| Lab12 DAC1 Reference Problem @nainghsy , I only tried my CDP and internet radio via Bluesound, which has its own control app. So, can’t comment on that, sorry | |
| Accuphase Experiences I have their c2150 preamp. Marvelous price of equipment. Smooth and enjoyable. To my ears it bested Luxman’s 900u preamp, and many others. You can see its picture in my system’s page. | |
| Looking for integrated solid state amp for daily usage Gently used Audio Analogue Maestro Anniversary. Sounds incredible, smooth and inviting. You can get one for about $3500-$4000 (retail $10500). Made in Italy, will drive almost any speakers. | |
| JJ preamp tubes - repeated problems @glennewdick , perfect description of JJs. I’m absolutely with you, they sound pretty bad. | |
| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 Well, folks, I’m keeping this baby. All it needed was a proper break-in time. IMO,10 days of being on (night and day) is enough for the initial impression. As of now those excessive highs are gone, and even though it doesn’t sound exactly tubey a... | |
| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 @soix , thanks a lot, gotta talk to Vlad to see what he thinks. | |
| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 @soix , thanks. I’m now using friend’s Kimber D60, which sounds almost the same. When you mentioned AZ MC2 cables, did you mean RCA or XLR connections? Interestingly enough they’re both 110 Ohm design, should I ask for 75? I didn’t buy it from th... | |
| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 Ok guys, after 4 days of non-stop playing, now it sounds normal. Basically one week of non-stop playing does the trick. I used only my solid state stuff with it to see what the DAC has to offer. So, it sounds good, balanced, not exactly tubes, no ... | |
| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 @soix , I’m using Italian AirTech cables, made of solid core OCC wire. They’re very smooth. It sounds now considerably more calm. I still have a week or so to play with it, and I keep my fingers crossed ;) BTW, my digital cable is Nordost Silver S... | |
| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 So, folks, got the AMT V past Friday. Great service from Vlad. Honestly, gotta say I was really disappointed, because it’s so bright that triggers my tinnitus. After 3 days of listening, now it’s more or less listenable. Vlad offered to try AMT IV... | |
| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 I already ordered AMT V. We’ll see. | |
| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 @falconquest , my Electrocompaniet ecm1up CDP won’t play CDs via Lab12. Experiencing signal dropout all the time, and nobody knows why. Other sources worked just fine. | |
| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 Thanks. Is there a 6.1 version? | |
| Tube Rolling | Luxman CL-38uc @brubin where do you get Mullards for $25 and TFs for $80? | |
| Tube Rolling | Luxman CL-38uc I removed that horrid sounding 12au7 JJ tubes, and put Genalex Gold Lions instead. Much better sound. Very smooth. The only drawback is the cost. |
