Jay’s Audio CD Transport @no_regrets I enjoy them both and as previously mentioned they are built like a tank. Unfortunately the CDT3 Mk3 is noticeably better but for the price it should be. With equal source material it still bests my Auralic Aries G2.2 streamer. Yo... | |
Jay’s Audio CD Transport @no_regrets I own both a CDT2 and a CDT3 both in black and the finish is first rate. | |
Holo May KTE Power Cord Triode Wire Labs Digital American II is what I use on the May KTE and all other DACs and streamers. Starting at $549 new for 5 feet. https://triodewirelabs.com/product/digital-american-2-series/ | |
TUBE PREAMP You need to make sure you don't have a gain mismatch based on the input sensitivity of your SS amp as the ET3 SE has a high gain of 25db. | |
Amp or Subwoofer causing Hum? Yes, if you want to connect the sub speaker level just connect a wire from one of the sub amps screws to the Rogue's phono ground lug. Simpler method is as suggested from the Rogues fixed outputs to the sub via SE cable pair. | |
Amp or Subwoofer causing Hum? If you are connecting an RSL subwoofer via it's speaker level inputs then the negative input terminal on the RSL is not a ground as it's a Class D amp. The way to resolve the hum is to connect a piece of wire from one of the screws on the amp to ... | |
Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used Music Reference RM-10 if you can find one. If not look for an EL-84 based amp. | |

LAIV Harmony Or he just decided he would get more clicks by posting a different opinion. | |
Eversolo DMP-A8 volume control Put the A8 on fixed output and control the volume with the Accuphase. | |
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile jc51373 If I remember correctly what he told me when he made the direct comparison late last year, he felt the tweeter integration was superior to the Abscisse and the bass was slightly less but not dramatically so. Perfectly understandable with ... | |
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile That seating distance should certainly work as it’s just a little under what using Jim Smith’s formula would get you and the 8’ will also be fine and depending on your room a little closer could turn out better or worse. The current equipment cert... | |
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile @jc51373 I wouldn't characterize the AMT tweeters in the models above the Cantabile as bright per se like I would the Be tweeters. They are very extended but without the hint of natural warmth the silk domes impart. This just requires careful ma... | |
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile Based on my experiences with six pairs of Reynaud speakers, currently Bliss Jubilee and Abscisse Jubilee, Reynaud's don't do "chubbier" bass at any level. They will do more with the Abscisse, Voce Grande and the two Orfeo versions but it it still ... | |
Revelation audio labs I ordered two Supratek umbilical cables from Brad roughly two years apart. Both cables were delivered to me inside of ten days. Never a problem with delivery or communication in my dealings with Brad. |
