He was a very knowledgeable guy. Haven't heard that name in years

I had all the plans to log in this afternoon and sniper this auction. However I looked in the chamber and there wasn't enough ammo

Nice review. So sorry I missed

This is 10 min from me. I just have no more room!

Well done

Where did those end up?

I'm eagerly waiting for this al6 version to exist I'm not even going to fool with the passive

That man was brilliant

Dive into it. I have 3 of them and lovem

Agreed

Not sure which post you're referring to but here's the way I did mine a long time ago

I was there too and I agree with everything Murg said. The active and the passive are notably different. I like the active. Many many years ago when the underground jube became available, in the same room I've heard many renditions of passives versus the active. There were some times there where I like the passive better and they were very similar to the active. However with this demonstration, the differences were obvious.

Oh, if that DAC has a digital volume, Please turn it down to zero before trying that set up. jc

OK. I've had a lot of Mac stuff. The Mac old preamps can be dark. For an experiment, can you leave out the Mac preamp and use the DAC as the preamp? You could lose what I call "body" or "thickness/tangibility" but may see the AL5's as being more lively and open. just a thought. jc

Which ones?
