| Core Power Technologies everybody who has been waiting for product or money, it's easy for me to say, but take a breath. It will be a longer breath than you ever expected to take, but I am confident it will will all work out in the end. Bitching at this point is pointless | |
| Another Speaker Recommendation Request Emerald Physics 4.8s will rock your entire musical spectrum world @ 96 dB | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money I looked at the Jas audio offerings, but they lack toslink | |
| Oppo 105 D vs. DAC-transport combination. The main reason I bought a 105 maybe 4 years ago was to simplify my system, and I have ~ 50 SCADs/DD-As (and growing) . I upgraded from a Parasound P3 to a P5 pre/ dac. I tried the P5 dac using a toslink and after significant break- in, I did not ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? WireWorld designer actually understands the physics and electrical properties that separates sonically great cables from the masses of mediocre cables, regardless of their pricing | |
| Dac Technology Mature? whitestix298 posts08-04-2018 10:08pmimprovement over, for example, the internal DAC in the Oppo 205. Hmm, I thought my Oppo 105 sounded excellent (pretty sure it has the identical dac section as the 205) until I replaced my preamp with an Aud... | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money Thanks for this thread. I had been using an Oppo 105 with aftermarket linear power module and incoming silver wired Rhodium IE. to spin discs. Both of those upgrades were huge. However, recently I upgraded to an Audio Alchemy stereo amp, which s... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? All prior comments were when using my Oppo 105 either direct for SACD/DVD-As, or as a transport, after getting the Audio Alchemy DDP-1 DAC/PREA couple days ago I decided to dust off my Pioneer PD 65 CD player (inverted platter) Stage 3,modified o... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? The reason behind my question had to do with better design and higher quality parts making for a better end product than in ages gone byIn my case, the missing ingredient was not understanding the importance of impedance matching in order for the... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? well, wll, well... it appears we've just had a magnetic pole shift... Tortuga just introduced an active preamp | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? To whom it may apply: "I" started THIS thread, NOT George. The impedance issue between my recently acquired Hattor XLR and my EP amps/ Audio Alchemy stereo amp has turned out to be a blessing. To get to the bottom of the impedance issues, I bought... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? George said (7/15): It may sound good, but I don’t want to burst your bubble, you should have asked, if your still using your Hattor passive, you didn’t heed what I said about your EP 100.2 amp being only 19kohm input impedance, and not the best m... | |
| Emerald Physics CS2.3 MkII I did not mean to suggest I do not like the Hattor.I love the looks and sound, plus, cool design face,very high quality fit and finish. I merely bought the dac/pre to see whether I needed to add an opamp to the Hattor in order to solve impedance ... | |
| Emerald Physics CS2.3 MkII Bump. I have a current pir of KC IIs with upgraded Wire World OCC internals. Damn fine speakers>AA stereo amp> Hattor XLR (AA dac/pre comes tomorrow)> Oppo 105 with upgrade LPM and pure silver connecting wires& Furutch Rhodium IEC>... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? FYI, Oppo 105 output impedance is 100 ohms. Is the Hattor still a mismatch with the AA amp? |
