V-Cap ODAM: What the Future Sounds Like

V-Cap ODAM: What the Future Sounds Like
I swapped the Odams in my 45 SET Wednesday (Thanks for the help Ciro). I knew I'd be in for a long break-in... Went through some pain with the Duelunds in my DAC. I wanted my "old" DAC back. Odams sounded pretty pretty good out the gate, with a wo...

Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less

Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp?
My neighbors own both the microzotl and the Sachs. We are able to A/B and often do. I can say with certainly both are wonderful sounding pre amps. The Sachs sounds bigger and exhibits more of a tube flavor but in the most natural way. The LTA offe...

Shock collars and mats huh.... penitentiary grade barbed wire? 
Child Damage Mitigation
Store the Maggie’s and get monitors with heavy stands for a next few years. Congrats on the little girl!  
Efficient, affordable speakers for SETs?
I’d say Omega loudspeakers. Super musical and love set amps!
