| Sweet Sounding DAC Yes... There are many good sounding DAC's out there and I've been extremely pleased with my BorderPatrol DAC. I believe you'd have to spend twice the price for an R-2R DAC that sounds better, and it has a smaller form-factor compared to other DA... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport You may want to look into Jay's-Audio CDT transports. Very well made and reasonably priced (in my opinion) for what you get. Pretty flexible outputs and sound great. They have 2 units available, and both got terrific reviews.! | |
| What speakers work with low wattage class A amps I have until recently had a pair of Living-Voice OBXRW speakers and have driven them with an 18WPC parallel 300-B tube amp, First-Watt SIT-2 and F8, and a Valvet E3 all of which sounded terrific and were easy to drive with their 93-db 6-ohm nomina... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE Apparently, a number of really good transports being discussed here. I had a 47-Labs Flat-Fish transport with power supply and it was a good little transport. I replaced it last year with a Jay's-Audio CDT2 MKIII and it certainly was an upgrade ... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k There are a lot of recommendations here which goes to show that tastes vary greatly. There are a lot of great cables out there and I'm sure some with a lot of hype and exotic metals, insulators, etc. I have had several types of cables over the y... | |
| Cables from amp to preamp or longer speaker cables… I have had long runs of interconnects (5 - 7 meters) both balanced and unbalanced for two decades now with really no issues. Presently, my RCA (unbalanced) interconnects are Audio-Envy and work very well, noise-free and are very articulate, while... | |
| Cheapest but good cables…. I have had great results with Audio-Envy cables. The newest iterations are flat and their prices are very reasonable. Cap Payne will help you with these. He's a great guy and I believe he has a 30-day return policy too. They're the best cables... | |
| The revolution has begun! Revolution... Lots of discussion around this topic of digital amplification. I have not tried any amplifiers that are not class A or A/B in my system. I'm sure there may be some in the other realms that are great sounding, however I've heard im... | |
| I'm looking to add sub-woofers to my system... @jayctoy I'll be happy to let you all know what I end up getting. Right now, I would like to buy 2 subs for stereo bass reproduction. As for reasonable price, I'm thinking $700 - $1000 each in that range. I'm sure it will take me some time to ... | |
| I'm looking to add sub-woofers to my system... Thanks for all of your thoughtful recommendations and suggestions. I am starting my search... Any others I might consider from your experiences would be helpful ! Regards, John | |
| I'm looking to add sub-woofers to my system... Thanks for all of your inputs on this ! And yes I do have line level outputs for the sub's. I'd just rather use the amp outputs as my preamp is a good distance from my amps and I don't really want to do another long parallel lead length nor add ... | |
| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle In my opinion, one you should consider is the Pass-Labs XP12. I personally have the XP-22 and I purchased an XP-12 for my daughter's system. In comparison to the XP-22 the XP-22 is a little quieter and slightly more dynamic, however the comparat... | |
| Denafrips 12 anniversary @jjss49 I agree with your two previous posts. Generalization and bashing of Chinese products and MAGA individuals does nothing for the real conversation which should be is the new edition really worth the cost. DAC's are different and varied in... | |
| Where should I go from here with my digital front end? I feel from where you are presently, a good Ethernet re-ganerator would be a logical step. I had good digital Ethernet and USB cables however when I added the EtherREGEN by Uptone-Audio, that made the most difference in cleaning up the noise and i... | |
| Do YOU have a flat frequency response in your room? @kota1 You're quite welcome... I believe you'll enjoy the book. It goes about the basics and is easy to understand. It's been a huge help to me. Happy Listening ! |
