| A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers My buddy works for a local dealer. His advice to me was that the Auralic was a better sounding unit. That being said, the sound comes mainly from the DAC. The DACs mentioned here IMO just standard mid-level DACs. Happy Listening. | |
| Tube preamp options OK as mot of you know we are manufacturers of tube audio products. Point-to-point wired using the best parts. Most of the suggestions above are safe choices but all have advantages and disadvantages meaning they are all built to a price point.. De... | |
| CD player suggestions... Buy an old Marantz CD-94 and be done with this. The Rega Saturn would be next. Forget all the other suggestions they are nice but nothing special. | |
| Conrad Johnson owners : Free cover screws I will take them. I happen to be restoring two CJ units now phono and preamp from back in the day. Let me know how to work it out with you. Peter | |
| Jay’s Audio CDT3-MK3 wins over Aurender W20SE @brandonhifi the one we manufacturer Vu Jade Audio and a few of the MSB DACs. | |
| Jay’s Audio CDT3-MK3 wins over Aurender W20SE While IMO the Chord is a nice sounding DAC, it is not reference quality so you are missing out there but like I said it is nice sounding. | |
| V-Cap ODAM: What the Future Sounds Like We manufacturer and upgrade components now using all ODAM capacitors. They do what most say they do. BUT there is more to upgrading with ODAMs that can improve your sound quality. For example, AC filter chokes, Audio Note/Nichicon power capacit... | |
| Distorted sound in Parasound A23 power amplifier Most likely you have a bias issue or blown output devices. Local to New Jersey I can take a look at it. Happy Listening. | |
| Jay’s Audio CDT3-MK3 wins over Aurender W20SE IMO and experience to-date, the transport has sounded better to my ears than any streaming device. Have not heard the all but have heard more than most. That being said, the DAC also had a bigger impact on the sound meaning that a reference DAC ... | |
| 100% USA designed & made DAC The one we manufacturer Vu Jade Audio - hand made USA - best parts - point-to-point wired - 101D direct heated Triode tubes - R2R. Happy Listening. | |
| Aurender @vonhelmholtz - glad they are taking care of you. The R2R DAC has everything one could ask for. It is a reference quality DAC. Substituting chokes in place of other parts improved the sound more then we imagined and the use of V-Cap ODAMs took ... | |

| Class-D Audio USA have just released their new GaN amp at the CES Anyone in the northern New Jersey area want to bring one of the amps over to the listening room we would enjoy meeting with you and having a listen. We are open to hearing and learning new things. Happy Listening. | |
| Real world experience with Line Magnetic 805ia The integrated amp is a good value meaning is does pretty much everything pretty good, The other amps discussed here I forget the name Knight or something like that to our ears was better overall sounding but the build construction was just OK ... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Just pop the lid off and take a look inside. Layout, parts quality, etc. and then you should know if it was worth $40K. Remember the dealer also gets a percentage of the $40K so in reality, it is not a $40K product, Happy Listening. |
