    KEF C55 thoughts?

    I hooked up a pair of the C55s for my daughter this AM. Her first rig. Very disappointed in the mid/upper range. Will try the suggestions above.

    Supercharged - Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC

    Andrew Sparks (Sparkos Labs) sold me 2 of the SS3602 Duals for a great price. I installed one in place of the stock (not factory upgraded) OP amp in my D1plus and switched from the stock tube to the Tesla. Amazing difference immediately. Soundstage grew, highs were crisp and clean as was the...

    Quad ESL 57

    Hi guys. I have not purchased the Quads mainly do to the expense. The seller is asking $3200 and this time of year I find it is tough to make a large (for me) purchase. Also I am finding the sound of my Cornwalls to be quite satisfying with some changes to my DAC and other tweaks here and there...

    Always liked Robert Cray immensely! So I have the D1plus (as well as a D1) which is going to have surgery tonight as my Sparkos Labs Dual Op Amps, as well as 3 tubes including the Tesla, have arrived!

    what I enjoy most about this thread is checking out artists that others are listening to that I have yet to be exposed to!

    Enjoying new Bluesound/Roon/Tidal Combo

    I bought a Node2 and pulse 2 today. Currently giving the pulse some time. Sounds good for what it is. Have not installed the Node yet. I too am streaming Tidal but frankly, I am technically challenged. It will take some time to figure it out

    Bluesound

    So I picked up a Node2 and Pulse 2 speaker. Speaker sounds much larger than its size and quite nice. Good for what I bought it for, quality background noise and casual listening without the production of setting up another system, wiring etc. Wife not fond of all the hardware. Have not installed...

    Bluesound

    I am thinking the Node 2 and one of the speakers for the kitchen to get started. We have an old stone house and running wiring inconspicuously is almost impossible. The speaker will be nice to move around in the rooms where my equipment isn't. I am concerned that the Node and the speaker may...

    Bluesound

    Which of the 3 Pulses did you get? I was told by the salesman that they like the sound on the smallest and larger one but not so much the mid sized one.

    Bluesound

    So the Node is more of a streamer/server that utilizes your system(s) ? You are not using any of Bluesounds speakers?

    Bluesound

    It seems there has not been much in the way of discussions regarding Bluesound products. I have read about chromecast but not had the opportunity to hear the sound quality. While at a brick and mortar today picking up some repaired equipment I had the opportunity to hear it first hand. I thought...

    Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately Skizo does not allow access to his page. Am I correct that the D1+ would only need 1 of the OPamps ?(unless modding the phones side) Which opamp and tube would you start off with ? My primary system is a tube ST70 through Cornwalls? Thanks for your...

    SWL3600 How are you? I'm writing because I too have a Maverick D1 and also a D1plus. I'm also into vintage tube and getting into digital. Would you mind giving me the short version on upgrading the D1plus? I've read the thread and will read it again but would feel better about getting the...
