| Best Preamp with Tape In and Tape Out Monitoring Capability While I don’t make use of it, my Linear Tube Audio microZOTL 2 preamp has a tape monitor. I also use it with a Pass XA25 power amp. | |
| All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i I have an N130 as well that I use as a streamer into my DAC. I would really like to try out a higher end streamer, but the selection of streaming services integrated with BluOS is unmatched as far as I can tell. For instance, in addition to Qobuz,... | |
| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables I also need a long cable run, around 17ft. I had Blue Jeans Canare 4S11 for a while and I thought it was a great cable for the money once it breaks in. I decided to upgrade and went with Acoustic Zen Hologram cables. The cables have excellent tona... | |
| Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need? Lots of really good content here. In my opinion, there are definitely several factors, besides the more obvious speaker load, room sizes, listening levels, etc. Current can be very important and power supply design is a major factor here. I am no... | |
| Quandary $300 to listen to gear that someone is trying to sell you and they don’t even have the amp they are recommending? For me, that would be a no go from the start. I own a Pass XA25 and think it is a great amp. I would have a hard time trusting someon... | |
| Preamp for Bryston 4b3 & Tannoy Cheviots Take a look at the Linear Tube Audio Microzotl line stage. Not your typical tube preamp. Tube life is very good and it is very dynamic. Not the lush sound of older tube preamps like vintage CJ, but good bass and a very natural sound in the right s... | |
| Has anyone tried a linear power supply with a Weiss 204 or 205? @duketbrd88 Thanks for that update and hope you enjoy! Hopefully mine is one the way soon as well. | |
| Has anyone tried a linear power supply with a Weiss 204 or 205? @duketbrd88 I just used the email address on the ModWright website - modwright@yahoo.com. They got back relatively quickly. Just an FYI that I still have not received mine, but they have communicated about it and given that when I reached out thi... | |
| What are the absolute legendary Snell model no.s? Snell was my entry into better audio. I started with the Type E. Awesome speakers. Though a basically a floor standing speaker, a short stand helped them even more. I also had the Type B. The Type K were remarkable for the money and the As were wo... | |
| Not enough outlets I have a similar issue with a duplex outlet. I recently bought the AE quad with the Mega cable and it has been working really well for me. | |
| DAC Suggestions Take a look at the Weiss 204. I have not upgraded the PS yet, but I plan to, and even now, the tonality and dynamics are wonderful. I think with an LPS upgrade it will only get another level. | |
| A $250 Power Conditioner? That is interesting. I just checked one that I am trying now and get the same continuity results. Anyone out there with a more solid electrical background than myself have any ideas? | |
| Value of a preamp? Can greatly enhance the overall sonic characteristics of a system. Tonality, dynamics, soundstage, and so much more, when it is the right fit with everything else. | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers I know this might not be helpful based on you ask for a 200 watt amp, but I am a Dynaudio HS Special owner and I get terrific sound from them using a Pass XA25. The speakers are a 4 ohm nominal load as you probably know and they are current hungry... | |
| Has anyone tried a linear power supply with a Weiss 204 or 205? Just wanted to mention that Dan Wright from ModWright is designing a LPS for the 204. He is making just a few betas first and I am on the list. If others are interested, they may want to reach out as there might be a few left in the initial queue.... |
