| Amps Under $1k to Pair with ELAC and Klipsch Speakers? Soix,Mesch,I agree with you, 100%. The quality of my source material has always been a lingering concern on the back of my mind so I recently started working on that. I have Amazon Music HD (on a 3-month free trial) and it is a noticeable differ... | |
| Amps Under $1k to Pair with ELAC and Klipsch Speakers? Cool, thanks. Got 3 new, good options so far. I gotta read up a little more on each option about how they sound. | |
| Evaluating Potential Setup, Solid State Pre-Amps, buffers, XLR Cable Length Hey Reggy,Thanks for the reply, even after the thread has been dormant for more than a year. I had a similar situation as you. Like you, I ended up with a 10 kOhms-potentiometer-based passive pre-amp as the solution (in my case, a Schiit Sys).What... | |
| Evaluating Potential Setup, Solid State Pre-Amps, buffers, XLR Cable Length Hey Reggy,What pre-amp did you decide to go with? Can you share your shortlist of pre-amps before you decided on the one to buy? I'm interested in it because I want to get a Denafrips Ares II in the future. | |
| Passive Pre-Amp into Integrated Amp to Prevent Clipping? Yes, it does have one. Granted, the Yamaha R-S202 does NOT have physical digital inputs (TOSLINK, coax, USB, etc.) but it DOES have Bluetooth, which means there's a DAC somewhere in there to convert the output of the Bluetooth receiver into analog... | |
| Passive Pre-Amp into Integrated Amp to Prevent Clipping? OK. What do you think is happening on my system? If I go DAC -> receiver I have clipping even at low volumes (20/100). If I add the SYS before the receiver and reduce the volume to about 3 o'clock, the clipping is gone. | |
| Passive Pre-Amp into Integrated Amp to Prevent Clipping? Yeah, I'll definitively be looking at other forum posts for suggestions on the components for a $2000 system in the future. | |
| Passive Pre-Amp into Integrated Amp to Prevent Clipping? I guess that’s what I get for being a cheap audiophile. I'll keep the SYS in the chain.I’m already saving for a future system (<$2,000) with separates (DAC -> pre-amp -> power amp -> speakers). Hopefully the future system will be made ... | |
| Passive Pre-Amp into Integrated Amp to Prevent Clipping? Thanks for the feedback. I'm not familiar with the design details of active speakers but I'm always looking to learn more. The speakers were Edifier R1280T.And yes, I'm using the line level inputs on the Yamaha.I tried the system without the SYS ... |
