| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I might have missed it WC, but what power cord do you have on the ref10? If it's not a platinum 7 or 8, then that might be something to try as well.Dave | |
| Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle? For me, my decision to purchase the blue outlet was not based upon the claims of Synergistic Research or science either. That’s me - I’m not all about measurements, etc. I tend to look for commonalities in user reviews. When I finally purchase som... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I think I saw on the MF website that only fifty of those Titans would ever be made. Congrats on having one of the fifty WC!Dave | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Something for WC to try, if he has not already...I’m guessing that when the Ref10 is in the chain, balanced cables are used to connect to the amps - is that true? If so, then I’m also guessing that single-ended cables are used from Lampi to amps, ... | |
| Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle? @wolf_garciaThat’s funny - amazing break in times :-)Dave | |
| Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle? @elizabeth I completely agree. I wish I didn’t believe in break in and/or could not tell the difference. It sometimes goes through many changes - better, worse, then better again, etc. I wish it was placebo. It’s easy to blame it on placebo when o... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @viber6I believe that WC had the XS150 for a while, so he probably does have an idea of what to expect with the XS300. I think though that I remember him mentioning that the XS150 was super hot, even at idle. I would think that would steer him a... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Does the lampizator pacific need to break in, or is it a used item that already has many hours on it? Even if used, it may need a few days up to a week to settle in. Anyway, just curious.Dave | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @ricred1You used the word "everyone", and I would disagree with that. Especially since I also agree that it has to do with how the components compare in the system/room as a whole. It's not an absolute - just because it's better in one system/ro... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Honestly, I'm excited, and it's not even a component (DAC) that I'm interested in for my system. Looking forward to WC's thoughts.Dave | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @viber6It depends upon a person's perspective and preferences. The pluses/minuses might be tolerable and not "horrible" to some folks, and thus appreciated. For others, it might be "horrible" or at least - not liked as much, and a little sweetn... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @tjassocYou bet - lots of folks will feel the way you do. Your subjective preferences for the type of sound you like become the objective sound you want to get out of your system.I can see both sides. My dealer years ago had YBA CD players, as wel... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @viber6So, going with the items you've mentioned about different violins and rosin on the bow, then, in order to determine accuracy of a violin recording on a sound system, one would almost need to know these factors about the violin/rosin, etc us... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Thanks for sharing that grey9hound. I agree with viber6 that I don't want an overly cavernous soundstage that is not real. And, I agree that tubes aren't necessarily rolled off - depending upon how something is designed of course. The most real... | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables I've never had either Kimber or Audio Art, so I'm not much help. I will say that Bob is absolutely wonderful to work with, and you can't go wrong with trying out the Matrix XLR's . Dave |
