| Streaming Preamp without a built-in DAC You might be looking for a unicorn. The whole idea of these all in one boxes is to give a person everything they need in one box. Get a regular preamp or an integrated amp that has source inputs and you can experiment with different DACs to your... | |
| How loud can I listen to my P3esr without damage? They should be fine. Out of curiosity, I got out my SPL meter and played mine at that level at about the same distance, using my Vincent SV 237 integrated, which is 150 WPC. That's a little louder than I listen, but is more likely to damage your... | |
| Which is better. I owned a Marantz CD-6004 and it was a good CD player. You can find the CD-6006 refurbished at Accessories4less. I haven’t heard the NAD, so can’t say the Marantz is the "best". It’s detailed and a little on the warm side. It’s a solid unit, well ... | |

| What are you streaming tonight? Shelby Lynne - Suit Yourself, Qobuz | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Audiophile 101 - Qobuz playlist. Lots of good stuff and a little not so great stuff. | |
| TOTL Headphone Amps The 430HA is a great amp, very neutral with tons of power. Some characterize it as slow and boring. If your preference is for something more on the hyped up side, it might not be the best choice. I find it very easy to listen to, with great detail... | |
| TOTL Headphone Amps Guys, I hope I don't come off as a snob and don't mean to belittle your gear. There are a lot of nice headphone amps available for under $1K and I'm sure some "punch above their weight", but I don't think the amps you're discussing are in the same... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rod Stewart - Gasoline Alley, MFSL | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I'd rather buy VG+ from someone that has actually played the record and provides a detailed description than someone who gradesb NM- visually, which seems to be common | |
| Vacuum tube ! And Warnings Saying that every tube seller on ebay is bad is a bit of a head scratcher. I bought two matched quads of KT120’s back in October from ebay for my Rogue Audio monoblocks and no issues whatsoever. I just biased my amps today and the tubes in one amp... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I ordered a few albums from moleculesinmotion today also. Thanks for the heads up. | |
| How Do You Set Up a Headphone System? You need a good source, a good set of headphones, and a good headphone amp. I'm assuming you're talking about full size headphones, not portable or in ear monitor? Innerfidelity might be a good place to start. It would be helpful if you elaborate ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Metallica - Kill 'Em All, Qobuz Hi-resI was surprised at how good this sounds, they did a nice job with the remaster (IMHO). | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @cincyjim I saw the Moody Blues about 5 years ago in Portland for the first time. Great show! |
