| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k I just had this built and do agree with the people who claim that once you go to a DHT preamp, you'll never go back to IDHTs again. Just got it on Saturday and am already hearing more natural holographic detail out of my system than ever before. R... | |
| Bit the Bullet ... Don Sachs Model 2 Preamp In case anyone out there is looking for one of these on the used market, I just put my heavily upgraded unit up. I've loved it for a year and a half, but recently commissioned a two-chassis all out assault built around the EML-20AM. It retails fo... | |
| Subwoofers with current source First Watt? Good work @imhififan and glad it was such a simple solution. Congrats. | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 I've been obsessively reading about DHT preamps and just ran into this thread. It made me miss the "old" days of audiogon. An entire 6 page thread where people educate each other and cooperatively try and get the most beautiful music reproduction ... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Excellent. I'm subscribed to that one too. Thanks. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC George, agreed that you know the basic character after a day or two. That said, I've had two experiences that have convinced me that electrical break in is real and can take a full week or so. I had a Pass Labs xa30.5 and decided to get their int... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Just a quick note that I do feel like break-in is going to take a while with the May. I'm on day 6 of mostly 24/day playing and feel like it's just starting to come together. I think Kitsune recommends 500 hours. I read one report (for a spring 2 ... | |
| A deeper more holographic soundstage. @mike_ostradick Thanks for the link Mike. It's a useful video. Appreciate it. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Agreed George. Given how low everything is, I doubt it's audible even if the measurement differences are real. | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @yyzsantabarbara As you can see here, https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/kte-may-technical-measurements.8933/ the balanced outputs measure better. Atkinson at Stereophile stated that there were no differences besides gain, how... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @jriggy Yep. The only offer I could get was a 15% restocking fee (plus shipping both ways, $250 was what they charged me for shipping from China). Defintely cheaper just to resell. Still breaking mine in. It sounds good, but also hasn't blown my ... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Congrats @c_avila1 looking forward to reading the listening report! | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) @bifwynne Good catch Bif. I do believe that the primary (and perhaps only) consequence will be low frequency roll-off, but worth an email to ARC to find out for sure. | |
| Notifications when someone comments on my virtual system Thanks Jay. Much appreciated. Good work. Hopefully it will turn out to be a NY's present for the whole community. | |
| Notifications when someone comments on my virtual system @admin Can you make it so that people making the comments also get notifications (at least when @'d in the system comments)?If both sides get notifications it'll really bring back the functionality.Thanks so much for addressing this. |
