| tube damper help Hi Rtn1,fantastic system!!! how did the EAT tube dampers work out? i use one on the 7308 tube i put in my Zanden DAC...stunningly good results. The Zanden normally takes a JAN phillips which is surprisingly musical given its cost relative to more ... | |
| Amps for Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage Hi 0461.I owned STrads for a number of years, but i have not heard them with Jadis...however, i have heard the Strads with a number of different tube amps (2 CJs, ARC Ref, Pathos, Unico) and have not been disappointed once. Based on my experience,... | |
| Kondo, Zanden, CJ, Ref 5? Pre w/ Pure Tonal Color? Andromedaaudio,Nice system! Thanks for your advice, and that makes a lot of sense given how much i like my Zanden DAC. Aside from good potential for synergies, i have heard very good things about the Zanden 3000 on a standalone basis. That also ma... | |
| Kondo, Zanden, CJ, Ref 5? Pre w/ Pure Tonal Color? Dmailer,thank you. that seems to be a very big focus for me at the moment. i have contacted Matthew at Pitch Perfect in San Francisco.

| Kondo, Zanden, CJ, Ref 5? Pre w/ Pure Tonal Color? Hi Mihalis,Great to hear from you. We should catch up on business via separate email. i'll send you my work details. I will look hard for PRT1...yours is the one that has made me think hardest about Wavac. I think your quest for transparency, soun... | |

| Review: Wilson Audio Grand Slamm Speaker Update: after just under 100 hours of listening, the speakers actually seem to be breaking in! Partly, this is because 2 drivers had their foam surrounds replaced...partly could it be that the original owner really did not spend that much time lis... | |

Niels is quite helpful in service and quite responsive. They sell their own powercords, but i have found they respond quite well to PAD. hope ... | |
| recommendation for power cables for Gryphon amp Kops,interesting...i have heard the same. i know someone who has a killer system and has switched to an entire loom of Jorma. The question is...aren't they more than USD $1,000 per cable? Perhaps s/hand they are under $1000, not sure.Lloyd | |
| Power cords and turntable power supplies Hi Babybear,The PAD Ann Contego is most remarkable (in my own opinion) for its super-black background and richness of sound. almost a rich black if you will. It makes sound come thru as music. The Robusto's primary 'character' if i could call it t... | |

My entire PC loom is PAD Dominus/Anniversary Contego...except that the l... |
