| Best Sounding Adapter - Making RCA into Banana or Spade? Thanks! Maybe I'm thick, Drinking my first cup of coffee today with Boz Skaggs, but I think we need more info what you're trying to do. Jerry | |

| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? Good to see how many people are getting on the high sensitivity train. Why do I care? More users means more choices by manufacturers. The economics point big manufacturers to the expensive insensitive speakers. Some great posts here. And so... | |
| Digital Preamp with USB-input but without a DAC? Too late to edit my post. I see you have a pair of small desktop all-in-one speakers. I have a pair of those on my desk. they are designed to be driven by a computer and use the computer for volume control. Indeed they have a smal DAC and amp ... | |
| Digital Preamp with USB-input but without a DAC? Because you need a DAC to convert a signal to analog for your preamp to use. Preamp goes downstream of the DAC. I don't think your speakers have a DAC. Maybe they have a usb port or possibly an ethernet port for updates, assuming they have onb... | |
| When feeding a DAC Hi-Res files, DSD128, 256, 512, PCM 32/768, etc are NOS DACs prefered? Grimm MU1 (and I think MU2) would be examples. you can turn it off, 2x, or 4x. Jerry | |
| where I can buy tubes to my ALLNIC PRE (3A/110A and 3A/109B) I'm at work now and don't have my spreadsheet but I think there are quite a few DHTs with 4 volt heaters that would work in this application. My lampizator GG3 uses DHTs in the output stage and I am a huge fan of DHT preamps. PX25 is one. You... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H Just to be clear, I am looking for a reciever for HT only. Nothing to do with 2 channel music. | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H @erik_squires If you say it is not user friendly, then it must be hopeless. the best time to avoid a frustrating piece of equipment is before you buy it. I'm starting to look at Marantz. I think the Cinema 40 will work for me. I'm in no hurr... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H Thanks @erik_squires . Much more than just an opinion. I really appreciate it. Jerry | |
| Grimm MU1/Mola Mola Tambaqui combo vs. Grimm MU2 Sounds about right to me. I have an MU1 and a Lampizator GG3. Haven't listened to the MU2. | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! Many audiophiles have cleary read too many wine reviews. | |
| Grimm MU1/Mola Mola Tambaqui combo vs. Grimm MU2 I hate youtube. What did he conclude? | |
| Is it a Bad Tube or a Bad fuse (Fuse Fatigue)? Fuse fatigue as a reason for a fuse to blow may exist but until it blows it won't make static. that's my thoughts. Best of luck, Jerry | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H thinking about your question I realize I wasn't clear. I have a 2 channel streame and DAC feeding input 1 on my amp. The AV streamer (currently my TV) feeds input 2 on my amp. So the streamer I'm looking or is just for multichannel movie stream... |
