| Digital Dilemma I also have the Onkyo and use it as a transport through a Gustard X16. Until recently, I was also running Amazon Prime HD from my laptop into the Gustard. Cd’s were always somewhat better. Recently I installed a WIIM Pro also running through the G... | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? + 1 on the Van Alstine | |
| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) +1 for Onkyo C-7030 - I've also owned one for 4 years or so. Light use hooked into a Gustard X16 Dac, easy to enjoy, but not for critical long term listening. | |
| Qobuz or Apple Music? Soundiiz followup. It doesn't do Amazon but for playlists. Not songs, albums or artists to anywhere else. Too bad..... | |
| Qobuz or Apple Music? Thanks Cleeds. At least it says it will do it. I'll give it a try. | |
| Qobuz or Apple Music? I have Amazon but wanted to try Qobuz. Because I have about 5000 tunes in my Amazon database, I was looking for a way to transfer most if lucky to Qobuz. Neither Qobuz or I could find a way to do so. If anyone has a way to do so, I'd love to switch. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Just want to add what a great thread this is. And thanks to all. For some reason, for me at least, cello works during this pandemic have been the best palliative. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear David Foreman on Arista 1976. Some may remember the only single, "Smokey China Tea". Just played after recovering stored albums. Still great. | |
| Adcom gfa 555 or 5400 A while ago, I'd say the same about the 535. But I had it modded by Hoppe's Brain, and wow, what he did with it. New transistors, caps, resistors, and more. I've had Parasound, Naim, Van Alstine modded Dynaco, a couple more amps. Until I have a fe... | |
| phono preamp < $500 Rega Fono MM $390 or so is a nice choice also | |
| turntable recommendations Agree with stereo54, Same cart, plus tried a Benz and a Dyna 5x. Some tweaks. Nothing could make it pop. |
