| Best Interconnect with Step Up Transformer Auditorium23, they build SUT and matching cables and know what they are doing | |
| Cables for Leben/Devore- Nordost? I use A23 between my Antelope Zodiac Platinum and Wavac Ec300b as well as A23 speaker cable to my Duevel Bella Lunas. I use Nordost Valhalla power cables on both units but find the A23 signal cables nimbler and more transparent, especially with re... | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC Analogue sound from a dac requires superior clocking. Whatever you do, get a dac with a 10m BNC clock input. The cheapest 10m clocks can be had on Alibaba for $100. Seriously, it‘s the single most important factor in choosing a dac. | |
| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? This threat is unneccesarily long: assuming no highly unusual impedance miss match there is no conceivable reason for a separate preamp in a digital reproduction chain: additional cabling and circuits for no gain (pardon the pun) | |

| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) I find the whole debate in this thread a bit specious. Passives don‘t do balanced and yet: I‘d take a Wavac ATT-s plus EC300b over any balanced amp provided you got sufficiently efficient speakers. Prior to the Wavac I was running a Graaf combo of... | |

| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? @emergingsoul,if you must have a preamp, look at a used Graaf 13.5b II. at least you‘ll have a balanced connection to the amp out of it. it still won‘t get you remote control, though.i | |
| HELP! Streaming to my old school audiophile system I‘d suggest a streaming DAC from Auralic or Lumin, straight into your preamp via RCA and you are off to the races | |
| Comparing Amp Stands and Racks from Adona, EdenSound, and Symposium Symposium or Gingko Audio, great results with both. Syposium is best under speakers, Gingko under amps, digital and turntables | |
| Budget Tube Preamp ($2000) I’d suggest a Graaf 13.5b II. Available around your price level and playing in the first division. It is also fully balanced | |
| Who is still making CD transports? Do yourself a favor and buy a proper streamer from Innuos, Lumin or PSAudio. They come with a disk drive to transfer your CDs to harddisk. | |
| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? @alfa100 my experience exactly with Antelope Zodiac Platinum +10m. If the phono preamp has enough gain even analogue sounds better through the Zodiac than the preamp. | |
| What are your thoughts on the "Edsels" of the audio history? Bose 901. I still shudder in horror! | |
