Dude,
Get the Lightspeed thing and put the other $9,500 into your 401k or lap dances....

World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above?
Audiozen, now your recommending these "warm, lush, and laid-back tubes," as the sound you prefer. Sounds like your chasing your tail... |
Audiozen, your Post is very unfair. I know some very wealthy Audiophiles who can't sleep well when not spending 5k per week for audiophile components. Your Post will show the final solution to them and they will fall in a black hole when they don't know what to do next. Probably they get depressions or they will start talking with their wife about buying a new kitchen .... |
Jwm..I don't buy your opinion of the Playback Design MPS-5 player. It needs a minimum of 500 hours to break in. Why do you think some of the top disc players from Sony years ago had a very warm organic sound? Andreas Koch, thats why..the years he worked at Sony as their chief digital engineer resulted in designs he implemented which were used in their top players including the SACD technology he invented..The MPS-5 is the closest I have ever heard to vinyl..the player sounds identical to studio master tape. |
Hifitime..not chasing my tail at all..the system separates I describe in this thread all have a very natural warm organic character. For example, the Sanders Magtech amp, which is manufactured by CODA, is a co-effort design between Roger Sanders and Eric Lauchli who use to be the head design engineer at Threshold when he worked for Nelson Pass back in the eighties, then broke away and started CODA when Nelson left to start Pass Labs. The Magtech amp uses the Linear voltage regulator that is Sander's own design and the rest of the amp is Eric's doing. The linear voltage regulator is not used in Coda's house amps. |
