| Stereophile Scamming Subscribers? "Interesting, audiophiles spend thousands of dollars on a continuing quest for the best sound, while also complaining about $2.75 a month for a related magazine." That's funny, but true | |
| Early Impressions of Lab12 Integre4 I picked that amp up. It’s hefty. You definitely made a wise choice. The build quality is excellent as is the 5 year warranty that you will likely never have to worry about using. You will enjoy its different personalities if you change tub... | |
| Early Impressions of Lab12 Integre4 I have a LAB 12 DAC 1 Reference and when I first got it I had a hard time describing how special it sounds. It is built like a tank. When I demo’d the DAC it was with the preamp and Soura amp. I listened for probably a half hour and I knew that D... | |
| Digital gain vs analog gain If my DAC has gain like my RME , I will experiment with the output voltage and set the volume to "0dB " on the DAC and use the preamp volume , For most RCA installs I had that DAC set to +5 dBu and it put out about 2 v to my Preamp. Set it... | |
| Streamer matching to system I love my Aurender. Upscale has a few models on sale now | |
| Recommendations for good sounding streamer Node all the way... the Vault 2i ( Node's cousin) was my introduction to streaming and it literally changed my life. I've enjoyed for three years , like deadhead1000 I spent $5k to better it. Best value in streamers in my opinion. Continu... | |

| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll I'm open minded to the latest technology, I would like to try a GaN amp to see what they sound like. It wouldn't displace my current amp , it would be for a second system in another room that in all honesty would get more use | |
| Denafrips 12 anniversary Not saying anything is junk , but most of it is way overpriced. I used the RME as an example because it’s packed with technology and affordable would you rather have a German car or a Chinese car? | |
| Denafrips 12 anniversary “Chifi trying to get US manufacturers prices for garbage. I’d never buy any audio equipment made in China. What garbage. “ Anyone who has ever been in the biz knows what a $6000 Chinese DAC costs to build. About 1/10 it’s price If that $600 U... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Amps that sound great will always have a following, whether they run hot or are ridiculously inefficient. I like tubes but if I didn’t own tubes I would definitely look at a low powered Class A amp. Years ago I borrowed a Pass Aleph. ... | |
