| tube dac I totally agree with Steuspeed.You can can get all of the frequencies right including tight bass with different tube combinations.All of the brands sound different and it takes some time and patience to find the ones that shine in your particular ... | |
| Damping sheets work I had the same bad experience damping the top of my cdp.I wonder if the sheets would work better on the bottom.Anybody? | |
| tube dac Yes!I ventured into tubes first with a preamp, then added a cdp,and stuck with a ss amp.Adding another tubed component was a huge step towards the illusion of the "artists in the room." You'll have to audition that Havana and see if you agree.Good... | |
| Intermittent bass Just a guess,since I never had that problem.The first thing that comes to mind is a bad connection.Since you biwire,I would play some bass heavy music and wiggle the cable at the binding posts on your speakers.One of the posts may be bad,the cable... | |
| Help experienced audiophiles What Geoffkait said LOL! | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation Nope,they apparently don't have it any more.I was not aware it was in such short supply or I wouldn't have stuck my foot in my mouth like this:< I did "google" it out of curiosity and saw some 18 ga. for sale and a spool of 16 ga. on ebay.I hav... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation Excuse my misspelling Johnnyb53!I did purchase the Belkin in 2012,and they had a lot of it,various spools and shorter terminated pairs.Sorry Charlot for the bad info. | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation Get a spool of Belkin speaker cable from Partsconnextion.It's OHNOPCC copper with 18 different sized solid core strands individually insulated.It's the same stuff the high end cable companies use,it's dirt cheap and unbelievably good.Use it for a ... | |
| Experience with Monarchy Audio DIP I used a Classic for a short time and did not care for it.In my system it sounded clinical, not musical at all.Either bad synergy or just personal taste.Don't have any experience with the Combo. | |
| Noisy, loose Audience Au24e connector I had a Nordost IC to audition with a similar problem.Luckily since it was the only change it was obvious immediately.I can imagine how frustrating your situation was. | |
| Iron Lung Jellyfish availability? The guy that made the cords unfortunately passed away,I think last March.I guess you'll have to look for used,or start auditioning other brands. | |
| Room Question I think it would make your life easier not to work around the duct.It could be done,but not worth the trouble for 36" of space IMO. | |
| Stabilizers and footers Sand filled platforms are great under source components and anything with tubes.If you want to experiment,small "gladware" containers are just as effective.If you like the effect you can easily make your own.Like Elizabeth, mine are from the 80's-... | |
| Anyone try Pvane tubes in your Dac or CD player? Thought I'd update in case anyone is curious.First of all,I discovered that the two electroharmonix tubes which are labeled 12ax7 are in fact 6922 tubes.Anyway,now I have a couple of spare 12ax7s.I replaced the one chinese 12ax7 with a pvane and i... | |
| Tube dampers on your tube s in you CDP or DAC? I used both rubber and silicone dampers on a CJ dac and pre.They both worked great though the silicone did melt a tiny bit.Tightened up the sound and had better bass and highs.But tried them on my Vincent cdp and it just sounded constricted. |
