Digital loveHi Vince,nice to hear from you. I liked the 47 lab gear. Neat and sounded good.If I were you I would just move to computer set up and shoot digits into your DAC. Find a nice interfa... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Duomike,I hear you and your 2 cents is easily cashed. I think a little of the audiophile or audiophool sickness is reawakening. I only just got back to a nice simple set up and I... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHI Duomike,I have always wondered about the placement of the Basshorn. Something that large does start to become an issue to place.I guess maybe the easiest way would be to use a di... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |

Digital loveHi Duomike,again time got the better of me, but any day now I will move the subs. Regarding the 231 I have not heard them yet. I did see someone in germany using the short basshorn ... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Duo Mike,My feeling and experience with bypass caps is that it is a little like cooking. Some ingredients go well together and compliment each other, while some do not. I know what you m... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Duomike,holy cow, I had forgotten how expensive the V-caps are! I priced them up today. It does put me very close to duelund caps in there. I found when I put in duelunds before ... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveDuomike,thanks again for the information. The cap upgrade is a little confusing because I know each update of the AG range they changed the caps to better quality ones. If your frie... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |

Digital loveSystem edited: Well I have traded in my DCS stack. I have not used a CD or SACD in so long due to a shift to a computer based set up. So it was time to rethink everything. While my DCS sounded fant... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Mapman,there is a part of me that really doesnt want to think about how much these updates were. But the tubes alone must be $700. The caps slightly less maybe.People say the ori... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveThe icing on the cake for the A08s arrived today. The new Emission Labs No80 rectifier tube. If the sound of this modified Yamamoto A08s wasnt fast enough or clean enough (and it was), this... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveAs the Duelunds have burned in I have found some of the thickness in their tone has given way to a perception of depth and weight. Very nice caps. Probably the best caps I have ever used. Very natu... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveAnd in went the Duelund coupling caps into the A08s. I have been very happy with the work done so far on this great little amp. Each change has brought improved dynamics, better and cleaner... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |

Digital loveI must say these mundorf M-lytic AG caps are really amazing, and considering how massive mundorf caps can be, these are still quite small and able to fit where you would like as direct replacements... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveTo add to the confusion enter the Weiss DAC 202... It is good, but how good?It is a little more up front than the DCS in some ways. Better? I cannot say it is better (yet). It is impressive... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveI thought I would replace the obvious electrolytic caps in the A08s. I went for the mundorf Tube cap (Which is huge) and the M'lytic AG versions which were slightly easier to fit. I will let them s... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |

Digital loveI could not resist seeing if there was any more performance to be squeezed out of my beloved little Yamamoto A08s. So for a while now I have been auditioning component parts in various places in th... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Digital loveHi Mapman and Muralman,I guess the DCS suits my needs for now. It is very fine sounding kit. I am wondering about changing my digital front end soon. It is too expensive to hold onto for to... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |

Digital loveHI Jason,I am using the Avantgarde active subs. Not the Bass horn. The Yamamoto is driving Tweeter/mid/mid bass horns. The active bass takes the speaker level feed from the amp. The same way as... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
