mychew 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 Seriously do you need the X-PSU? The X-PSU is only useful if you have various components such as the X-10D, X-24 DAC , etc etc.. You can always build your own PSU using a torroidal transfomer. Take a look at this website http://freespace.virgin.net/rock.grotto/x-psu.htm ben...i think at least not for the near future...

Sipher 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 mychew, i think not all cmoy are bright. i think it depends on the opamp used Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mychew 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 OT: Sipher, I think he would allow audition if u r seriously interested in it..last time lengcm offers me to audition his x-cans v2...u could ask him about it... no experience with cmoy..... but i tried the original x-cans v1...it's much more brighter than tube-rolled x-cans v1...

Mackie 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Blues, if U're referring to your session at my place, the tubes weren't rolled with Mullards then. This could explain the brightness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mackie 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Blues: That's why tube fans are abundant in this community....choose the right tubes for one's sonic preference while retaining the common signature of warm mids no matter what the replacements are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 (edited) but I have phobia with tubes.. whenever I see tube it reminds me of some 'psycho scientific experiment' ugh maybe I should buy tube amp which covers the tube.. Edited August 20, 2003 by Blues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
