PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread
@bruce19 It doesn’t really matter whether it was a shill or an unauthorized promoter; they’ll be back after resolving the monetary issue. They’ll never let go of this moneymaking resource.That’s how that particular country usually operates. In an... 
PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread
That person is/was a shill, as simple as that. You might disagree, but that won’t change the obvious fact. The shills usually have to pay the owners of the platform they’re using, otherwise they’ll be banned or suspended. I’m pretty sure they’ll b... 
The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma
Get a preamp with a loudness feature like Accuphase, they call it “compensator.” I have one and it works great.  
Do you Know a Trusted Seller of Chinese Vacuum Tubes?
Vivatubes is a great seller, and their tubes are matched without charging more. They carry Psvane and Linlai stuff.

I did the update, and it went smoothly   
No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy?
No matter what, most people will buy their equipment based on reviews from sources like Stereophile or recommendations from authorized promoters in the hi-fi industry on audio forums. You may disagree, of course, but it’s a fact of life.  
Audio Mirror Tubadour V
@nwres You won’t be disappointed for sure!  
Audio Mirror Tubadour V
Guys, you need to get a Soviet 6c4p-ev rectifier in place of Chinese 6z4 (plug'n'play) and try to experiment with 5842 tubes (adapters needed). I did both, and I like the results. But Western Elecric 5842/417a tubes (in my case) are expensive, whi...

I also did the update, no problems so far.  
Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1
@roxy54, I deeply believe this is not the place to exercise freedom of speech, and having said that, I’m signing off before it gets out of control. Peace to everyone!

@soix, I ordered the AZ MC2 cable. Should be a good match with my other AZ stuff.

@pindac, post whatever you wish, it’s just irrelevant to this particular topic, since I’m long done with the DAC search.

Guys, please stay on topic, I already bought whatever I wanted a half a year ago, and don’t need recommendations. If you have something to say about this particular DAC, then go ahead, otherwise as far as I’m concerned this thread is closed. Thank...

What an unbelievable device, I must say. Now I’m using it with the Western Electric JW 5842 tubes (mil version of 417A). I can’t say they’re much better that the stock ones, but the sound now is different - bigger and more tubey. I also replaced t... 
Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs
I was in a similar situation when I got my Luxman cl-38uc preamp. My CDPs balanced output level is 3.2V, and Luxman’s input is 2.5V. I contacted both Luxman’s and CDPs representatives about the issue, they both told me it’s a bad idea. Then I call...
