell my 8k dedicated dac, and simplified my syste... |
