| YOUR AUDIOPHILE JOURNEY WHEN DID IT START AND HOW DID YOU GET TO YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? My journey started in high school of course, I heard my boss stereo in his office . He had a Marantz and Teac cassette deck and cant remember the speakers he had. He told me to go out and buy whatever I wanted but remember his setup because it ha... | |
| Schiit Skoll phono stage I love Audio Mart! I will check it out. | |
| Schiit Skoll phono stage I am not saying the Skoll sounds better than my current phono stage by Musical Surroundings, but it might? I can not see that happening but I may have to try it out and listen for myself someday soon! I am currently using a low output Grado Statem... | |
| Streamer apps critical I use a Bluesound Node mainly because I am new to streaming, and you guys mention it in the past how good it was getting sound wise and app wise. I gave up on trying to find a decent priced used Cambridge Audio streamer. I love the CD transport I... | |
| Can I use my Nakamichi cassette deck to record on tape into a Schiit Freya plus preamp? This all sounds good! Will try it out and see what happens. Thank you guys. I love the Sony Tape recorder selector. Very nice. Am currently reading the Sony book that was written by the founder years ago, highly recommend. Very unique and interes... | |
| Bluesound Node help I will get working on it and order the adapter. It looks like the website support will be a big help. It sure is not like hooking up old fashioned receivers and all analogue components which I am used to doing. Thank you! | |
| I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions Life is short, a speaker change is hard when you like the sound of your beloved speakers. I know all too well, and need a speaker change in order to do tubes right. then I will get a tube preamp. I have a great sounding older mosfet SS amp | |
| Happen to you? Gear chasing because the fundamentals were wrong. For me it is and always seems to be amp-speaker synergy and noise in the phono playback. I am learning a lot on this forum and it has helped tremendously! It seems when you match equipment it is so much easier. I purchased a decent phono stage fin... | |
| What amp to pair with a Hafler DH-110 Preamp? I pulled the trigger on a DH-200 recapped and restored back up to factory specs. I used to love the sound this amp made with the mosfet inside when paired with the Hafler preamp. I had no idea about the later Hafler 9505 and 9303 models. Interesti... | |
| What amp to pair with a Hafler DH-110 Preamp? Thank you qdrone! I just went on the musical concepts website. Wow. I also have a reference B &K amplifier that still sounds nice. I see he has modified and upgraded some of those as well. Thank you for the advice. I love this forum. This will... | |
| What amp to pair with a Hafler DH-110 Preamp? I think you are spot on Jason! I will try looking for a restored/recapped Hafler DH220. Is your sound with your Hafler combination warm and rich? Just curious, are you using your Snell speakers with this combination? | |
| I am interested to update my 15 year old system ! I am also a cyclist. Love my audio though. Bikes have gotten expensive. I do not have anything to add to help you except be careful with speakers like mentioned earlier in the discussion. I had my refence pair completely refurbished and it changed... | |
| Vinyl - One Word - WOW!! Great hearing this! There is nothing like a good sounding record, nothing. I do not have an expensive setup but sure love your excitement! I remember 35 years ago, cant remember when. I heard a record really good for the first time. Is fun. By th... | |
| Best sounding amp/preamp for Snell Type E/ll model speakers? I owned Luxman for my first 20 years of hi-fi then let it go, I know that sweet sound you mention. My Adcom is in great shape. I can try it with the Apt Holman preamp. I sold my Hafler DH 200 last year (mistake). Thanks for the suggestions. There ... | |
| Best sounding amp/preamp for Snell Type E/ll model speakers? Thanks Erik. Sounds like a newer model from Conrad Johnson |
