| Dynaudio Confidence II and Signature - Differences I was of the understanding that the drivers are different and the signatures carry a longer warranty period. Are you moving away from your Harbeth SHL 5's? | |
| Cary SLP 03 I also bought an 05 after auditioning an 03. The 03 wasn't offensive, just wasn't impressive though. I wouldn't call the 05 a lush preamp either. | |
| Piano Notes On Harbeth SHL 5 HiThanks for the replies so far.The recording is of the Keith Jarrett Trio on "Up For It" - Live in Juan-les-Pins. I looked at the liner notes to see what piano it was ;) - they sometimes say but not the case here. They did mention that there was ... | |
| Replacing The Stock EH 6SN7 Tubes For Cary SLP 05 HiJust an update.I have tried using the RCA 6SN7 GT Grey Glass in the balanced input buffer positions with a quad of the stock EH in the positive and negative, left and right gain positions. This made the treble warmer and filled out the midrange ... | |
| Replacing The Stock EH 6SN7 Tubes For Cary SLP 05 Thanks Rodman,Do I stick to the +/- 5% tolerance level in tube strength test levels for tubes that are manufactured around the same period? In other words, if I follow this, can I purchase loose tubes and then match them and adjust for imbalances ... | |
| Replacing The Stock EH 6SN7 Tubes For Cary SLP 05 Thanks for all the feedback so far.Do preamp tubes need to be matched pairs? I keep getting conflicting opinions on this. Cary says yes but many others say only power tubes need matching. | |
| Replacing The Stock EH 6SN7 Tubes For Cary SLP 05 Thanks for the replies. The post truncated before I cpould write my shortlist which is as follows.After reading numerous online guides (including the reference one on Head Fi) I have a shortlist as follows (with my read impressions in brackets):1.... | |
| Dyn Contour S3.4 vs. SF Cremona M or VA The Kiss Thanks for the feedback.I agree with the overblown lows on the Dyn Contour S3.4. It has very punchy and low bass especially when driven by Krells. I find the mid range to be a smidgen warm over neutral but it is the treble I find neutral especiall... | |
| Dyn Contour S3.4 vs. SF Cremona M or VA The Kiss Bump - up for some comments please.. | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I have yet to hear a solid state pre that sounds like tubes. I have tested the Jeff Rowland Capri in my solid state system and I was also going down a similar path as you are now. It is a great pre - I... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 36 DAC & High Resolution Files Yes, Rockitman that's true. i've heard of the reputation for expensive repairs. The local agents out here charge rip off pricing. | |
| Mark Levinson No. 36 DAC & High Resolution Files Tmsorosk,All the DACs you mention are not mid fi to me - they sound pretty high end.I'm quite surprised they didn't perform as warm as the ML 360 after all they are not DAC's people use for computer audio alone and would fit into any respectable f... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 36 DAC & High Resolution Files OK thanks. The 36 only goes up to 20/48. I guess the 360 is quite future proof given its vintage considering most Hi Res files are 24/96.Which ones did you try?I will try to audition the PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC.I also read about the new Musical ... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 36 DAC & High Resolution Files Is there any DAC capable of higher bit rates so I can play files of 24/96 and higher resolution you would recommend that has a similar analogue sound of the Mark Levinson? | |
| Mark Levinson No. 36 DAC & High Resolution Files Hi TimI was thinking of getting the Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2 otherwise. Was that one of the DAC's you tried? |
