| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? They do the assembly in Boulder, the product forms are stamped here in the US as well. I did ask one of their techs if anything was manufactured in China, he said nothing is. That may not apply to their older offerings, but the amps/pre/direct s... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Any updates? I was considering the Brooklyn as my headphone preamp/DAC. Though I’ve read plenty on them, reading this def makes me think twice about a purchase. | |
| Preamp tubes ran their life? All, thank you for the inputs. | |
| Preamp tubes ran their life? @noromance , I’ll check them out. Do you have any input on their musical characteristics? | |
| Preamp tubes ran their life? @kennythekey @djohnson54 thank you for the input. I should have qualified a little more...”Way up”, they probably ran for about 4-6/day for the first year, due to the preamp being inband of the home theater signal. I’ll swap the L/R channels, bu... | |
| Preamp tubes ran their life? I’d also like to get anyone’s input on 12ax7 tube replacements. My budget would be $200-$250 per tube. | |
| DEQX Final Config and impressions... Has anyone used a DEQX unit with the Sanders 10e speaker system? (Replacing it with the supplied dbx unit)I didn't see an answer in the other post, when you posed it. Possibly contact a DEQX dealer to find out and see if you can get an in home de... | |
| DEQX Final Config and impressions... Ahhh, I do believe I recall those reading those sentiments. I will continue to enjoy and thanks for all your help! | |
| Classe or McIntosh Is Classe going out of businesssed Do people still buy Yugo’s? That was said with tongue in cheek. I would think the resale on them would drop; which means you could get a much better deal as time progresses. I don’t know if they’ve “officially” closed, but reports say they are ... | |
| Need recommendation for my hybrid system Ive been told that the McIntosh gear will make the SF speakers too warm and laid back. Anyone on here have similar or difference experenence with Mac and SF pairing? I did demo the C2500 and MC452, together, with a set of SF’s. It was not to my l... | |
| Got the upgrade itch, fellow audiofiles! If you don’t have room treatment, I would leave everything and solve that. It’s to the point now where they aren’t obtrusive and can be made to look like pieces of art or any picture you want. Then add a DEQX. | |
| Room set up Room EQ Wizard, if you have a way to input the its test signals into your system. It’s open sourced/free, just have to buy the mic and will help you get your speakers into position. | |

| B&W 804 + AVR850 or 550 in a 5 channel setup with a bread and butter sub. It’s not my money, so I throw some caution to the wind. But, I’ve owned the 804’s and that Arcam will not be enough to drive them. It will sound fine at lower listening volumes and probably not noticeable while watching movies, but when you turn... | |
| Need recommendation for my hybrid system I realize everything can be very subjective and there are numerous opinions regarding sound. For me, I’ve found that the McIntosh C2500 has been the perfect fit. As I progressed in upgrading my amps, swapping between DACs, getting into vinyl...g... |
