| Most transparent amp you've heard? Listen to a handful of amps in the same system and you'll know. Until then, you won't know. | |
| Time to change. But to what? Peter Luger steak. Damn, I can taste it already... | |
| Most transparent amp you've heard? I meant transparency as used in the audiophile dictionary, meaning neutral. Transparent meaning nothing changes or colors the source signal.Wonder what the OP meant by transparency? | |
| Cary Audio SLP 05 PreampWhat tubes are you using? FWIW, there are a few tube preamps that will work with the Pass Labs. I own one: Lamm L2 Reference (actually solid state with tube power supply).The Modwright 36.5 has an output impedance that would work well. I've never heard one.I know the Atma-... | |
| Most transparent amp you've heard? Tube: Atma-Sphere MA-2Solid State: Pass Labs XA-30.5 or XA-60.5 | |
| Oyaide I wasn't criticizing your experiment. After all, you didn't use Oyaide wire. I was just mentioning what I learned during my research. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm.I've decided to try a pair of Oyaide Tunami cords on my amps. | |
| CD transport under $1000 Have you tried any transports into the DAC-in on your Denon? I'm curious how good that unit is as a DAC-only.Drubin (Threads | Answers)I've only used a Squeezebox into the APL's DAC. Sounds very, very good. I believe most of the bang-for-the-buck ... | |
| First name basis? I prefer "Pal", "Bub", or "Joey Kneecaps".But, it seems reasonable to search feedback to find a first name. Rather than addressing someone by their Audiogon mystery name.J.K. | |
| CD transport under $1000 I did see that, yes. A top loader isn't ideal in my set-up. | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . I'm one who doesn't hesitate to comment good or bad. It's not the best policy in many cases, which I'll readily admit. However, I believe sharing experiences, even those in which a component or tweak did not have a beneficial effect, is important ... | |
| Cary Audio SLP 05 PreampWhat tubes are you using? The OP. | |
| Time to change. But to what? Mimberman's description of his MS4 absolutely corresponds with what I have heard in a friend's system. The speakers are wonderfully resolving. Every small system change will be heard, which is a good thing, but it requires extreme care when matchi... | |
| CD transport under $1000 Thanks, Jeffcott. I'll look into a CEC.I have a computer source. Not interested in it for reference listening.Sources I have been rolling around in my head are: Sony DVP7700ES, Doge 6, OPPO...Forgot to mention, ability to play burned CDs is a must. | |
| Oyaide Looking at the price of Oyaide Tunami bulk wire and Oyaide C-046 plugs, it seems the prefabricated Oyaide power cords (with C-046 plugs) are a better value. About the same price (if not less) than the cost of DIY Oyaide cords.Which model Oyaide pl... | |
