| RIP Jimmy Buffett Saw Jimmy in San Diego in May. We knew he had health issues, but his voice was strong, he looked great, and he played for almost 2.5 hours. He gave it his all to the very end. After the last song he said he was taking a break to go sailing and tha... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui In his review of the Mojo Audio Mystique X SE, Herb Reichert did a nice comparison of a few of the dac manufacturers mentioned in this thread - dCS, Holo Audio, Denafrips. I would suggest looking up his review, if you have not already, for a good ... | |
| CD Transport with XLR Out Perhaps this one from Pro-Ject? $899 MSRP https://pro-jectusa.com/product/cd-box-ds2t/ | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT Thank you! @thaluza Nice system and venue. | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT Thank you Charles. Exquisite indeed! | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT Disc spinners that I own, in order of preference: Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T Esoteric UX-3pi Oppo UDP-205 Oppo UDP-203 Pioneer BDP-88f Oppo BDP-80 I compared all of these as transports, in the same system, same cables. | |
| Surge and Conditioning Excellent summary. Thank you. | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... I have Altec Valencias (Heathkit 101’s). I bought them because I was curious about the Altec sound. Short story, I love ’em! I alternate them in with my Von Schweikert db99 speakers. Interesting that the Franks have been brought up in this thread... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll To answer the OP, one of the main goals for my system was to reduce the heat in my room. I live in SoCal where temps average 85-95 degrees in the summertime, sometimes more, and electricity rates are high. I like to avoid using the air conditioner... | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? Supratek | |
| Preamp suggestion for Coincedent M300B Frankenstein mk2 I am a Frankenstein owner. I had the Coincident Statement Line Stage and currently use Horneshoppe The Truth T3. Both are superb with the Frankensteins. The Truth T3 is a no gain unit and works best with source components with output voltage of 1.... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version Good input by brownsfan. His personal experience is very valuable to the OP’s concerns. Regarding my Atma-Sphere amps, they are an older, non-upgraded version, so it should be no surprise that brownsfan has had a much more positive experience with... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version @charles1dad Between the two, I have a strong preference for the Frankensteins. I use the Franks 99.9% of the time, but it is fun to switch in another amp every once in awhile. | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version I have happily owned the Frankenstein MKII version for 6 years and had a brief experience with them hooked up to Victory II speakers. If I recall correctly, the VII’s were 97db and 10 ohms. I did not perceive any issues with this particular pairin... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter Tried 3 different transports into my Mojo Evo dac. Oppo (good), Pioneer (better), Esoteric (best). The differences are easily heard. The Esoteric with its VRDS transport is the winner by a wide margin. |
