| Question about wpc on tube amps Greet overall suggestions here… But since you’d already mentioned you’re going to get a preamp to run with that excellent Bryston, definitely look into a decent used Rogue audio pre at that money. But there are other brands that do really well at... | |
| Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test That is a head scratcher. Could say a lot about your dac…I’ve found a difference between inputs on even decent dacs I’ve tried (my own dac vs others $500-$1k range). I upgraded from a decent basic rpi based streamer transport (Allo Digione) to a b... | |
| Bass only when I stand up… My first (serious) system that I had in our previous house exhibited a similar problem, only that it was in a living room adjoining the dining room. Long and narrow space with system agains the short wall. Not long to discover that when I stepped ... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? I would have to say yes it might. As @erik_squires mentioned, a serious well shielded cord can make a difference wherever. At least it had for me. Tried one on my amp directly into the wall to replace the standard cord ( into a decent Hubble 20amp... | |
| Interesting Power Cable Experience I wish it wasn’t true…but definitely not a placebo effect (and so infuriating when others decide this to be the case) I’ve had 12-14 gauge $100 cables beat out by well built/shielded/terminated 10 gauge $50 cables in this way. The most discernible... | |
| Prospectives on Chi-Fi Made (well) in China, is well made 👍🏼 LA90 Discrete reviewed quite well as well. Well? | |
| VINCENT AUDIO Although I’d gone a different direction with my decision on separates, I still wonder about Vincent Audio offerings. The SP 332 is pretty well raved about for a power amp. The preamp has a more mixed reception among reviewers, but I bet sounds gre... | |
| Integrated Amp Shopping Decisions Feel the Rogue Cronus Magnum III would be really nice for your setup. Great phono and head amp too… cheers! http://www.rogueaudio.com/Products_Cronus_Magnum.htm | |
| Help Connecting Dual Subs To Monoblocks @moofoo I was wondering if that was how to do it. @brylandgoodman I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing with two amps in mono and adding another sub. Only thing, most Rel subs incorporate a single neutrik connection and cable ends for posi... | |
| Perfect match for ATC speakers I’m considering getting a pair of 11’s myself, but pairing with my current SPL Elector pre and GoldNote PA-10. The SPL has some warmth along with serious clarity and stage, and the PA-10 (although 75w &8ohms) has remarkable headroom with curr... | |
| New Class D amplifiers I’d done quite a bit of research before settling on a GoldNote PA-10, which I really adore. But down the line, I’d really like to try the Starkimson (mentioned above), an LSA Voyager GaN amp, and (even preferably) a Peachtree GaN 400: | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? I got a good deal on an SPL Elector solid state preamp. Retails close to 3k but could be found for around $1,800. In my opinion, pretty magical. Very special pre. Imaging is amazing. Holographic, balanced, clear, super detailed, really layered, ju... | |
| what cd player ? Audiolab CDT9000 just dropped. Paul Rigby placed in higher standing than the 6000, consistent with the difference in price. I’d personally try that one, although haven’t even heard the 6000CDT: | |
| Analyzing DACs Interesting to me, how these discussions become so incredibly polarizing. Isn’t it true that there are many variables to consider here? A good sounding dac is a good sounding dac. A dac that measures well does not guarantee that its output stage w... | |
| Analyzing DACs I’ve tried different scenarios: Topping D70s dac acting as a preamp straight into a GoldNote PA10. Then a Creek integrated amp acting as a preamp preceded by the same dac switched to pure dac mode, Then eventually purchased an SPL Elector for a d... |
