| Audiolab 9000cdt vs Audiolab 6000cdt vs Teac 505t Thanks, mariddock. I have one of the best. (Amazing the difference cables make!! I've also found that vibration dampeners make a huge difference.) Cheers! | |
| Audiolab 9000cdt vs Audiolab 6000cdt vs Teac 505t Thanks so much to both of you for sharing. I've contacted Audiolab to ask for a demo (nice that they offer one!). I'll post my impressions if the demo comes through, although I might just buy one from Crutchfield and send it back if it doesn't b... | |

| 5814 in a 12au7 socket. . . Thanks, steakster. I imagine that the small number of responses (you alone) would indicate that most people have NOT overloaded their power supply:-). Much appreciated feedback. | |
| 5814 tube for Audiomat Solfege Reference? Thanks, yogiboy. I have found several sites that state what you have posted, but I found one (very technically detailed) that said there needed to be "parallel filament circuits." I just heard from my tube expert/repair guy who said he thought the... | |
| Cables more hype than value? I have a very “clear” system that reveals subtle nuances, whatever they might be. The system itself cost around $25,000, and it took me about three years to piece it together. Which means I auditioned a lot of components, getting the chance to hea... | |
| Teresonic Clarison I have the Teresonic digital (RCA). It's so much better than anything else I heard; the full spectrum of sound it allowed in my system was almost miraculous. The bass/lower part of the spectrum was particularly revealed with this interconnect. I H... |
