Blue Ridge JamboreeThis will take you right there. They should replace the little diodes on your Digital Power Supply Board. I have Scintillas which, like your Quads, can define every little detail it is given. The d... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

Blue Ridge JamboreeWell, darn. I did miss steering you to the best transport. The winner should have been the 47 Lab Flatfish. This transport is better than any I have heard including the PSA. It has revoluti... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

Digital loveI looked at your Scarlatti. You are taking the opposite path I have taken. All of my components are chosen to do the least to the music signal. Your source is like one reviewer says, "More cho... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveDid I not say my AN DAC is unique?Audio Note loads deficient diodes into all of their DACs. Just by changing out those dull diodes with super fast recovery Shottkey diodes, the music comes ... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveI will have to give that a try indeed. As my health continues to fail, a more simple audio procedure will benefit me. My Audio Note DAC has a USB interface. I have read that interface is no... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Chad,Funny how a transport makes such a distinct difference, but it is true. You, having a highly resolving speaker, need to make the changes that provide the most clear result. So do I.... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveI look forward to your findings. posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveAs you know, I trust your testimony. It is your system. I find it hard to believe just moving the digital filter out of the mix can rival a dedicated NOS DAC. My Original Scintillas have all the ai... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveOk, having told you what difference the diode makes in NOS DACs, I realized I didn't give you a link to the exact diode. The Duetta was a fine Apogee. The FR and Scintilla are leagues ahead... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Chad, I once had a neighbor who was cycling through quite a number of OTL amps, and tubes. Seeing you are doing the right thing in choosing OTL, I wish I had taken notes back then for you. <... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Chad, are you using subs, or are you talking about the big horn? posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHey, Chad, you must really know how to make horns sound so good. At forums, horn discussion rarely bring out a positive nod. posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Bombaywalla's Obsession ConfessionNo, I did not even look at Allen's cable designs. I came up with the idea for mine by owning both the Anti-Cable SCs, and the ICs. Speltz SCs run separate. Mine do too. The Speltz ICs are run separ... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Bombaywalla's Obsession ConfessionHey Bombaywalla, I will be interested in what you have chosen to replace the VD's.I still have my Anti Cable ICs. They have kept up with all my upgrades, still, I think I can build ... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Chad,I was excited to hear your comments on the Halcro. I immediately went to search out Halcro. The first thing I came up with was a review by Stereophile. What to my utter surprise did... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveIt is impossible to know what you are listening to, Chad. I sure do wonder. I like how you are tinkering with room adjustments. I can't do that, and when the music is loud, I find it clearer on clo... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
Hearth and HomeThank you for your kind words.The weather in Sacramento is mild. Even so, I have toyed with the idea of storm windows to cut down on outside noise, and conserve heat. I am surprised... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
Hearth and HomeWe wouldn't agree on anything audio, I can tell right now. For instance, I don't think you can buy a better speaker cable, especially for short lengths, than you can make for yourself. Thro... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |

Digital loveYo Chadeffect, so what are you thinking about the horns now? What secrets have you coaxed from them? Can you listen to them hour after hour without fatigue? Are your amps good at low level? I would... posted over 14 years ago | View comment |
