Can I use my Nakamichi cassette deck to record on tape into a Schiit Freya plus preamp?
This all sounds good! Will try it out and see what happens.  Thank you guys. I love the Sony Tape recorder selector. Very nice. Am currently reading the Sony book that was written by the founder years ago, highly recommend. Very unique and interes... 
Bluesound Node help
I will get working on it and order the adapter. It looks like the website support will be a big help. It sure is not like hooking up old fashioned receivers and all analogue components which I am used to doing. Thank you!  
I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions
Life is short, a speaker change is hard when you like the sound of your beloved speakers. I know all too well, and need a speaker change in order to do tubes right. then I will get a tube preamp. I have  a great sounding older mosfet SS amp   
Happen to you? Gear chasing because the fundamentals were wrong.
For me it is and always seems to be amp-speaker synergy and noise in the phono playback. I am learning a lot on this forum and it has helped tremendously! It seems when you match equipment it is so much easier. I purchased a decent phono stage fin... 
What amp to pair with a Hafler DH-110 Preamp?
I pulled the trigger on a DH-200 recapped and restored back up to factory specs. I used to love the sound this amp made with the mosfet inside when paired with the Hafler preamp. I had no idea about the later Hafler 9505 and 9303 models. Interesti... 
What amp to pair with a Hafler DH-110 Preamp?
Thank you qdrone! I just went on the musical concepts website. Wow. I also have a reference B &K amplifier that still sounds nice. I see he has modified and upgraded some of those as well. Thank you for the advice. I love this forum. This will... 
What amp to pair with a Hafler DH-110 Preamp?
I think you are spot on Jason! I will try looking for  a restored/recapped Hafler DH220. Is your sound with your Hafler combination warm and rich? Just curious, are you using your Snell speakers with this combination?   
I am interested to update my 15 year old system !
I am also a cyclist. Love my audio though. Bikes have gotten expensive. I do not have anything to add to help you except be careful with speakers like mentioned earlier in the discussion. I had my refence pair completely refurbished and it changed... 
Vinyl - One Word - WOW!!
Great hearing this! There is nothing like a good sounding record, nothing. I do not have an expensive setup but sure love your excitement! I remember 35 years ago, cant remember when.  I heard a record really good for the first time. Is fun. By th... 
Best sounding amp/preamp for Snell Type E/ll model speakers?
I owned Luxman for my first 20 years of hi-fi then let it go, I know that sweet sound you mention. My Adcom is in great shape. I can try it with the Apt Holman preamp. I sold my Hafler DH 200 last year (mistake). Thanks for the suggestions. There ... 
Best sounding amp/preamp for Snell Type E/ll model speakers?
Thanks Erik. Sounds like a newer model from Conrad Johnson  
Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?
Celtic66 your post is great! I agree it is supposed to be fun. I just got a pair of Snell type E speakers for fun. I always wanted to hear them (cant find or afford the model A flagship). I am having a blast! They image, are smooth and sound SO di... 
Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes.
Synergy! A match.

Schitt Freya preamp into a Pass Labs X-2A5 amp sounds interesting but it is a 5,000 dollar amp. I like the synergy that is mentioned. The most important point is this! Thomas says nothing is more important, I agree and most all of you do as well.

Quicksilver audio is sounding pretty good. Not bad.
