| 300b lovers @tuckia08 EML 300b XLS - Pretty good. Not as nuanced as the best. Depth and width OK, but not the best. Good low end drive. Much better than everything listed above. Takatsuki - Excellent tube. Best bass drive. Good Detail. Depth and inner... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @pindac Thst was a very insightful comparison of the new TEAC 701 transport. I have no doubt that it has excellent sound quality. They have been at this for quite some time and clearly know what they are doing. @wharfy (David) it will be most i... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing Hi David, https://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/jackie-mclean-and-lee-morgan-the-dynamic-hardbop-duo/ I bought “Consequence “ probably 25 years ago. They’re good playing together. Charles | |
| Aric Audio @ozzy62 Sorry I have not received them. Charles | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing I would agree with your assessments of Vermeer and Sargent. You have a good eye! David, you are a kind gentleman .😊 Lee Morgan and Jackie McLean did some collaborations on the early 1960s “Blue Note”. However knowing you it’s likely you are p... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing David, I have returned to look at those pictures of art several times now. The Vermeer painting is more detailed, vivid and nuanced. The Singer Sargent is also appealing but more subtle and suggestive of mood perhaps. Hey, I’m no art critic for s... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing BTW-Art Blakey and his classic Jazz Messengers, with Lee Morgan and Sonny Rollins sounds fantastic through the CD6SE. Oh boy, I bet that it does. Of all the tremendous trumpeters who had stints with the Jazz Messengers, Lee Morgan may be my fav... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy Hi David, Thank you very much for taking the time to present your listening impressions. I was very curious about what your outcome would be. Your results did not surprise me. I had a strong suspicion that the ARC CD6 SE would fit beaut... | |
| 300b lovers @lynn_olson I’m really pleased about this. In an era of superb all-digital, all-solid-state 4K HDR video, tube amps continue to make new friends because they sound so good, on all types of music. Agreed!!! I believe that class D GaN amplif... | |
| 300b lovers @lynn_olson Thanks for the exceptionally educational and interesting posts. ! Very much appreciated. Your summation of the simplicity of the DHT tubes really explains their longevity, continued desirability and enduring superb sound quality. Tal... | |
| Aric Audio @scottya118 It is good to read that you are very happy with your new Aric Audio amplifier. You already have an excellent amplifier reference point via the Pass XA 30.8. What does the el84 single ended amplifier do that you consider an improvemen... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy Transport search update-Will be auditioning an Audio Research CD6SE this coming weekend Terrific! Looking forward to your listening evaluation thoughts. Charles | |
| Problem: Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport My RS2T is “dead silent “ since purchased in 2021. Pro-Ject is according to word of mouth reports in the midst of sorting out and correcting their operational flaws. Charles | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy Have you heard Jackie McLean, Nature Boy? Cedar Walton on piano. Billy Higgins on drums I have a fair amount of his recordings but not that one in particular. I will seek it out. Thanks as always for the tip. Charles | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy Given that your DAC is optimized for USB then it seems the Schitt URD could be just the ticket. It will be very interesting to learn what you think of it sonically. You have an established reference point per the RS2T. Charles |
