Mike, have your received your active Duo or Unos yet?

I haven’t heard the E2se, but have heard good things about it from more than one I would even fathom a guess that as a single-ended design and lower, but sufficient power for the AG’s, might be a...

Good point, Keith. The Viva and VAC were on my "lust list" after buying Mike's AG Duo Mezzo's. With such efficient speakers I was drawn toward the concept of building around just the watts I...

You can see the Oliver Sayes Yamamoto 45 clone and the 46 amp in the upper left of this pic.

When I received the Duo Mezzo’s, I had the ARC Ref75SE. Not a great combination, so I tried my Valvet A4 mono’s and preferred them considerably. On my prior Zu Definitions Mk 4’s, the ARC was...

Yes, he does...they exude quality in every way. The noise level on the Duo Mezzos with linestage gain near 90% is completely absent with ear to the drivers. This is more quiet than any combination...

Thomas Mayer 45 drives 45 is outstanding on Duo Mezzo XD’s. It is on another planet compared to all others I have tried and I long for nothing. That last part is revealing for me as a lifelong...

I saw these same speakers. They are in Champaign, IL (Glenn Poor's Audio), along with an ~18 year old pair of Duos. I listened to both (and almost bought the Duos). The setup, unfortunately is far...

Mike I'll give you a call today. I was originally thinking that was what I needed, however, the red text below from their adcopy suggests that owners pay more for their external adapters for...

Thanks Neko. To the bold text above, MSB actually recommend those XLR to RCA adapter for the Ref and Select DACS as the most pure conversion (see quoted text below)


Based on the limited...

The 200iQ is definitely on my radar; however, I do need to be able to convert to RCA to evaluate the low powered SET options regardless. With a speaker like this, I need to have relatively high...

I've been enjoying the Reference DAC I purchased from Mike for close to 8 months. I couldn't be happier with it!

I have, however, jumped at a chance to purchase a pair of used Avantgarde Duo...

Hey Joe,

Do you find the thicker, tonally denser Luxman 300B is slower than your Misho? What are the downsides?

On a hopefully not too tangential topic...did you compare the Duo XD and Duo XD...

Any feedback on how these RK150’s sound? Seems awfully quiet considering it is the lone competition for Tung-Sol.

thanks.

Thanks, Nikhil. That looks like an affordable, well-made device to prevent grunge back on the line.

The PS Audio Premier is a power re-generating amplifier (i.e. turns AC to DC, then rebuilds the AC waveform). Power filter is a passive power filtering device, also by PS Audio, but not sure the...

Thanks, Al. I know you have had a lot of experience on the server side of things. Would appreciate your input.

Please..."lacked a certain logic"? What does that even mean? Read my response just above for the "logic" in play. If you still find it lacking...well then, ask a specific question.

First, to the bolded part: if you read the thread title, I was interested in comparisons between the GG and the Premier and that is what Mike sent me to compare.

As mentioned by me above, the...

Thanks, Ultrafast. I also have a TPLink optical isolator that I could insert between Cisco switch and MSB if it would be capable to drive the 40-50ft of Ethernet between switch and MSB.

the Cisco...

I also have a TP Link optical ethernet isolator that can be used, but I would MUCH prefer that it not be in the music room. Will the receiver on this be able to drive the ~40-50ft of ethernet cable...

Al, see the attached image to understand how my network is setup and how I plan to proceed. Looking for opinions on this in another thread as well.

With the GG in the system, I used the capsv3...

Guys - I could use your help. Soon I will receive an MSB Reference DAC with renderv2 module. My network/music room setup can be seen in the attached image. Is there improvement that can be had by...

Mike - said it would be around 4 weeks from order placement. It’s been 2 weeks...so halfway there unless it gets in sooner. :woot: One can hope! Seriously struggling to wait! Mike...have put the...
