Bassocontinuo DSD Decouplers - Set of 8
BugleBoy replied to Hydrology's topic in Hi-Fi and Cinema Cables & Accessories
How many of these are included in the price? -
Further Information: For sale is my APL DSD-SR MK2 DAC in excellent condition. It is among the finest of the many DACs I have owned or tried in my set-up. While I am loathe to using weasel words like 'analogue' or 'digital' sounding...IME for those that put a premium high-resolution and harmonically rich presentation, this may be the only DAC you will ever need...or dare I say want. Great synergy with a number of different pre/power combination that I have used it with...including Gryphon, Boulder, Karan, Plinius, Vitus, Kharma etc to name a few. I won't wax lyrical about the features and specifications as it is widely available on www...just ask Google. For any other questions please feel free to PM me. Pick up preferred...as packing boxes, licking stamps etc is just not my thing. But I will ship it if I have to Thanks for looking

TIDAL CONTRIVA DIACERA SE
BugleBoy replied to RicoRed's topic in Stereo, Home Cinema, Headphones Components
Yes that is true for all ceramic drivers IME. They need good power to truly shine. The more you give them…the more they give you back. Once you get a taste of what they are capable of there is no going back…at least I haven’t been able to -

Marten Mingus Quintet MK 2
BugleBoy replied to Easy Gliders's topic in Speakers, Soundbars and Subwoofers
I am using the Karan LINEa pre. IME good matching preamp have always yielded better results. That said MSB Ref is a good preamp for those that want to keep their set-up simple...or don't have access to matching preamp of similar quality. -
Marten Mingus Quintet MK 2
BugleBoy replied to Easy Gliders's topic in Speakers, Soundbars and Subwoofers
I have settled on the Kharma Exquisite MP-1000 Signature monoblocks to power my Marten Mingus Quintet. Have used Gryphon Mephisto, Karan KA-M2000 monoblocks, and Plinius RA300 Reference...among others in the past. you can check out some sample videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe-N9ZLW_CVrLm5pgsYri0Q/videos -

haha…not sure about the street lights. But the amps have gone into protection mode couple of times when I have gone crazy with the volume…playing hard hitting EDM tracks. And this is on dedicated 15amp line.

Further information: Reluctantly selling one of my favourite amps the Plinius Reference A-300...as i have accumulated far too much gear. This amp has tremendous power and drive to control any speaker with finesse. The way they grip the speakers is quite special. Operates in Switchable Pure Class A and Class AB mode. Winter is coming...so works as a great room heater too (in Class A) Preference will be given to buyers who can pick up. For a sneaky peak you can listen to few tracks here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE7fcGcbWso https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mhvi_PzzYY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu7yg88YD0Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBdLmzm8-UY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NSJn__qvXA Any questions please ask. For what its worth, here is a review from Jason Tavares of Adirondack Audio & Video 'I might as well start right out and say it... I am in awe. My staff are in awe. Random customers walking in during this busy Christmas season are in awe. Even the UPS and FedEx delivery people are in awe. Within seconds of hitting 'play', our jaws dropped to the floor and they haven't come up since. These new Reference pieces from Plinius are absolutely brilliant! The soundstage, the imaging, the ease of low bass output, the speed and transparency... in all these areas the new Plinius pieces are second to none. They are downright seductive. Everyone here is fighting over who gets to choose the next album we hear. And as if the sound quality wasn't enough... the style, the build quality, and the obvious attention to detail are all evident from the moment the pieces are unboxed. Congrats to the Plinius team for making top-end separates that are truly world class.' Key Features: CLASS A/CLASS AB OPERATION In Class A distortion is minimised for ultimate sonic performance. In Class AB, performance is still exceptional but power consumption and heat output are reduced. AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION SELECTOR (ACS) SWITCH The rear panel ACS switch allows for the amplifier to be configured for Stereo RCA, Bridged Mono RCA, Stereo XLR or Bridged Mono XLR modes. In Bridged Mono mode, the amplifier operates in true balanced configuration from input to output. ECOLOGIC CONTROL The amplifier can automatically switch from Class A to Class AB when unused after a listening session. This user adjustable feature is set to 30 minutes during manufacture and can also be switched off entirely. REMOTE TRIGGER INPUT When connected to a preamplifier trigger output, the amplifier will switch out of Mute and into Class A Mode ready for use when the preamplifier is taken out of standby. GROUND LIFT SWITCH This allows for the signal ground to be isolated from the main chassis earth. This can assist in resolving unwanted ground loops or hum due to duplicate ground paths in some systems. WBT AND NEUTRIK CONNECTORS High quality WBT RCA and Neutrik XLR input connectors are fitted along with WBT output speaker terminals to ensure a low distortion interface between your cables and the amplifier. AURICAP CAPACITORS Audience AV supply the Auricap XO capacitors used in key areas of the circuit. The Auricap was chosen for its superior clarity and dynamic ability. SILTECH WIRING Siltech premium ‘G7’silver/gold wire provides a perfect connection between components to give clear, fast and detailed presentation of the music signal. ALUMINIUM CONSTRUCTION The aluminium construction provides a rigid non-magnetic housing to eliminate unwanted magnetic fields that can interfere with the sensitive audio signals.
