| Budget TV to Amp interconnects? You used to be able to get the Morrow Audio MA-1 for like $45 on sale. If you still can, I'd do that. | |
| Best Integrated, period. Seadogs,I'm a bit late to respond, but there's a very limited production run of shuguang 211b tubes which are very nice and preferable to the Nos ge to me. They're a bit hard to come by, but they're the 211 equivalent of the excellent 845b tubes. ... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers that work best with SS I think I've read the tekton speakers prefer high watt solid state, despite their high sensitivity ratings. | |
| dc10audio Berlin Destryed the Competition at RMAF Sneaky sabotage??? Blatantly shill for a competitor to create distrust? Ha, that's even cuter. | |
| dc10audio Berlin Destryed the Competition at RMAF ROFL! Again?!? This isn't helping your cause, brah. | |
| Zu DruidV's has anybody heard them? That will be great, Phil. I'm curious how things fall. The literature seems to imply the druid 5s might be finichy with placement and associated electronics, did you find this to be the case? | |
| Redgum Audio The sonofagum falls below the rgi35 in their product line and its pretty unfair to judge the company by it. I wouldnt call the rgi120enr bright, but I will freely admit to preferring the standard rgi120 with zu speakers. That said, I loaned my rgi... | |
| Von Schweikert VR 22 I owned the VR-33s and they were good, not great speakers. I have my doubts about the VR-22s. | |
| Redgum Audio I haven't heard solid state offerings from the brands you mention but did prefer them to a Plinius 8200 mkii I owned as well as some of the other units I listed above owned by friends.The Redgum gear is nice stuff--very musically pleasing.I did no... | |
| Redgum Audio I have owned the RGi35, RGi120 and RGi120 ENR integrateds and all have been fantastic solid state. I preferred them to the likes of Plinus, Pass, Alchemist and some other heavy hitters.There is a real rightness to them, especially with higher impe... | |
| Metrum Octave Mod and cable suggestion If Scott can't handle that I will see what I can do. I think Craig Sawyers took pictures of the mod on the original head case thread.In any event I got back from vacation in Chicago this evening and the dac is sounding nice. Quite ballsy now, I th... | |
| Cables that are more enhanced than Acoustic Zen I owned several AZ cables over the years and found them to be very good and quite enjoyable, but I've since moved on to Wywires which I prefer significantly. I'd suggest taking advantage of their risk free trial to see if you enjoy them as much as... | |
| Metrum Octave Mod and cable suggestion I'm out of town for the holidays, but wanted to quickly chime in that things were coming around in my system before I left.As with many changes to your rig some coaxing may be necessary to reaxhieve your desired balance. In my case I moved my amp ... | |
| Metrum Octave Mod and cable suggestion So far resolution was significantly improved as has stage width and seemingly bass impact/tightness. That said it does feel like it needs to do a little more relaxing and I'm hoping over the next hundred hours or so this transformer will mellow.I ... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Spirit,You can do better then Atmasphere IMO. I mated it to my Superflys which were a more favorable 16ohm, and despite wonderful transparency and great bass they were pretty lean and analytical. Follow Phil's suggestions and go big big bottle SET... |
