Member Almarg passed away last night
I have been taking a break from audio and this site for over a year now and today I log on and see this. Just when I thought this year couldn’t get any worse we lose one of the truest and finest of gentleman. Rest In Peace Al, you will truly be mi... 
Yanni or Laurel?
jond, the slider is really cool.As I moved from center to the right toward Yanni the word morphed into something else. Two lines to the right of center I here Lori, three lines to the right of center I hear Yanni and all the way to the right on th... 
Lampizator evolution
I'm currently using a Lampi Atlantic Plus with tube rectification, super clocks and volume control. Very musical and the best dac I have heard to date. The best part is I don't need to spend money on a pre amp which is a real bonus to me. I haven'... 
Crown XLS 1502.... real life test.
captbeaver, I'm currently running my pair of Aerial 7Bs in a surround sound system with the Crown XLS1500. The 7Bs really like the grunt this amp has and they are what I consider a good match. I never had my 7Bs really open up until I put the crow... 
Crown XLS 1502.... real life test.
I have 2 of the XLS1500s which are of course the model before these. I thought they sounded good when I first bought them. But after having them for awhile I started to notice how tipped up they are in all freq. If you listen to vocals that you ar... 
Bad Hum/Buzz on Joule Electra VZN 100??
I would call Signature Sound, they do all of the service now since Judd Barber retired. Maybe they would give some ideas what to check and if needed they can repair the unit for you.Very nice amps by the way!Good Luck, Greg 
Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range?
"I opened a thread about Museatex Bitstream being the best DAC I have heard. So, although most of you will find it odd that I am recommending a 25-year old DAC, I can say that you have to try it before you say anything. I can’t believe how musical... 
Help in selecting 1 of 3 amplifiers
Didn't someone say they had 3 of them and they all had issues? Now your going to buy a refurb. unit? Sounds like a bad idea to me but maybe they fixed the problem and you'll be O.K. Hope it works out for you... 
Specific Pre-Amp advice
I did hear the Don Sachs SP14 pre in my system mentioned earlier in this thread and it is the most open sounding pre I have ever heard. I would go to Don’s web site and also Audio Circle and read all of the reviews. He custom builds them for you a... 
I need a good Preamp
jmacs7 has the right idea, I heard the Sachs SP14 pre in my system and the clarity is really something I have not heard before. Also, read the reviews and you will see I'm not the only one who hears this openness and transparency from top to botto... 
Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression?
inna, I own the Joule Electra 150MKII SE. The one piece of gear I just can't let go. Everything else in my system has changed but I just love the sound of this pre. Plus Jud is a super guy and I wish him all the best in his retirement. Rich, did y... 
Power Supply for a music PC
The person that Ctsooner mentions is Alex with Uptone audio. They have a PS that is getting some great reviews. Look up PS-2 or Uptone audio, he hangs out on Computer Audiophile and has a thread going. 
Seattle, WA
I wanted to bring this thread up again as I'm curious if this society is still active in Seattle, I posted here in January of 2013 without a response. I'm currently building a dedicated house 20'x30' as a listening room. Thank you,Greg 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
I personally have only had 1 piece of equipment that I heard break in. Oddly enough it was a Roland Capri. I don't know how many hours it had on it but it was almost new. I had it about a month and pretty much hated it from the beginning. Then one... 
Modding PS Audio Digital Link III
I have one with a level 3 mod, the only difference from the level 4 mod is that it doesn't have xlr outputs. It is sitting in it's box if you have any interest. gregfisk at a o l . c o m
