| Clearaudio Double Matrix vs. Audio Desk Pro X @rauliruegas thank you and I saw that thread before posting, but has no information on how the 2 machines compare. | |
| Amplifiers from the big [expensive] brands in Japan? In my ears the best Japanese amps are the Kondo, circa 1987-2000. I have had AKAI, Nakamichi, Pioneer, Technics.. My Kondos are impressive the have that impressive texture even when I compare them with my nhb468. The nhb468s have an advantage whe... | |
| Why this forum deletes full threads ? + @pesky_wabbit if that‘s your view of the world so be it, I guess everything is just hunky dory, being black and white There are so few black and white... but Bits in the binary system come to mind..😀 | |
| Analog challenged by room, space and esthetics. @erik_squires we connected his to my subs and spent some time measuring. The 2x4HD and the Flex made a difference, but at the expense of openness, dynamics and precision(?). I am sorry English is not my strong language. @jtcf I agree but the livi... | |
| Analog challenged by room, space and esthetics. @tablejockey thanks, my father loves music, and he game an tube amplifier to restore the I was 9, if I remember correctly. I am autistic and that project helped my father to have something to do with me and gave me something to do. All my life I h... | |
| Analog challenged by room, space and esthetics. @erik_squires I Listened the MiniDsp 2x4 and the Flex, and to my ears was too restricted, and definitely rather go without it that using them. I was hoping for something more transparent than either one. I don’t want to add more sound treatment... | |
| Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos? I second the VPI tonearm horrible characteristics. Don’t waste your time and money with VPI unipivot, not worth the fishing line that uses for anti skating. I love the Umami, specially at its price. | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? I had d’Agostinos, and loved them in one of my rooms, but I also had NH458, which I upgraded to NH468, while I waited I was loaned a NHB108, in a month I gave my d’Agostino to the dealer, kept the NHB108 and the NH468. One does not have to spend ... | |
| Burn in period Burn in claimed time in hrs = return policy in hrs ^ 2 + ( warranty * 3/7) 😂 | |
| which turntable for the future? Do yourself a favor and listen to any VPI, then to any, in the same price range, TechDas, Acoustic Signature, SME, Bergmann, Feickert, Clearaudio, or … it will be very easy to get a quick answer. VPI is not remotely close to any of these brands.... | |
| 6H30 replacement @pesky_wabbit I am trying :) with Pathos. Hopefully they will give them up. | |
| Kondo Ongaku needing advise Solid copper… it is a piece of art, both sonically and construction. my 1990 is in perfect condition, it gets polished with a copper polisher and protector. Get it repaired, $6500 maintenance for a $100k amp is nothing. | |
| Kondo Overture PM2i - buzzing noise from transformer Call Audio Note. In my 1990 OnGaku, which I play a lot, last year slight hum started and I ended having to replace the transformer , I am glad I had a couple original. You are lucky you can, and should, call Audio Note. | |
| Integrated tube amp vs Tube amp? What is your budget? There are a lot of options… | |
| 6H30 replacement Pathos will not give me any technical information, beyond saying that the amp is designed for the 6H30. 6n6p specs look similar to the uneducated eye. @mulveling What do you think about 6n6p as a direct replacement for the 6H30? I have been ... |
