SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Bill,Wow! A person with your experience/talent not modifying your amplifier is a significant occurrence and speaks to your satisfaction with it. I would have thought that the temptation/opportu... posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Bill,I get your point, it is a matter of getting the right mix of components. This does require some trial and error effort but is worth the time. Given where you are at this point in time, the... posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Bill,In my opinion one very important factor in your success is choosing a serious, well designed and well implemented SET amplifier. Your Larry Moore amplifier is far superior to your past SET... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |

Kenny's SystemLokiut,Your TW 45/2A3 amplifier seems to be quite special! Do you feel you're losing any sonic qualities with the lower power TW compared to the more powerful Thoress 845? I imagine the Horning... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
My Loft SystemHi Joe,I look forward to your impression of the Elrogs given that Israel Blume had a different view compared to Bill and I. He found them better by only a subtle margin. You have different spea... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Hi Brett,I'm a fan of Wallace Roney but I don't have that particular recording, thanks for the recommendation. As a coincidence I happen to be listening to trumpeter Blue Mitchell at the moment... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonJet,It makes sense to me that Blackgates would work optimally given the makeup of your system. Voicing of components via certain parts to get a desired sound or synergy is common practice. By t... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonHi Jet,I suspect I'd like the sound of a good oil cap power supply. You're doing this the right way by relying on your ears and simply listening. I'd assume that a polypropylene cap sounds bett... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonJet,Your music must sound utterly natural and emotionally involving given the choices you have made in developing your system. Charles, posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Jordan,Well said and I agree fully with your point. In the big picture these are minuscule differences that can be exaggerated unintentionally when splitting hairs to describe sonic distinction... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Jordan,Thanks for responding to my curious inquiry. There's always some level of trade offs amongst equally excellent choices. If the Golden Dreams(GD) allow more connection to the music, no qu... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).This sensitivity to cables of the PWT I believe is a reflection of its high resolution transparent nature. It seeming reveals what you attach to it.Charles, posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Hi Bill,I'm glad you decided to try to go down this route and it has worked out so well for you. This type of system approach has served me fabulously over the past five years. As you have note... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Yes, that price is an utter steal when you consider how excellent it sounds. It really delivers in the realm of natural or holistic music reproduction. Charles, posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Acman3,How did you discover the Yamamoto DAC? I'm always pleasantly surprised when I find other users of this little known Japanese gem. Which did you have first, the PWT or the Yamamoto?Ch... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Bill,That makes a lot of sense, it very well could be your particular digital cable. I know that Jeff got very different sound depending on which cable he used with the transport. The Sablon ca... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).It is said that the PWT is sensitive to digital and power cables. I don't know for sure as I haven't tried many. I use a Coincident power cord and the High Fidelity CT1-Ultimate digital cable , the... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Bill,It is a small world, the Yamamoto DAC flies under the radar in this country. I'm glad you have both transports to directly compare and decide which one is better for you. Charles, posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
