| Amp pairing for ATC SCM11 (v2) For SCM11 that Rega will be more than powerful enough. Is more about the synergy. I drive SCM40 with 110W amp, and don't feel anything's missing, I also compared my amp with some other much more powerful at the dealers place. | |
| Aliexpress Marketplace practices, be for warned. I got a fake product, wanted to return it, but useless customer support were bouncing me around. Procedure is definitely made like that on purpose, so you can never get a refund. In the end, i opened a complain at paypal, uploaded photos of a fa... | |
| Primaluna tube rolling 12AU7 Notes Great summary! I had Evo 400 preamp, now with evo 300 hybrid with Genalex 12au7. Slight improvement in highs from stock PL tubes, which sound good to me. For new production, what are your experiences? Are those Apos Ray the best? What about new H... | |
| DAC upgrade from RME I went from RME to Schiit Yggy OG to Holo Spring 3 KTE. To be honest, didn't like RME sound, its just too flat and "digital". Yggy was a big big upgrade, love that DAC. Don't know why are people prising RME so much, maybe for headphones, but i use... | |
| why expensive streamers Component with probably lowest sonic benefits, with ridiculous price ladder. Its basically a low noise ARM based computer with off the shelf components, decent power supply and variant of some Linux OS. Cheap to manufacture, crazy high profit ma... | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions I have Pi2aes with LPS (running RoPieeeXL, HqPlayer upsampling, to Holo Spring 3 KTE), tried some Innuos and Aurender streamers that local shop had for demo, and never found them worth the price difference. Paying 2-3k (or 5k!) for "I think I hea... | |
| Prima Luna Vs Accupahse I had Accuphase, think it was E213, their entry model, and for that price you can get mid-high PrimaLuna models. So hard to compare, where Accuphase begins, Primaluna almost ends:) Also, quite different sound. Went from Accuphase integrated, to P... | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? Why don't you check for yourself - HQPlayer has 30min trial, and after that you just restart the app to continue listening. Plenty of time to evaluate. Also, your sentence "actually compared Roon vs HQPlayer or using HQPlayer exclusively" doesn'... | |
| Prospectives on Chi-Fi Made in USA can be the same problem like Made in China for people in the EU - if you have to ship across continent for a service, its almost a deal breaker (Schiit...). As longs there's a local service thats also good (for example, don't have go... | |
| A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO Bit perfect when 90% of bits are actually missing? Well, at least those 10% from the original song are perfect! | |
| Tube Preamp --> Solid State Amp I was using Primaluna EVO 400 preamp with Pass XA30.5, to drive Focal 1028be and to "tame" that spicy beryllium top. Was quite happy with the combination. Before Pass I had Hypex NC500 based power amp, which was also good, dynamic, but maybe a bit... | |
| Which preamp to go with pass labs x150.8 Are there any rules with matching power amp with a preamp? I know about input and output impendence, where power amp should have at least 10x bigger input impendence . But what about input sensitivity of the power amp? Asking this because I hav... | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna Its made in China, but its not chinese IP or chinese company. PL is designed and owned by Durob Audio from Netherlands. Its only built in China, thats it. There's big dealer network around the world for sale and support. They don't ship from China... |
