| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. Earlier in this thread I was somewhat disenchanted with what Morrow had done to their cable formula. Since then I found that something was wrong with my aforementioned Audioquest Sydney IC's, and switched back to an all Morrow cable loom(except f... | |
| Need under $1500 preamp for my system Wolf, good to know on the tube removal procedure! On my previous pre, the Saga, I once misaligned the tube when inserting, a rookie mistake. That's also something that those new to tubes need to be aware of.BTW, you're the guy that made me curio... | |
| Need under $1500 preamp for my system Sure, cat, I had the Parasound Halo P5 and also the P7. Earlier I owned the Anthem TLP-1 as well. I also used the Emotiva XDA-1 as a pre.What made me curious enough to try the Freya+ was an audiophile who has a channel on youtube. He owns some ... | |
| Need under $1500 preamp for my system Another Schiit Freya owner here, with the "+" version. I tried to post earlier, not sure what happened. The Freya+ is the best preamp I've owned and also the cheapest(except for the Schiit Saga). I'm sure that if you've got unlimited funds, yo... | |
| Low Cost DACs I was referring to the Modi 3, now I see I didn’t actually mention that! | |
| Low Cost DACs In my headphone rig I find that the Modi is brighter than the Modi Multibit, but not unpleasantly so. But in some rigs others might find it doesn’t suit their tastes. Everybody has their own preferences, after all, I’m sure you can find something... | |
| Low Cost DACs Sounds like you have the cable issue well in hand then. Have you mentioned what your amp and speakers are? | |
| Low Cost DACs When you get 40 to 50 hours on the Modi, it'll be much closer to the final sound. Oh, I should ask what kind of RCA cables you have on the Modi. In my experience anything that is fine strand copper I don't care for. It may seem counter intuitiv... | |
| Low Cost DACs I’ve read owners reviews who compared the Modi 3 and Topping D50, and they preferred the Modi. The Topping stuff can be too sharp sounding, and not enough body or depth.I’ve got the Modi and it does benefit from breaking in. It’s a great sounding... | |
| Parasound Zamp and Kef? Hey, if you're looking at Parasound, the 275 amp is a big step up from the Z amp, at 90 wpc and having better specs across the board. If you're ok with B stock, you can get one here for 200 off.http://https//www.safeandsoundhq.com/products/paraso... | |
| Just got a Schiit Yggdrasil Congrats on the Yggy GS. I was drooling over that but since I've already got a Gungnir I'm waiting for the Unison USB to be released as well.I don't think they've announced a release date but were hinting that a new USB card for the Yggy and Gumb... | |
| New Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks just released!!! I've been noticing Parasound has been increasing prices for their upscale lines like the Halo line. My theory is that there must be more disposable income out there. They say that the economy has been pretty strong, lots of jobs and wages growin... | |
| Advice on a 5-channel amplifier or possibly a 3-Channel/2-Channel Combo Upgrade Adcom GFA-5705 is another good option. Built like a tank at around 90 lbs. They sell direct, Adcom.com | |
