I have no particular recommendation, but Oyaide, Taoc and DH are known to be quite good. Depending on context as of most stuff. Those stuffs in the link are just some pictorial references.   The whole idea is to transfer all the vibrations away from the speakers as immediate and as much as...

You don't need to get a micro stand. Get quality coupling or isolating support, including spike-base or vibration absorbing structure. Look at Oyaide, Taoc, DH Cones/squares and such. They make "day and night" difference as they always say. It is true. But as usual, spend your money prudently, I...

            Now, it seems that the challenge is not the cost, but sighting them on sale. They are really end-all preamp tubes. I wonder if any other amps, not necessarily headphone amps, were specified to use 6SJGT.

These are the closest speakers' version of my Grado RS1. fast, sparkling and smooth highs, with punchy lows. Oh, mids to die for. I may have said this, LS50 sounds unbearable when not matched with suitable stands and everything up the chain. I can't take the sound due to just a difference of a...

What is the going rate for a pair of TS mesh plate 6SJGT these days?

I have to say that Kingwa is seriously customer-centric. I bet he reads this thread. He changed designs based on comments here, recently, including changing button to volume knob. I spoke about how i missed the casing of my 19MK3, when I got my ES2, he changed it in ES3. He has been more than...

  I would encourage you to try other means, it may not be the DAC's problem. Mine has no problem out of USB 3 to date. It could be the power supply issue of your computer, or your software settings. Probably borrow a pal's computer with USB 3.0 to check where the problem lies, DAC or computer...

In case you guys are interested. Tung Sol mesh plate:    http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/181228618284?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649   edit: I am not from UK, hence I'm not the seller.

after 5 years ....   Only one bid for the Tung Sol Mesh Plate. No interest? http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/181228618284?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Get a devialet amplifier and you get a knob on the remote. If your screw is going to take some load, you need to first drill a hole, drive in a wall-plug, and then screw in your screw. Not required for hanging christmas socks, but for heavier and more expensive item, you better follow the...

buttoned volume control is not a problem for me, nifty actually.

  Another recycled news here .... i.e. nothing will change, except the 50 anniversary printing at the back of the speakers will be gone. But don't bank on this hearsay pls.

Quote: Yes Sir. I have little patience to post in depth, but glad to answer any query. Most of the reviews can be found in the internet. Not sure what can I say in addition.   As for the bass, they can be very adequate. I found no need to plug in my sub, maybe I listen to mostly...

If I am to write a review of LS50 here, I am worried that it will fly them all off shelves in a flash. I have heard LS50 that sounds terrible and totally unacceptable though. Those who sold them can be understood perfectly. They can sound no bass, over bloated bass or shrilling trebles with bad...

I wish to congratulate Kingwa for another great product. The 10ES2 just opened up the world of internet radio to me. I used the DAC's USB32 to receive high bitrate classical music streams from my laptop. The sound is clear as crystal. FREE music from numerous high quality music stations. Superb...

great review Currawong. Agree that it is neutral. IMO, having a neutral DAC is key in audio.It's like getting a blank canvas sheet that you can paint anything you like on it, without baggage.

I can't talk about the headphone amp section of NFB-10ES2 yet, since I have not yet plugged in. But the DAC section is detailed, I am using with KEF LS50. Definitely can hear the details.

Have not posted here for years, as I've gone into speakers. In 2009, I ordered the legendary 19MK3 (with PMD100), that arguably THE product that made Audio-gd well known in Head-fi, and perhaps the world. Four years on, I found myself needing a preamp to drive monoblocks for my speakers. And so...

Quote:   i'm using 337 as preamp too. 339 got preamp out?  

Quote:   Not bad.

Quote:   I guess it boils down to luck, until some businessman put up ridiculous price for the rest to follow suit. Good for you!   Searched in Ebay, turn up nothing.

Geez, .... sold much of them about 3 years ago, for 90 dollars a pair. Didn't know they are so rare now. The price of 5998 and the brown based GEC 6as7 are ridiculous now. Used to sell them for 100 a pair.

How much is the market price of TS mesh plate now?

Quote: After some time, controlling the volume using two hands becomes 2nd nature, done in a second or less. I may have more problems without the two volume pot, than with. My signal splits into left and right after my DAC, via DV337, dual mono amp, speakers cables, then my speakers. The...

Yo XMDKQ, Darkvoice maker, thanks for making such a great amp. As you can see in the picture, it now serves as both headphones amp and pre - amplifier for my speaker system. It is actually quite good as a preamp, why does your 339 now does not have a line out? I bought this amp in 2008 I think...
