Doctor's Orders-Part Two-The New Listening Room Of Steve Williams
- Thread starter Steve Williams
- Start date
Al
thanks to you and all of your posts , you were a big factor in my decision so thank you for that
Lot's to listen to in June
How far are you from Grand del Mar Stevie? That's where we're staying
looking forward to it Jack. I’m about 45 minutes north of del Mar
at the end of the day Norman I’m a tube guy. It really is impossible to put into words the emotions that this DAC stirs in me. The tube output is simply exquisite
Wow Steve congrats. When I heard your system 4 years ago I knew Lampi would sound better there than analog (which was sounding very good). However me saying good things about Lampi would be considered as hyperbole by those with lesser exposure.
Please try 242 and Lampi 45s in there, and PX25 with KR recti. You will know in a few minutes which suits best, long listening sessions are not required it will be like night and day

Congratulations Steve, I was very impressed by the performance of the Pacific @audioquattr . Looking forward to hearing your system again in its endgame setting
Congratulations, Steve! I am very, very happy for you!
You have set a great example for many of us as to how to find the road to follow to reach our “end game”!
Congratulations on ordering the Etsuro Gold! I may be following you down that road as well!

If you put the Pacific with 242 into your audionet electronics, which I imagine are driving the alsyvox very well, your system will sound as good as Mike's (or maybe close second) without requiring room treatment. It will be very easy for you to try.
Ked he already has 242s in
and based on what Steve wrote about not being the tube roller, he might just sit and enjoy if those 242s work nicely as it can't go much better than with those.I'm sure I read Emile after zero noise flr in his system to fully evaluate small changes in Extreme presentation. I suspect Pac won't provide that as well as TD. Y'know, tubes.
You suspect because you have no idea, but that's fine
Nice tidy layout.
Gotta love that LL1.1 Sig and the LP1 Sig.
I'm curious about your choice to stack each channel's control unit rather than have them side by side with the power supplies below. Do you keep the gain knobs pretty much unchanged?
Yep, Lampi is zero noise. I already have feedback of GG in a tubes based system. Result...noise!!! Kinda like yr kneejerk response to my post.
I have no intention of arguing with you on the boss's thread. Let's do that on your system thread which no one reads
Having owned the GG1 (with PX25 tubes) I'd be inclined to agree, however I noticed nothing like that in any of the systems I have heard utilising the Pacific. I am considering acquiring one. What I am sure it does let you evaluate very well is naturalness of presentation / tone. There will always be a hint of a certain mechanical quality to solid state, it can so low to not offend in this day and age, but it is undeniably there.
Sure Emile, was just speculating. I know there are audiophiles who cannot abide the least hint of noise in a system. My ears are not as golden. If Pac is silent in systems like Audioquattr, that's hugely commendable. And if you ever give the nod to Pac over TD, that's a big feather in Lucasz's cap.
