![]() ![]() And the tweak didn't cost me anything the second Virtuoso pair had connected my VPI Voyager phono stage to the preamp, so I simply moved the Expressivo AGs there. I tried the free trial ,I have since I tried the free trial ,I have since cancelled only because of cost and I still use Apple and amazon unlimited. ![]() My hunch paid off! Like rotating the manual focus a few millimeters on the camera lens of my Canon EOS 30D, the enhancement in focus and detail, though a little subtle, was noticeable. After all, the Big 7 had a smoother, more organic presentation than the Lite 7, so why not? Introducing the latter into the mix attenuates the diamond's highs and achieves a superb tonal balance (you can read more about swapping these cables HERE ).įast forward to last week: this last winter, I upgraded my Lite 7 DAC to a Big 7 Mk1 - with tube rectification - via a service Lampizator offers customers, and it suddenly dawned on me that swapping the second set of Virtuoso R2s in place of the Expressivo AGs between the preamp and amp might be a good move. ![]() Its Sublime plan, which allows you to purchase high-resolution audio tracks for up to 60 off, costs 15/month. Normal costs: A subscription to Qobuz Studio (its pain plan) costs 11/month. The Virtuosos produce a very detailed, but bass rich presentation, and Expressivos sound warmer through the high bass and lower treble region. The free trial: Qobuz offers a 30-day free trial for new users of its main subscription plan (called Studio Premier). Back when I employed the tube-based Lampizator Lite 7 DAC - with its solid state rectification in my system - I found that connecting it to my PrimaLuna Prologue 3 preamp with a pair of Straight Wire's reference Virtuoso R2 RCA interconnects (info HERE), and linking the tube preamp to my solid state Odyssey Stereo Khartago Extreme amp with a second pair was too much of a good thing at times, it sounded artificially detailed - especially since my Usher speakers employ diamond tweeters my best results were achieved by employing a pair of StraightWire Expressivo AG between the preamp and amplifier. ![]()
