| Digital gain vs analog gain You should run the power amp with no attenuation and use your preamp as your volume control - that's what it is designed for. I don't understand the reference to changing the gain on your iphone in the context of a feed to your preamp unless the ... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Living in northern Europe in a north facing room, Class A heat is not a problem - perfectly acceptable in the Summer and eminently usable as space heating in the Winter. I'd prefer not to have the power consumption. But - regrettably in that rega... | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @op - you can use a the computer of your choice running Roon. You need to that your DAC has a USB input and that it will see the output from the computer - but most will. | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? It's a fine line between better and different. I applaud musicians who have the courage to make a clean break rather than staying in the comfort zone of their bands viz. Paul Weller, Mark Knopfler and Sting. Of those three, only Mark Knopfler's po... | |
| Counter weights on your turntable...another dirty little secret? Exactly, ghdprentice - support local dealers who are invested in customer service rather than pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap online vendors. | |
| Simplest Linear PSU? @OP Being smaller, generally, SMD components are actually more "discreet":)) Both SMD and through hole devices can be "discrete". | |
| Break In Failed Just install them and listen to them. You'll get multiple upgrades for free as they run in :)) | |
| New Western Electric 91E 300B Tube Integrated Amp REVIEW ! SET 300B amps all measure dreadfully. But I must say that I was hoping for more from the WE amplifier. However, I applaud the company's plan to expand the range of valves (as we say over here) that they plan to produce. | |
| Wilson Sasha W/P amplifier pairing @op. I'm familiar with the preamp. As regards being ready for tubes, the Sasha W/P is a very demanding in terms of its' modulus of impedance. Do try to audition a quality class A transistor amplifier and a comparably priced tube amp with your lo... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl I think the OP is being satirical - at least I hope s/he is. Aside from the satire., early digital was dreadful. A quality modest turntable such as a Rega Planar 3 was manifestly superior back in the mid eighties when CD was launched. Today, the... | |
| Wilson Sasha W/P amplifier pairing Try a pair of Pass 60.8 - unless your room is large and/or you listen at high volumes. You have the option then to put the money saved over the 100.8s into a better preamp. | |
| Cartridges A good cartridge will improve all your records. So if you have lots of records, the answer is obvious. | |
| What exactly is a speaker box sound? @kenjit - summed up precisely. End of conversation! | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? In addition to your chair, your ceiling height is very low. You could need some treatment on the ceiling. Possibly standing up, you are eliminating some reflections that are apparent when you sit down. | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System Wilson loudspeakers should not be excessively toed in. The higher resolution the system, the more potential there is to destroy its sound with bad setup. Knowing the sound quality of the individual components involved, that system has the potenti... |
