Added a Schiit Freya+ to a Sansui 8080
Try changing cables.  And maybe tubes. The Freya is an amazing beast. You can go back-and-forth between solid-state And tubes.   I would give it time and get used to how it sounds.  Change can be good. And then if all else fails buy two puppies  
Do I Really Need a Dedicated Streamer?
@dunkin I love the Spotify playlists playing music at random. They offer a much better variety of topics to choose from and then they individualize the number of playlists as I recall which are very good. Playlists on Q or T are not as good. I w... 
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
i wondered if you could use each of the amps within the stereo amp to biamp one of the speakers and do the same thing on the other side.  Not adding two more dual amplifiers.  Although that might be kind of fun.    
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
So why are they connecting positive and positive from speaker wires supposed to be connected to positive and negative? Why would they internally wire it this way when it’s to be used for mono after being bridged over from a stereo amplifier? Why ... 
Anyone else having trouble with Roon?
Who owns roon?  It would be wonderful if they had support on the phone. They have a forum that has an awful interface to deal with but there is a lot of knowledge there and it's somewhat responsive. It's a strange entity and I wonder how they ma... 
2-way design vs. 3-way design means ?
I thought it had to do with crossover design. ie  The crossover is cut into three sections and therefore you can feed the three individualized signals to as many drivers you want. This is a three-way I guess To say how many drivers a speaker has ... 
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
The wiring of the speaker to the back of the amplifier is kind of weird. So I guess it's not doing bi amp  
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
@61falcon  I thought you're supposed to keep all the circuits in the same phase for your system. As long as you don't have components Sharing different circuits ground loops should go away.   
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
Every facet of change always meets with frustration. I don't understand the connections you're making on the back of the Mono.  Is this A biamp exercise? Kind of confusing to my tiny mind.  
I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode
@mulveling  A wonderful diagram. Very helpful. The accompanying commentary is helpful although back-and-forth discussion to further clarify what's going on is always good. It's an awareness exercise of all that goes on under the hood.

@immatthewj  Yes the link was very helpful. It's good that I am very intelligent and can understand these things. Thank you  
Will one cable upgrade make a noticeable difference?
I have transparent cables and also have the power isolator. I would call customer service in maine for insight.  I found them especially helpful. Also got power cables from them as well and interconnects. Overall it makes me feel more comfortable... 
I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode
Ultra linear is a sexy term used by the manufacturer. Cary has not done a very good job to explain it on their website. I think they’re taking advantage of the technology to promote something that is questionable as to sonic credibility. It’s not... 
I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode
@immatthewj A technical reference to triode in marketing literature makes sense, it’s not sexy. Ultra linear Whatever it is that it does is a sexy marketing term. If it’s switchable that’s probably discouraging a lot of people from taking it ser...

@mulveling @gs5556 @atmasphere Enjoyed reading all your comments to explain this technical area. Very difficult to understand things without a diagram and that’s what’s needed here. I think the term ultra linear is marketing in nature and I...
