| XLD is a must for accurate Mac rips I can't find a link to download this app that works. Do you have one? Thank you | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? The Pioneer speakers which have the same type of concentric drivers do not have the same richness of sound because they have aluminum and not berylium deposited on the drivers. This is what Andrew Jones told me. I have the good fortune to own a pa... | |
| VPI 16.5 clamp I purchased a clamp made out of aluminum from www.ttweights.com for my 16.5 that works very well and I am very pleased with it. | |
| Opinions on Esoteric clocks ...... I have a P5/D5 with a Gorb clock. The Gorb clock makes the sound more clear and focused without being bright at all. The improvement was worth the money for me. | |
| New V-Cap copper...any listen yet??? I am waiting for a set for my mono amps to replace the tin foil V-caps. I was told that you get a little warmer sound out of the copper foil. | |
| need help on transparent sounding 12au7 tubes You can't go wrong with RAM Labs Super Low Noise grade. These are very quiet and transparent and only 2% of tested tubes are graded Super Low Noise. The 12AU7 is difficult to find with low microphonics, especially with NOS tubes. I use Super Low N... | |
| Biasing a CAT JL2 Sign. Helo Hardbop, First of all, I assume you got matched octet power tubes. All of the CAT amps are easy to bias. I am very fortunate to own both the JL-2 Sig MK2 and the JL-3 Sig Mk2 monos. I have changed tubes on the JL-2 a couple of times. Just mak... | |
| Tube roll KT-90's have a little more power than KT-88's or 6550's. They might have a little (very little) tighter base, but do not have the richness in the midrange that the other tubes have, IMO. I have a pair of MFA-M200 mono amps and have rolled KT-88's ... | |
| Esoteric P-05/D-05...... AES digital cable? I use dual Kimber Orchid for the mono inputs. It sounds better than a single cable connection. I tried a single Stereovox digital cable at first, but the mono connetion is definitely better IMO. | |
| Will a new Preamp sovle my Problem? Hi, I don't believe your room acoustics are the problem. You should concider purifying the electrical current with a good line conditioner. I use a Audience AR6. I suspect the brightness is primarily from your CD player. Try a Shunyata power cable... | |
| New Audience Ultra High Resolution Adept Response Hi Dtanclim,I have a dealer friend that let me borrow an AR6 with the regular caps while I waited for the new unit with the teflon caps. Audience made him break it in for 500 hours before he was allowed to deliver it to me. What I noticed is that ... | |
| Esoteric's G-03x Master Clock Generator I purchased the G-ORb clock about a month ago to go with my Esoteric P5/D5. This clock makes a huge improvement in the clarity and musicality. This clock costs as much as the P5 and D5 and I am very pleased with it so for me it is worth the cost. ... | |
| Esoteric's G-03x Master Clock Generator The clock accuracy of the D-5 is +/- 3ppm, when the unit is new. The G-03x is 0.1ppm and that means that it is 30 times more accurate. I decided to get the G-0Rb (rubidium) which is accurate to 0.05 ppb which is about 2000 times more accurate than... | |
| Vinyl vs. digital: what am I doing wrong? You should talk to Brooks or Brian Berdan about your setup. I am sure they can help you find the problem. I think that any properly setup TT will sound better than any digital rigs out there. | |
| Nuforce 9V2SE with Dodd tube pre? I am not familiar with the Dodd preamp either. I use the Nuforce 9SEV2 with a CAT Ultimate Mk2 on Avalon Eidolons and it sounds very very good. In fact, this combination is better on the Eidolons than the CAT preamp and the CAT JL-2 amp on the Eid... |
