| Trying to understand optimal method of volume control with separates For the moment it seems that keeping the pre at 2pm medium gain and lowering the dac a bit works pretty well but I'm thinking about picking up a freya+ so I can finally do it right and have a remote. Hopefully the gain won't be out of control but... | |
| Trying to understand optimal method of volume control with separates Thank you so much millercarbon I didn't know those knobs did anything. I turned them and the sound got louder! | |
| Trying to understand optimal method of volume control with separates Up until yesterday I was keeping the preamp volume at 12 oclock on medium gain and controlling volume with the dac. Sometimes it seemed like it was out of tune or out of balance and not that great sounding at higher volume. If I put it around 2 o ... | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong I've been listening to a vtv purifi eval-1 for just over a week on my ascend acoustics towers being fed with a topping d90 dac using the topping a90 as preamp. I'm mostly very impressed. It sounds super clear and punchy showing off on great reco... | |
| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) Been listening for awhile and seeing how it goes with different music. I still haven't really noticed any unpleasant high frequencies but I will say that the vtv eval-1 is unforgiving. On one hand there are albums that are perfectly recorded tha... | |
| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) @soix thanks I’ll report back after spending more time with it. The mods look interesting but I think I’ll keep my warranty for now. Will look deeper into it for the future though. So far really enjoying the new amp . I didn’t know my speakers had... | |
| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) First impressions are very good. I was a bit worried until I realized I had to reverse the phase on my sub and then suddenly theeeere it is. It went from clear but hollowed out to clear and fleshed out and warm and delicious. I had to look up the ... | |
| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) After much reading and deliberation I ended up giving in to my curiosity about purify. I got the vtv eigentakt eval 1. Everything I read about it suggests it’s the full size speaker equivalent of my A90 which I like a lot with my phones. Audio sci... | |
| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) Thank you for the extra info. I would be going out the back of the A90 amp since the balanced out on the D90 is already taken by the cable going to the A90. I assume the result would be the same.I've noticed lots of bel canto recommendations for... | |
| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I have a lot to think about. Has anyone tried VTV amps before? They have one for amp $999 with purifi modules and it's supposed to be super clean and strong at 4ohm. | |
| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) I should have mentioned in the title I want new with warranty. Sorry about that. | |
| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) Thanks for the idea about xlr/rca out simultaneously. I wasn’t sure that would work. I’ll also read up on the A21 as well as the amps from the first post since it’s not necessary to have line out on the amps. I wasn't sure it would work since I t... | |
| Hoping for a recommendation for stereo amp around $1500 or less ($2k max) Thanks for the advice. Those look very nice but I would want a warranty at this price. Also, I don't see a line out for my sub.What about the NAD C 298? https://nadelectronics.com/product/c298-stereo-power-amplifier/It has those purifi modules... |
