| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? I just got the LHY OCK-2 yesterday. I am using it with the R26 with the Sine wave output and 50 ohm cable and with the EtherREGEN with the Square wave output and a 75 ohm cable. It is still early but I am blown away by what a significant differe... | |
| Pro-ject vs Rega I put an AT-ART9XI cartridge on my P6 replacing the Ania MC and it was a big upgrade. I didn't shim the tonearm to adjust for VTA. | |
| Tekton speaker comparison thread @smodtactical All of the Magnepan speakers I have owned have had more micro detail than my Moabs. | |
| Denafrips Pontus II 12th VS Gustard R 26 I bought the Pontus II and the Gustard X26 16 months ago. After going back and forth for nearly three months I decided to keep the X26 and sell the Pontus II. I preferred the better soundstage and sense of space the X26 offered vs a somewhat ric... | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? I am interested and could bring the Peachtree GaN 400 if the event is held in Seattle area. | |
| Second MC Cartridge Choice.....Tokyo @rwanda I have an AT-ART9XI in my Rega P6 and a Skyanalog G-2 in my Technics SL 1210GR. The ART9XI is exceptionally transparent. It really doesn't color the music much at all. Dynamics, presence, clarity and magic are all improved over streamin... | |
| The Mood Was Ruined @elliottbnewcombjr Can you explain how you use the magnifying mirror? If you rest the stylus on the mirror is it actually magnified and in focus or do you use it some other way? | |
| Hana ML teamed with Pro-Ject 1Xpression carbon classic and Rega Aria I’m in the process of trying a variety of cartridges with my Technics SL-1200GR. I own the 2M Black which I think has a very distinctive, bold, detailed sound. I don’t think it is colored but it is a lot like adding a big dose of vibrance and clar... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Has anybody used the GaN1 to drive Magnepan 1.7 or 3.7 speakers? I have the GaN 400 and didn't think it was a great match with the 3.7's, especially compared to PS Audio BHK 300 monoblocks. | |
| Thoughts on the Gustard X26 I have it and I have the Gustard R26. The R26 is better. | |
| Recommend A New DAC Between $1000 and $2000 The Gustard R26 is better than the Gustard X26 and for my tastes both are better than the Pontus II. | |
| The 300B World I have the Aric Audio Super 300B SET which is fantastic. I like the Western Electrics the best, followed by the Kron Balloons, and then the EML XLS. I've tried a variety of more mundane tubes but the three I mentioned are much better. I also h... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @blkwrxwgn I bought my SLP-05 used and it came with the stock EH tubes. Maybe they were worn out but I really disliked them. Actually thought about selling the SLP-05 until I changed them out. It has never been clear to me if you need to have a... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @blkwrxwgn I liked the LinLai E-6SN7's in my SLP-05 better than the Sylvania, Raytheon VT-231, Foton 1960's, or new production TungSol 6SN7's that I tried. The LinLai's don't color the music the way some of the other tubes do but still somehow ma... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @borisj the store name is Hi-end Tubeaudio Store. They have periodic sales. The quad currently is $298. |
