| Question for Weiss 501 Owners I've been using an Antipodes S-series server/renderer/reclocker stack with S60 power supply for the past few years into a few good DACs, and finally landed a Weiss 501 mk II DAC a couple of months ago and connected it right up to the Antipodes sta... | |
| D to A Converters Hi vermontstephen - I've been using a Steinberg UR22mkII for A to D conversion and Steinberg Wavelab Elements to record and process the tracks. The combo works great for me. I have a substantial collection of 78 rpms and a handful of LPs that aren... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Love to hear you're pleased with the outcome so far! Your experience is very similar to mine when first putting the two together - an immediate sense of greater fullness with a super smooth top end. On the topic of volume pot positioning - mine a... | |
| Transparent Audio XLR question for those who use their XLR interconnects For what it's worth, I went from good quality single-ended interconnects (e.g., Audience Au24 SX) to balanced (i.e., XLR) Transparent interconnects over the past couple of years and haven't looked back for a moment. Whereas you've gone to Gen 6 S... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? Hasmarto raises a good point - I had swapped out the original JJs with Genalex Gold Lions for all of the tubes and that's what I've been running since. I can't offer an opinion on any difference between the two tube sets as it was a few years ago ... | |
| Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp? I recently paired up my Luxman CL-38u and Mark Levinson 23.5 in my 2nd system, and was immediately taken by the great match they make with my Proac Response 2.5 speakers. I have no experience of any kind with Wilson Watt Puppies, but I can say I'... | |
| Help With Buzzing Sound Congratulations on the fix - great to hear (no pun intended)! | |
| Help With Buzzing Sound First, of course, try to rule out any issues with the amp itself, but here's my similar story: A few years ago I spent an inordinate amount of time chasing down a buzz from a single of my two monoblocks, and ultimately fixed (i.e., completely eli... | |
| What front end piece should I upgrade? I recently purchased a SIM Audio Moon 390D DAC and am very pleased with its characteristics. I raise the point as it sounds like you’re looking for improved lower frequency range and that’s exactly what I experienced with this DAC - a boost in low... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile I forgot what amp I was using, but it as a pair of Proac Studio 1 monitors I picked up that really did it for me. I fed them with an average turntable and McIntosh C20 preamp, which prior to that I had not been able to fully appreciate. I was in m... | |

| The new Denon turntable, DP-3000NE. Any owners out there???? I'm another very pleased owner as of the last year or so. Nothing but good experience with it, and I do actually make use of the 78rpm speed option as well. Very solid build. | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay +1 @fsonicsmith For your pricepoint, you might take a listen to a Mark Levinson 360S. Yes - quite old, but in my experience very nicely carries forward the air, decay, and details already in the program material... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Dead and Co at the Sphere in Vegas on 10-Aug. It was their last show of their residence there and it was an amazing event - highly recommended venue! | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. I used to run a BAT VK55SE amp and loved the sound, but couldn't bear the high temps in the summer. I picked up a pair of Atmasphere Class D monoblocks prior to last summer and haven't looked back. Much as it bothers me, I never put the BAT back i... |
