| Really need some help finding a full range speaker @robertbrook I have the same Paradigms that you have, the 75fs. It's interesting that you feel you need more bass? I absolutely loved the bass on the paradigms. Very fast accurate and punchy. They don't go super low and they don't make your ch... | |
| Seeking advice on purchasing a new streamer Thanks everyone for the advice and thoughts. I ended up buying the Sonore ultraRendu with the normal 7v power supply and it was well under my budget. Ended up being around $950 with shipping. Bought a couple CAT6a ethernet cables so it all came... | |
| Seeking advice on purchasing a new streamer Ah I see @arafiq, thanks for the clarification. If I was to just use a CAT6 cable to connect to the router I would go with the ultraRendu correct? I might go for that option just because it's more within my budgetthanks | |
| Seeking advice on purchasing a new streamer thanks for the recommendations guys! I'm gonna check these options out. @arafiq, I'm curious, what do you need the media converter for?the Lumin U1 mini, the Innuos Zen mini and the Sonore opticalRendu look like the strong contenders. Though al... | |
| Fully upgraded Rega P3 vs P8 @guy-incognito Thanks! seems we had a similar journey. I think somewhere down the line in the future lies a P8. Glad you're enjoying yours! | |
| Fully upgraded Rega P3 vs P8 @orpheus10 did you notice a big improvement with the incognito rewire? How does it compare with the other upgrades? I found that the gt subplatter made the biggest difference followed closely by the TTPSU. Is the upgrade on that level or less? ... | |

| I like my Peachtree Nova300 more than my new (to me) Pass XA30.5 HELP! Thanks for everyone's input and interest. I have an update. My LTA MZ2 arrived yesterday and I have it installed in my system with the Pass XA30.5. Wow!! this combo is wonderful. All the things I found lacking using the Peachtree as a preamp ar... | |
| I like my Peachtree Nova300 more than my new (to me) Pass XA30.5 HELP! Thanks everyone for your input. This has been very helpful. Tvad and Al, I did install the jumpers in the XLR inputs so that part is out of the equation. I'm gonna see what happens with the LTA when it comes. Clearly the pre section in the Pea... | |
| I like my Peachtree Nova300 more than my new (to me) Pass XA30.5 HELP! Yes, I'm not going to 'pass' judgment until I get a preamp that I know pairs well with the Pass amp. I'm hoping that it's just a synergy thing. The Peachtree pre section has an output impedance of 100 ohms. Would that information have any beari... | |
| looking for a preamp for pass XA30.5 thanks guys, good info here. I'm wondering about the advantages of keeping everything in the system fully balanced? Many of the tube options I was looking at only have unbalanced RCA connections. How much of a compromise would I be making if I ... | |
