Can someone point me in the right direction? LP player / Preamp / Dragonfly Red...
I agree.  Anyone know of a higher power Amp in the 400-500 range that is of some descent quality?  I don't need a Receiver, just an Integrated Amp, or a 2 Channel Amp.  And isn't it strange though on the A-9050 that the 8 ohm rating is higher than...

A-9050 specs: 8 ohm 2 x 75 W/Ch4 ohm 2 x 65 W/ChHow can that be??A-9010 specs:8 ohm 2 x 44 W/Ch4 ohm 2 x 60 W/Ch(these specs are direct form Onkyo USA site)  https://www.onkyousa.com/Products/prod_class.php?class=Amplifier&source=globalnav

I think the real issue is that the Kappa's are more demanding than a 4 ohm speaker. I dont see an impedance curve which would show how often there is a demand for high power/current.  The Onkyo will certainly drive your speakers, but you may be mi...

I read that the Onkyo was stable down to 4 ohm.  And I thought I read the wattage would be closer to 66 WPC @ 4 ohm from that amp (I'm no Ohm wizard though)Room size is 11x20 (with speakers on the short wall about 6" from each corner slightly angl...

Just to be clear, you cant input a TT into your iMac and use the Mac as your controller. This is only done when somebody wants to convert vinyl to an audio file by using a A/D converter.That's some info I was looking for - thanks!  Guess I need to...

If your Sony has a phono stage, keep and use it. If not, add a Bellari tube phonostage ($350). No real need to discard the Sony!No phono stage on the Sony.  I will check out the Bellari - thanks!  At 350 though, its almost the Onkyo Int. which has...

Sony is a cheap STR-DH100 but it actually sounds pretty good.  I have the volume set to 50 and control the output via my computer.  I let Audirvana and DragonflyRed do all the SQ stuff. I have to beleive that the Onkyo Int would make a big differe...

Appreciate the responses guys!  Is there a way, or a benefit, to running the TT through my iMac/Dragonfly Red?  Or does getting a TT mean I pretty much need a new amp with a Phono stage?  That unfortunately would give me pause as I've been paralyz...
