@nymarty pairing my Supratek Sig Grange with Coda S5.5 MARVELLOUS combo! |
@tksteingraber Nice Decware! My speakers (Devore Fidelity Nines) can run on 20 watts but they seem to come alive with more power. I'm using the Chardonnay now with 3 different amps -- Schiit Aegir (two running balanced as monoblocks), a Line Magnetic LM-34ia as power amp, and an old McCormack DNA-1. All have their unique sound qualities but using balanced outputs from the Chardonnay to the Aegirs is by far the quietest pairing -- in that there's no noise at all coming from the speakers when not playing anything. With any of the other amps running RCA cables, I get a little bit of noise. Granted, you have to be right up to the speaker to hear the noise but it's there. Adjusting gain doesn't seem to affect it at all. The music coming out of the amps with RCA connections is still great, though. I'm curious about your time with the LSA Warp. I'm inclined to pair the Chardonnay with a solid state amp using balanced connectors. |
@sim_audio_nerd Thanks! That must be a really nice combo. What speakers are you using? And are you running balanced connectors between the Grange and Coda and have you compared that to RCA connectors? |
Looking at this thread again, I noticed that I never posted a update on my Cabernet problems, the man to the rescue was @jslateiv He helped me find the problem by the pictures I had sent him, it seams two solder joints were not soldered at all, and because the wires used are very stiff it was not easy to spot, I had never soldered before, but with good help from jslativ, I was able to get it done, so now my gain control knob works perfectly. So all is good, being able to adjust the gain has improved the sound somewhat as my power amp has a lot of input gain.
