| Bragging rights..... It is not that separates are always better it probably comes down to that in one chassis yo are limited to what you can do as a manufacturer. Think power supply, separation for various parts in the signal path, etc. Most single chassis designs a... | |
| Comparing external DAC to CD player DAC Not surprised - the old Marantz stuff was really nice. - we still have a Marantz CD-94 in our listening room and people are amazed wen they hear it compared to the new stuff. You mention a $300 product. We cannot even find a chassis for $300 to... | |
| Anyone using 2 preamps in their rig? @yyzsantabarbara I can send you one of the ones we make if you are interested google vujadeaudio and contact me that way | |
| You want a DAC that sounds *different.* What factor helps you find it? I am a tube person as that is my preference. I have not heard a SS DAC that compares for dimension, air and separation, etc. All of the comments above have some truth in the price range those DACs fall into. R2R is my preference but we have bui... | |
| Anyone using 2 preamps in their rig? Interesting thought process. But to me that means each preamp pleases you in different ways. Time to find on preamp that does it all. Happy Listening. | |
| DAC suggestions what ever you have just sent them to me for upgrades. Happy Listening | |
| Isn’t the forum to post reviews of gear you have experience with? Blind testing has nothing to do with anything. IMO either you hear a difference - hopefully significant or you don't. If you don't hear a difference that you prefer in your own system, then move on. We have a simple rule when we demonstrate our... | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! Since Rx8man owns one of the DACs we manufacturer, he has had the opportunity to understand what makes a DAC sound the way it does. The separate power supply is around 25 pounds. The R2R DAC is surrounded by higher quality parts then are in the hi... | |
| Aurender N200 We have both in our Listening Room. Is the Aurender better, sure. But the bigger improvement is the external DAC. One DAC is the one we manufacturer, the other is the Audio Note kit DAC that is around $5K. Plenty of great parts in the AN but the... | |
| Yamaha CD S1000 or S2100 as transport If you are looking for a great transport look for the old Marantz CD-94. We still use one in our listening room. Excellent transport both build quality and sound quality. Happy Listening. | |
| Why not? The answer to your question is that most people in our opinion prefer their own power cords, ICs, tubes, etc., so why bother. Plus most people are buying components that are not reference level so to us it would be a waste of time. Buying better... | |
| Amplifier recommendation JasonBourne52 I like your thinking the older AR amps are really nice especially when you upgrade them - which I happen to do LOL Other than that the older Counterpoint power amps are hybrid so you get a little of both worlds SS/tubes and again o... | |
| Mod Squad "Line Drive Deluxe"... It was not that special sounding so why bother at all? | |
| San Diego tube amp repair look up Johnson Wu here on Audiogon andd see if he can assist | |
| I think I just smoked my Amp I'm in New Jersey and I can take a look at it if this helps. |
