    Best NOS 10y Tube

    Yes - that is the one i use daily. Can't remember when was the last time I used any of the other ones as this one is just the best one. TBH Elrog is also great but somewhat in my book behind NOS ones and more expensive on top...but you won't go wrong with WE or Taylor VT25 anyhow.

    Best NOS 10y Tube

    Lets say that I have majority of "best" 10Y and variants options - Radiotron 801 black plates, Radiotron 801 silver plates (both globe and very rare), WE VT25, Taylor Vt25 carbon plates, VT25 normal ones, different ST shape 10Y tubes, Elrog 801 and proudly above all stands 801 globe black...

    ARC announces price increase effective Mid-March '24

    With all due respect that is your PoV - with whom ever I talked it had the same thinking as i wrote above. What Acora is doing is of course his business and marketing strategy, not necessarily be the right one (time will tell).

    ARC announces price increase effective Mid-March '24

    One thing I was discussing with my audio buddies is why Acora in the last few shows was presenting with VAC being the competitor to ARC which they own. As a user or potential customer my thinking process would be - ARC is crap hence they demo with VAC. And BTW I was a long and happy ARC owner...

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    After hearing Poseidon and owing Pacific 1 for years I would say using boxing jargon: "KO in first round".

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    Yes i would agree with first part when You use it in DAC mode. I don't get the other part. What do you mean by switch to full level after start up? If going into standby mode, VC remembers last "volume" setting on particular digital input. It goes to -63dB only after hard turn off at the master...

    Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

    Not really sure how to start this post but as some may know, and I repeated this in several posts, I've had luck to own or hear many, or should I say, almost all Lampi DACs in their portfolio for the last 7/8 years. Hence I have a basic understanding on how each of them sound and their...
