| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Well I am not so sure that any reviewer worth his salt would condemn a speaker off-axis. Might comment on off-axis response. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. I love it when Amir mentions Mr Hsu as being someone who is interested in learning. Learn from Amir? I have friends who have heard Mike's system and they were very impressed. If Amir had liked the system I would be very worried. I will say tha... | |
| 12au7 tube? Well these are called life tests and should be done on all tubes sold. Most likely they are not by many sellers, especially on ebay. Having said this, a very well respected tube seller advertises "new old stock in white boxes", which translated me... | |
| 12au7 tube? You speak as if these tubes are easy to counterfeit. Just look to construction and the acid etched codes. RCA black plates are fairly common. Mullards are among my least favorite 12AU7s as are the RCA clear tops. | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? Well I would completely ignore any discussion of anything audio related on ASR, just as an example. I never put much stock in reviewers or reviews. Perhaps a bit less these days than back in... Like you, b-dog, I can get any digital rig regardl... | |
| Did I Expect too much? Forgot to mention that I really like the expensive Cardas posts simply because of function. I really dont know if they sound better. | |
| Did I Expect too much? Excellent points. I believe it was Ken at CAT that uses cheaper resistors because he believes they sound better. | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? So your concern is economic rather than social. The operative word is not need, but rather want. | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? My most expensive component are my amps at $ 19K. In my mind the obscenity of a $ 19K purchase is little different than that of a $ 250K purchase. Key to this is that I set these limits for myself and not others. | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? audio-b-dog see a bit of logical problem with your way of thinking? What type of scoundrel spends 18K on speakers? So I guess 20K for a pair is right out of the question. You draw the line and let us know. And then daveyf comes in and gives him ... | |
| Did I Expect too much? Leave it to jasonbourne to surprise us all with a totally unique response. Those who have enjoy those who dont complain. Damn high-end audio lobby. | |
| Mike's Barn. Well if one is good, two are better. I really like the CS Port. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Well it may not be intentional but necessary given the drivers used and crossover design. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Would the ASR folks say if you cant measure the difference between the flutes there is no difference? Hard to think like these folks. | |
| Suggestions for Preamp Tubes My favorite 6DJ8 has always been the Amperex early to mid 1960s production. Still reasonably priced. If you can get the tubes guaranteed to be noise and microphonics free. The tubes may not be to blame in regards to your system's bright quality. |
