| What amp do you use with your passive pre? @georgehifi no not confused with dB. So, unless stated like First Watt J2, it is always stated at full power? | |
| What amp do you use with your passive pre? However, what I just wrote above is different than this. The specs below is from Nelson Pass First Watt J2. Output power in 8 and 4 ohms respectively. 30 watts @ 1% THD, 1KHz15 watts @ 1% THD, 1 KHz Input Sensitivity 280 mV = 1 watt, 1.4 V = rated... | |
| What amp do you use with your passive pre? OK let me try to clarify few things in my mind. I assume every amplifier manufacturer gives the input sensitivity as per watt not at full power. Let's say there are two amps. Amp A: Input sensitivity: 500mvInput impedance: 100kOhmPower output: 40 ... | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple I am definitely considering a tube amplifier. I just ordered this passive LDR preamp so I used my option for the preamp there.I used to have ProAcs. I was never too wowed with them. They were tonality right I think, but I remember getting bored af... | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple Unfortunately, almost entire room. It is an attic but we have furniture and stuff (it is our hobby room). Current speakers 32 inches floor standers. A friend did the measurements with his MiniDSP and the results were not that bad. He was actually ... | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple More info: In case there is an excellent price on a new equipment, I do not buy new. So, for a used speaker our budget is max $2000 | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? @pmboyd if you are interested. Someone is selling an upgraded Bidat. http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649348362-museatex-meitner-bidat-for-sale/ | |

| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? @4hannons:I actually wrote my last comment at the same with you. If the messages had also the seconds shown, probably we had 5 secs difference:)English is my second language. Sometimes I write things that can’t express what I actually mean. I tota... | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? Although my two last comments about the DACs being similar/different seem like they don't make sense. I meant DACs that are in similar price range. Obviously, SB Touch and Bitstream comparison is not fair. | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? Also, for whatever it is worth; I can almost instantly compare Bitstream vs. the Logitech SB Touch's DAC which is not a bad DAC and liked very much by some people. I will tell you this; the Bitstream is better by a MILE! | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? I only stream Tidal HIFI via Logitech SB Touch. The only one I tried with the exact system is the Bifrost and Chord Mojo. Others I have mentioned above were in similar or different systems. I honestly think most DACs sound pretty good/similar I me... | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? No, stock. I don't blame you. I just wanted to get a DAC that sounds like LP and after so many readings/asking, I bought the Bitstream. It sounds so good, I am also suprised by it. | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? Although I did not compare to Gungir, I have compared to other Schiit DACs such as Bifrost. I also heard DCS DACs and recently heard Gustard X20 Pro and owned various DACs including Chord Mojo. Bitstream is the only DAC that gives me the analog LP... | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? I opened a thread about Museatex Bitstream being the best DAC I have heard. So, although most of you will find it odd that I am recommending a 25-year old DAC, I can say that you have to try it before you say anything. I can't believe how musical ... |
