| Cable suggestions Friend Congratulations on building an outstanding system! MSB makes very high quality gear! It sounds like a possible compatibility issue - which doesn’t surprise me when dealing with the very temperamental technology of Clocks. That said, un... | |
| Looking for a Linestage preamp with network connectivity capability Friend From the description of the features you described - please check out Anthem. They have been in that specific game a long time and will give you a quality product. The only challenge will be whether or not it meets your sonic requirements. | |
| So what about powered Speakers? Friend Although your comments / observations have the ability to start a global war in the Audiophile Hobby realm - you have the money spent, research, and testing to prove what you are saying. The proof in the pudding is the resulting increased... | |
| A fresh approach to cable analysis Friend The topic of cables is very interesting! There are already some very useful comparative reviews on YouTube. In fact, what I have recently discovered is the fact that there are some very economical cables that compete well with so-called ... | |
| Aurender N30SA or Jay's Audio CDT3-MK3 Friend I echo the accurate and excellent remarks of mgrif104 about AI. I have found AI useful for research for data on topics - data that is already out there but would be time-consuming to pull together. So I would characterize AI as a usef... | |
| Commercial Storage Degradation Friend it sounds like you are experiencing the common sensitivities of high-end gear in such situations. Things like AC power, room acoustics due to a different room size and/or shape, and ceiling height to mention a few (there are many) are ... | |
| Mona Villa 300B-845 35W Class a Friend For what it is worth - the Chinese used to be hit or miss with quality on Audio equipment. However, Within the past couple years they have raised their game to a competitive point. I am not familiar with those specific amplifiers... | |
| Pass Labs Amps - Does the heat bother you? Friend Add one more to the "not to hot to tolerate" category! My Pass Labs sounds so great - i don't even think about heat. Now, I assume you are in an air conditioned home enjoying the music. | |
| Volume considerations Friend I second dtorc's comments on finding the right volume for each recording. This is introduces a rabbit hole because each recording and its recording particulars will be different. This is where a remote volume control can be wonderful... | |
| William Low interview Friend Thanks for sharing this information. Audioquest is an outstanding company; but their seemingly endless hierarchy of cables can be frustrating for those wanting a end game bargain - if that exists! Each level up their chain will yield ... | |
| Can "worse" sound "better" ? Friend To somewhat sum up what may have already been said or alluded to - it sounds like you are experiencing a good synergy match when connecting Preamplifier and Amplifier with the integration interconnects. The mysterious thing is the fact th... | |
| Your top 3 Friend Any Direct to Disc Vinyl if you are open to all genre's. To get started:"Cadillac and Mack The Detroit Four". Direct to Disc Vinyl is recorded/cut directly onto a lacquer disc without the use of magnetic tape, capturing the performanc... | |
| Does Ultralinear kill dynamics Friend IMHO Ultralinear mode is just not as friendly to the overall musical performance as triode. To me Triode just seems to have more of a "you are there" effect! The decision is along the lines of Ultralinear's higher power output vs Trio... | |
| Went to buy Vandersteen 2C speakers and came home with a conrad-johnson Premier 11A. Friend Congratulations on your Conrad-Johnson purchase. For what it is worth - the brand has been in the game a very long time and stands behinds its products from its Fairfax, Va location. I echo sls883's suggestion of getting it serviced ... | |
| Pass Labs Amps - Does the heat bother you? Friend Congratulations on being able to have discretionary funds to make the purchase. Since this question will have many responses - I will be brief: Please add Convergent Audio Technology to your list. If you can somehow make it to an aud... |
