I’m also worried about how much of the harmonics in the music is LOST by the amp?
I also like Pangea cables. I got the optical also a while back. I hear way more fidelity when hooking up using the coaxial input. I need to upgrade there next.  
eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough.
I do not want to give my personal information like my last four digits of social security or my birthdate or bank draft number to ebay.  I am not sure now about ebay anymore. I will certainly use the managed payments and their shipping label to be... 
stereo review magazine
ecscott, Thanks for posting the link to all those past SR and High Fidelity stereo magazines! How did you get them all? I saw a few and downloaded. Great. Memories, wow! 
Schiit Urd CD Transport vs Marantz CD6007 Player
I have the Cambridge Audio dedicated CD transport. It is wonderful but what I hear is the DAC that I plug into it. Very happy so far. Under 500 dollars US and clean sounding. I like Schiit gear very much and own some. I imagine the transport they ... 
Schitt Saga tube buffer preamplifier gain?
George,I am at full volume on the schitt saga preamp. This way I can use my source plugged in to turn it up (tape deck output, integrated amp output and of course my wonderful schitt asgard headphone amp which I love sound of) The weakest source i... 
Schitt Saga tube buffer preamplifier gain?
I just  really should pull the trigger on the Freya plus. It does it all! I use the Saga plus with my Schiit Asgard class A headphone amp and with just one tube that the Saga plus uses the sound is incredible. Detail, smooth and still dynamic with... 
The beginning of my stereo set up
I wonder also about Legacy. I was going the route of Tekton tower speakers but this thread is very good. I have a powerful SS amp. Do I need tube amplifier for them?  
Schitt Saga tube buffer preamplifier gain?
Saga works really really well as a preamp for my Shitt headphone amp when using decent headphones. Nice sound. Grado and other highly detailed headphones work best.  
Schitt Saga tube buffer preamplifier gain?
I wonder why Schitt did not provide any gain in the saga like they did the Freya plus. Maybe I can send it back and put the money toward the freya plus. I have read / heard that the Freya Plus arrives sometimes not able to play out of the box. I g... 
New Audiophile going crazy
I am interested in learning more about your sonic frontier pre amp. Is it working okay? Does it have tubes? Let me know. I am an audiogon member. Enjoy buying and playing your systems. Is fun! 
Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed?
I will buy some of your mobile fidelity master recording records. Interested. You may have some that are I grew up with and want to hear in this high quality format. I buy on ebay , I treasure my 100 percent rating, I have same on Audiogon. You do... 
The anachronistic CD Transport? And do I really need one.
I like my cambridge transport. Smooth player. I wish it was slot loading like the audiolab.  I still have an arcam player but is  not a stand alone transport. You can't go wrong with the CX Cambridge transport.  
Does Age Matter?
56 years old. 60 percent cassette (maxell/Nakamichi)30 percent LP10 perrcent stream (spotify/Mixcloud/Dac)It is a bit more work to clean the record and play it but oh so good!Surprising how good a well recorded tape can sound thru a good machine. ... 
Speaker suggestions under 4k
You most likely did make a wise choice with Pioneer. Wow. Stereophile reviewed them and said this tower speaker model was a winner and not fussy about placement either. I like that. Heck, I had to put my big full range towers in the corners  and i... 
For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone....
ADS The speakers they made and that unique sound! I still drive a pair of ADS large full range L1590 towers. No need for a sub.  B & K amplifiers and  B & K higher end pre-amps. I am using the Sonata series preamp and it reminds me sonical...
