| adcom equipment..... BTW, if anyone is curious about the bigger 575SE, it has a total of 132,000 micro farads, which is pretty crazy. Also, 24 matched output transistors and several other meaningful upgrades over my 565SE like a true balanced input stage and auto tur... | |
| Schiit freya preamp - any owners out there? Leave it on? Woodhart, that doesn't sound quite right, so I looked it up on Schiit's fact page, and they say this: Freya+’s all-new tube stage with new-production 6SN7 tubes, DC heaters and semi-circlotron, noise-cancelling output stage is whisper-silent. Bett... | |
| adcom equipment..... As far as I know, there is a dealer that has an ad on audiogon that offers a money back guarantee if you don’t like the amp. I’m not going to give them a plug though, it’s easy enough to find the dealer.At the end of the 80’s I remember drooling ... | |
| adcom equipment..... So the 565SE came in a little bit early and I’ve been burning it in. I have about 6 hours on it so far. This amp is the little brother to the 575SE, according to Adcom. Same topology which differs from the 555 SE AND MS, and I’ve had both of th... | |
| adcom equipment..... Well, another year and for me, another Adcom! I almost bought the 565SE last year and it's been in the back of my mind, though I've been happy with the 555MS. But I always wonder what if, and found a pretty good price on BNIB. I probably won't ... | |
| Aegir upgrade to Pass...maybe Thanks for your response. When I referred to clearance, my wording got a little clumsy. I meant the clearance or space around each RCA jack. I’m thinking your cables have really big rca connectors, but I don’t understand the problem, I guess.Wh... | |
| Aegir upgrade to Pass...maybe Not one, but 2 Aegir amps, eh? Not one, but 3 different RCA cables, huh? That story has many missing details which is too bad, it would have been helpful to have simple measurements of the clearance and the left and right RCA inputs, for example... | |
| Aegir upgrade to Pass...maybe I'm always kind of puzzled at these kinds of comparisons. Comparing amps that differ so wildly in price is really useless, for the most part. A person with $800 to spend will not find anything better than the Aegir, sound quality wise(probably e... | |
| Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable? Good lord, who comes up with these thread ideas? Okay, I guess we know who, but still... | |
| Upgrade preamp? Brother, if you've got that kind of budget(2 big Bryston amps and then up to 5K for a pre) you should be going straight to a high end audio shop that carries the Maggies and amps/pre's that complement them. | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? I’d like to get your take on why high-end manufacturers don’t post measurements? would you like to see how a cable measure before ....does it matter to you?The above is impressively full of various grammar errors for just 2 sentences. The first se... | |
| Adcom GFP 750 preamp problem What we have here, folks, is a 10 year old thread. Try checking the date before you respond to a thread you've dug up. | |
| How to shop for an integrated? I think more information is needed. Your proposed budget, the speakers involved, the room size, type of music being played, and any sound characteristics you prefer. That said, the Schiit Audio Ragnarok is very musical can be ordered with a built ... | |
| Looking for headphone amp/DAC I’ve got those Sony MDR 7506, I think they might be the brightest sounding headphones that ever were. Brighter than my Grados even. You are going to need to carefully select the amp for those phones. I’d suggest something that has a warm sound ... | |
| In ear? vs. On/over ear? Your experience I've had 3 pairs of around ear phones and the most comfortable pair of those was from bose. Pretty good, but an issue for me is that the ears can heat up over time. It can get rather warm.I had a pair of in ears from Bose as well, their top of th... |
