Resonessence Labs Concero discussion/review thead
You’ll won't like this I’ll give you Head-Fi’s textbook answer for your question to your inquiry: Buy the ODAC "BEFORE" selling the Concero... and get rid of the one you don’t like. ;¬) But seriously, maybe auditioning the ODAC in your system and with your ears would be a good way to go...- Francoy

The Decware TABOO MK 111 Thread
Thanks AiDee, much appreciated! (wrong thread indeed! sorry for the slight derail guys;¬) I personally use a 5751 tube in the input stage (supposed to be low gain-ish) and a couple of 7320s (E84L) in the output stage. I just don’t want to rip appart my q-audio cable to verify if I prefer...- Francoy

Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2
Regarding EQ... if you hear distortion when EQing the sound by a few dbs, it means your EQ’s not up for it.

+ 1 on the vintage receiver part. Your dad probably has one gathering dust in his garage, so I would check that out. Their is many a guy who hunt vintage amps and "refurbishes" them on the net (for example this guy www.iavscanada.com) so you can always snoop around.- Francoy
