| Pass or First Watt Hi Bob,It`s hard to know if it would be better than your SET amp or just different. I agree with you the only way to positively know is to get it in your system.I`m curious to hear it and compare to my Coincident Frankenstein 300b SET. So far it i... | |
| Pass or First Watt Bob,Go to the thread "thoughts on the First Watt SIT amps" from june 2012. | |
| Pass or First Watt My intuition would lead me toward the SIT monoblocks given your efficient speakers.I`m sure the Pass amp would sound very good .Based on reviews if seems the SIT-1 is 'special' and with its ultra simple,single gain stage clas A design is likely a ... | |
| Preamps built Into DACs Hi Edorr,You`re very satisfied with your current setup, you may not need a preamp for your needs.I `ve own my Coincident linestage and their 300b SET amplifier for over 3 years. I plan to keep both for many years to come.The funny thing is my genu... | |
| Preamps built Into DACs Hi Edorr,I get your point, of the examples you list I`ve heard theWeiss, MSB(diamond stack and fremto clock) and the DCS in direct mode to an amplifier. They just did`nt get it done for me. That`s why I `m not saying you`re wrong but you know what... | |
| Preamps built Into DACs Edorr,You have found a solution that works best for you and that`s a good thing.I`ll assume we are all basing our choices on 'actual' listening experinces.I don`t believe top quality preamps are "dead end technology" or will ever be,in fact they s... | |
| Preamps built Into DACs SteveN,I``m not an engineer or electronics component builder and thus lack the background to debate at all on technical grounds.All I have to offer is based on hearing and I trust my ears and my spontaneous reaction to what I hear or emotional res... | |
| Preamps built Into DACs Generally speaking in audio systems I prefer simplicity as less is often more. But this preference while good in theory(fewer boxes,power cables,IC etc.)takes a back seat to sound quality-music reproduction. We all will have different outcomes and... | |

| SS amp as opposed to tube amp Orpheus10,I agree with you that forums can provide valuable information(most of the times).My point was this site has a very good archive source that contain repeated/ popular topics such as this one.Regards, | |
| Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC Knghifi,I believe you`ll be very happy with it. I`m surprised you`re aware of this DAC as it`s seldom talked about much. It really does fly under the audiophile radar.Regads, | |
| SS amp as opposed to tube amp Orpheus10,Your conclusion is reasonable as it`s all subjective.I don`t know that there`s any more to add on this often raised topic.Regards, | |
| Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC Hi Knghifi,The YDA DAC lacks USB and has but a single RCA input i.e. it has little flexibility and frills.It seemingly was built for only one purpose, pure music reproduction and the emotional beauty it provides when things are kept natural and th... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Phillip,A friend of mine was curious to hear my SET amplifier in his system(Atma-Shere MA-1 mono blocks). I must tell you the Atmasphere MP-I with my 300b SET was remarkable! The sound was transparent,very open, quite dynamic and fast. Yet at the ... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Phillip,You`ll get many suggestions as there`re a number of worthy contenders. The problem is(I`m sure you reconize this) there`re too many variables involved for someone to really guide you to just one choice.It`s such a personal decision,given y... |
