| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @no_regrets Don, really nice system . Enjoy the Mojo and Jay's. If you want to try the AES/EBU connection PM me over on WhatBestForum I have a Mojo AES/EBU cable that I'd be happy to send/give you if you like . WBF PM allows "freer" flow of con... | |
| 6SN7GT VT231 TUBES Tung Sol did make VT231s | |
| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp What preamp did you purchased? Maybe consider getting the lower gain NOS 5751 , they are more expensive than your under $100 price point, but it might be worth giving Brent Jessee a call he does have GE 5751 premium at $110 a pair , or GE 5751 gre... | |
| Physical degradation of CD's Never falls, someone asks a question about CDs and someone else just has to interject streaming into the conversation. | |
| WILLSENTON R35i Integrated Amp : A Standby question Just run the amp without using the remote and keep the remote out of the room, if the red light doesn't appear than you know it's the remote at issue | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 "Interesting that you were able to change the sound of the Aero with different tubes.I believe Michael Lavorgna at Twittering Machines was planning to post a Part 2 to his Aero review after trying some tube rolling." I'd find it intere... | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread @chrispua you aren't going to get a response as noted on prior page the Op has been suspended by Audiogon | |
| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) @nonoise Interesting your experience with ZeroSurge I have one in each of my 2 audio systems as well as one with my main TV and there's no etch or restraints on sound etc. | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC @no_regrets - I can'y give you the whys and wherefores as to why transports may have optimized outputs but for instance my SimAudio 260DT is optimized for AES/EBU. I got that 1st hand from SimAudio. I also read that for instance the top of the lin... | |
| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) Correct me if I am wrong but aren't Tripp Lite MOV based suppressors> If so they aren't optimal for protecting audio equipment and going for non-sacrificial suppressors such as ZeroSurge, Brickwall and SurgeX are preferable. | |
| Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else) @whart +1 on ZeroSurge. Similarly Brickwall or SurgeX @zlone You're correct even if you have whole home surge protection (I do) the electricians still advise other surge protection at the equipment. I've had lightning strikes powerful enoug... | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC @glennewdick No question that the DAC is more important however if you have had a decent transport and then swapped in a better transport the impact is quite noticeable and shouldn’t be discounted | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC @no_regrets I think your questions on the transport were essentially answered in your 2 transport threads. That said, a quality DAC requires a transport that is on par quality wise otherwise you will not get the full SQ that the DAC can deliver. A... | |
| Stack Audio - Anyone knows them? @knockknock12 - Link below will lead you to the Stack Audio threads already on Audiogon. That said I use the Auva 100 speaker isolators, and have a set of the EQ system isolators and have found the SQ benefits well worth the relativel modest pr... | |
