Greetings & Happy New Year to all.I received my Yaqin tube buffer along with a JJ Tesla 6922 from Pacific Valve & ECE.Co.today & have spent the last 7 hours in an absolute musical orgy!Set it up in my modest home theater system consisting of a Sherwood Newcastle R-771 surround receiver,Marantz DV-7001 & Aura Sound Baby Grand sub/sat speaker system,cabled it with Audioquest Diamondback I/C's & let her rip!The biggest dividends received:1-REAL soundstaging with an honest viewpoint of the recording venue as well as actual seperation of instruments & musicians.2-Vocals have lost thier steely edge & gained richness & weight.3-Amazing ability to hear subtle sounds NEVER heard before in recordings I have listened to a hundred times.BEST DAMN $200.00 I EVER SPENT ON MY SYSTEM!
Anyone try this Yanqin tube buffer?
A friend recently got a Yaqin tube buffer with a few different tubes (JJ Tesla E88CC & Jan Phillips 6922). We hooked it up to his Denon stereo setup (receiver and CD player) and did a bunch of A/B comparisons with the tube on and off and roiled the different tubes. I brought over a few Cd's including John Forgerty's latest "revival" and a cool bluegrass band Steeldrivers. Anyway, for anyone with a SS digital system. You know the standard player & receiver type setup. This is with out a doubt the best money spent to upgrade to a "tube type sound"!! He got his for $100. I found the same thing online for $175 and ordered one only to find out they are back ordered for 2 to 3 weeks. http://www.pacificvalve.us/YaqinTB.html
I got to wrap this up but, basically you can put this in-line between your source and your amp/receiver and have the best of both worlds. The fast accurate detailed modern sound and the silky smooth dynamic sound of old all in one!!! No b.s. it's that good!! Latter.
