Wavelength Brick
Good to know, I am going to order one up...If nothing else I get piece of mind of knowing I set it all up properly. 
Wavelength Brick
Thanks for the information on the Socket battery pack...Ok, so let me get some clarification from you here...Specifically since you have so much experience with Wavelength products, and are now a Crimson owner. I am going to assume it is safe to s... 
Wavelength Brick
Thx Steve....I envy your Crimson, must just be amazing. Anway I am sold on the Opticis, but I need to know how people are powering them with batteries, and how long the battery lasts? 
Wavelength Brick
Ck, so my question to you on the Opticis is, do you feel it makes a difference in sound? Albe it small, or placebo, what are your thoughts on it? I got two new CD's, Cassandra Wilson (blue light till Dawn) and Sarah Vaughn (Jazz Profile) and they ... 
Wavelength Brick
thx Jaunitox...Intersting, I will take it under advisement. I think the next thing I will look into a swapping out a tube or two to see what happens, just for the fun of it I guess. Although, this thing is sounding better and better and better. I ... 
Tube pre-amps $3500 under to add "warmth"
I have a brand new VTL 5.5 I just got a few weeks ago, was looking to accomplish the same thing you are. SS and tube can be a very nice mix if done correctly. I matched my VTl with a Krell 2250 and they hold hands nicely, very nicely. In fact the ...

CK, good news huh?! I am siked it all worked out, albeit expensive. I don't care though, I have been trying to get this sound for many years since I have been in hi-fi, and for the most part I have it now. With the convenience of a computer as a c... 
Wavelength Brick
WOW! I was completely wrong...I was running this on a Dell PC while I auditioned and until I got my MAC, which came today. I had been in contact with Gordon all the while, and he was very patient and helpful throughout. He seemed to feel pretty st... 
Wavelength Brick
Ck! Been listening to the Brick all weekend, so far NOT impressed at all. Sounds thin to me, exaggerates the high tones and voices and leave the bottom end sort of blank. The sound-stage is very shallow, leaving the instruments deep in a jazz perf... 
Audio Note DAC 5
I couldn't agree more...$50 or $30K for anything other than maybe a speaker is utterly foolish if you ask me. If had tons of money to burn I still would not spend this much on a DAC. Primarily because you don't need to;there are so many good DACS ... 
Wavelength Brick
Honestly, you have been incredibly helpful, and I really appreciate it. I can't say I won't have more questions, but for now I am one satisfied customer. : ) !Thanks again, and I will write again soon once I get the Brick to share some of my impre... 
Wavelength Brick
Thanks again...So you are saying the powersupply for the Opticis cable is just so-so? I will have to contact them directly if thats the case before I spend my money with them. Heres a question for you...If you set up a computer (of any sort) as yo... 
Wavelength Brick
Thanks alot once again, good info on the tubes...I found those Opticis USB cables, they have two versions though. One with a a copper conductor in them for the power supply? Is it safe to assume the reason for buying this USB is for the additional... 
Wavelength Brick
Hey thanks for the response!! Much appreciated and makes me feel much better about potentially buying one. Question for you. Since I am new to tubes, not sure what Tube Rolling means. Is that swapping out for a different tube? And the Opticis Cabl... 
VTL 6.5 vs VTL 7.5
Power supply is removed, thats about the main difference. But you should find out if there are any sonic differences from the VTL. My understanding is it is just the power supply being in it's own chassis, which is a big deal sonically speaking.
