| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER Comes down to the quality of the component. In general as you point out, most DACs do not have a quality output. BUT a poor preamp can also have an impact on sound quality. So you need to experiment in your system to see what works best. Ha... | |
| Which to keep! Pick one of these two soeakers The sonics you are describing have a lot to do with your equipment. Happy Listening. | |
| Help us build our playlist for our next show in November! Dean Peers. What components are you using to drive your speakers? We have a listening room in New Jersey where we get over 100 people each quarter to come listen to our systems. If you are interested in having us demonstrate your speakers we ... | |
| Does anyone repair.... We can repair, upgrade, modify any audio component. We are in New Jersey. I cannot point you to our information as Agon does not allow me to offer this because we are a manufacturer so they feel we will sell you our gear without using this site.... | |
| One key to building great systems over time. @ghdprentice - valid points but not always the best way to assess a system. Not all manufacturers use the best parts in their components. Reviewer systems and dealer system do not always sound good. Most peoples experience is with the standard ... | |
| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance The balance IMO has to do with the parts in the components you are using. They are usually lower grade resistors and capacitors. PLUS the AC filtering is usually non existent. You can filter AC noise with filter chokes and that usually provides... | |
| They know we will pay anything they can think of 4/5 times the cost? Good luck with that! It cost us $5K in parts alone to make custom mono block class A amps. The dealer wants 40% of the price. So if we sell them for $15K a pair we make $4K profit. WOW we are getting rich right? Selling 5... | |

| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing The Pro-Ject audio Transport. Have not heard the Jay's MKIII but overall the Pro-Ject was just as you said. I have not found anything that worked as well in our search since I gave mine to a friend a f3ew years back. CEC makes a very good trans... | |
| It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun @jeffrey125 I feel you pain my dad passed away 42 years ago when I was just a kid. I look up and thank him everyday for living and loving me! | |
| Best Full-Function Preamplifier For that price I can build you a customer point-to-point wired preamp. Way better that any suggestions you will get here. Happy Listening. | |
| Probable PayPal Claim File the claim now. The manufacturer may not fix under warranty as the unit was shipped to you and you are not the original owner. All this being said. we are a manufacturer and repair facility. I have seen plenty of boxes double boxed in perfe... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! Cables have a sound for better or for worse. They are not universal and may not produce the same sound in different systems. We once won an award for best of show using a cheap Adcom copper cable used as a digital cable. Not one reviewer asked ... | |
| ? about Smoking Power Amp There are things that can burn without causing harm. For long term though, I would not use the amp. Take the cover off and look around to see what has burned. I am in New Jersey if I can assist in anyway. | |
| Old CD player back from the dead—prompting many questions! The old CAL was a very nice musical sounding player. It can be upgraded to make major improvements. The Aqua is nothing really that special to my ears. (yeah I know three is a big fan club on them). The CAL can be upgraded for a ton less that ... |
