| Magnepan owners. Fuses or what If you have the steel jumpers change them out. You will be very surprised at the positive change. | |
| 300b lovers I have to say this thread has more information, insight, and history about amp topology and component interaction than anything I've ever read. What a wealth of information! Thanks @lynn_olson and @donsachs for a stunning primer in current a... | |
| 300b lovers I am another of the lucky guys to get one of Don's 300b stereo amp. After many years of transferring components in and out of my system, this amp simply puts everything into place. And, of course, being matched up with the DS preamp doesn't hurt... | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k OP If you haven't rolled some different tubes, especially in the Atlantic, you should. There's so much more waiting for you when changing out the stock supplied tubes. As for the PrimaLuna, I have no experience in tube rolling with that but alm... | |
| Fee for home audition Screw him. A quick google check and I see several dealers that give a no questions asked 30 day return policy on that unit. You pay return shipping. | |
| Streamers made in America? Musica Pristina A Capella 3 A definite high end piece made in North Carolina. | |
| ZEN Mini S vs. Small Green Computer Sonic Transporter i5 music server/Ultra Rendu Streamer Be advised that if you plan to use DSD that the I5 is limited to 128. If you're lucky and dont use too much DSP filtering, maybe 256. The I7 will get you all the way up to 512 if you want it plus gives you the built in ripper. Having said that I... | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? I still have my first real piece of good stereo equipment, a Sansui AU9500 integrated. Very highly rated at the time. Had it recapped several years ago just for fun but it sure doesn't stand a chance against newer equipment. Remember that piece... | |
| 2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report I really enjoyed both Clarysis rooms. Soundstage and realism was great and very very close to a live performance. Plus the bass was natural and dynamic. Anyone else check them out? | |
| The 300B World I recently purchased one of only 2 Don Sachs 300b class A amps he has made, and the only one with custom wound CineMag IT transformers. Four 300B tubes. Four NOS Tungsol 6V6 from the 50's. And two 6sn7's. I've owned a lot of equipment in my l... | |
| Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage First thing to do is can those stock steel jumpers on the back. I used a pair from Anticables to replace them and was blown away. Number 2, take care of that 1st reflection off the sidewall. Now you're ready for an amp. I had both an Emotiva a... | |

| DAC recommendations I think you'll be chasing your tail until you get off of Airplay and maybe look for another streamer. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 gregjacob If the Atlantic hasn't shipped yet have Lampizator put in an I2s input. I have a Golden Gate 2 that they pit in the I2s and it beats the other inputs by a good amount. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Keep in mind on which DAC you listed have the I2s input. That input beats the USB and Spdif handily. I would go up the ladder to the Denafrips upgrade. |
