| Schiit Freya+ tube socket saver removal This may be helpful: https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=188096.20 In the article the guy used an "L Pick". | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... First, thanks to everyone for keeping this discussion civil and keeping the flame throwers at bay. The purpose of this post was to communicate my experience with a direct mic to track example. I commonly hear people say that they want their sy... | |
| Service recommendation in Denver I believe The Music Room in Erie are McIntosh gear heads so you may want to contact them to see if they can help. | |
| Temporary Down Sizing - Integrated Amp Recommendations It seems like the Technics SU-G700M2 Grand Class would fit the bill. Beautiful looking (with meters!) and sounding. | |
| Preamp shootout: Linear tube audio, Modwright, etc. If you want to wander off the beaten path slightly, I suggest you take a look at the LKV Research Line One pre-amp. It is a solid state differential balanced preamp, no remote, separate power supply, and to my ears better than the LTA microZOTL p... | |
| Amplifier for Cornwall IV You may want to investigate the Valvet E3 (or the previous version E2SE) Class A single ended transistor amp. It drives my 94db Fleetwood Deville speakers louder than is ever needed in a very large space. More importantly it is a beautiful sound... | |
| Fleetwood Sound Deville amp recommendations? I use the Valvet E2se amp (with LTA preamp) with great success. I understand that Jose at Dr. Vinyl feels the McGary SA-1 is the amp of choice for the Deville's. Also, suggest you investigate the Kirmuss Adrenaline speaker cable. Something abou... | |
| Review on AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier Agree with @smodtactical, a direct comparison with the LTA preamp would of been helpful, since it was(is) your tube reference. For somebody looking at the LTA preamp to purchase, your review was lacking in any real help in evaluating preamps. | |
| R2R Ladder DACs or All in One Streamer Solutions You may want to consider the new Modwright modification of the Cambridge CXN v2 digital swiss army knife. Under the Modwright forum there is discussion on this unit and the after market tube modification.... | |
| Oppo 95: Low Output via Stereo RCAs ....I am sure you checked to make sure the volume on the Oppo is at 100. A few times on my 205 I had the volume on the Oppo turned down because I was driving my amp directly. When mated with a pre-amp or integrated the volume was super low becau... | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. Take a serious look at the JERN14 speakers, in particular the JERN14 EH. They require a sub or two but they are amazing. I have owned a lot of speakers and these little cast iron beauties are just incredible. Do a search and check out the revie... | |
| Leben CS600 or ARC VSi60 with Harbeth Compact 7's Airegin,Would you be able to articulate the sonic differences between the NCSE and the CS300? I am trying to decide myself between the LFD NCSE and the Leben CS600 for my Compact 7ES-3 speakers. Hopefully this would be instructive for all (as I am... | |
| Speaker cables for Harbeth monitors I have the Compact 7ES-3 speakers and I found the Crimson Electronics speaker (and interconnect) cable to be a fantastic cable -- plus it is pretty inexpensive. See the Austin Hi-Fi website. If you can live with the blue cables they are great. I p... | |
| Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Perfect Wave? I agree with Lev, the PWT/PWD combo is quite good -- in my system it replaced the EMM Labs CDSA SE player. Based on my dealer's recomendation, I am using the Harmonic Technology I2S copper cable to connect the two boxes. I am not sure it is even o... | |
| Any experience with the Aspen Soraya Amplifier? Amfibus,I have corresponded with Hugh and he seems like a great guy and builds a good product. No question about that. The intent of this post is to try to understand how the Soraya compares to its US competitors. At the current conversion rate th... |
