| What exactly is PRaT??? @soix Like you said in the original post, you don't get it. That's correct. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? Prat encompasses the full energy in the music or instrument to begin with. It’s the natural energy, like plucking a high end guitar versus a cheap one. The high end guitar will give off more prat, and allow more expression. Getting prat in playba... | |
| Recommend a DAC based on Analog Devices? @iseland truthfully, this is correct. I have modded DACs and built power supplies and discovered so. But I was going to look at the topology and parts of suggestions for AD DACs and decide if they were worth going into. | |
| Recommend a DAC based on Analog Devices? I found out that Abbas Audio sells a new DAC with the Analog Devices chip. He said he used to dislike it, but finally found a way to make it sound nice and non-fatiguing. It’s not expensive, but the reviews of his gear seem mixed. Not sure why, t... | |
| Sun Valley vs Sun Audio 300b @wgs57 thanks for the info:) | |
| Upgraded Power Supply for Eero 6E Router I upgraded my cable modem to a good LPSU and the results were very noticeable. Don't think theres any good option to upgrade power for a USB-C device. | |
| Any Experience with Furutech Unfiltered Power Distributors I think they're great value for the money. I don't use the rhodium products - the immediate impression is always "oh WOW" but over time, the tone is not natural to me. I buy gold ones and use NCF boosters or clear line. I don't prefer the filtered... | |
| Furutech Lan 8 NCF I used it and it's awesome. Like all Furu products, you need 300-400hrs burn-in due to their alpha cryo process. | |
| Is It Worh Modding An Amp @treepmeyer Ugh. I sent something to Ric once and he sent me back garbage. Horrible soldering, bad attitude and bad treatment of my materials. Avoid this turkey and learn to DIY. | |
| Is there a clear definition of what "Integrated" means? @whart Well this touches on why I am asking. If I look up most tube amp designs, PP, SE, and a variety of power tubes, the designs usually include the input stage: There is some twin triode doing some initial amplification usually, and discussions... | |
| Is there a clear definition of what "Integrated" means? @soix but what constitutes the "pre-amp"? Any kind of driver or input stage that increases the signal before the output amplification? And a variable resistor which modulates the grid of the input stage ie volume control pot. ? | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? Sensitivity is a measurement of steady noise or tones and seeing how loud it is at 1 meter away. Has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of sound. But higher sensitivity speakers are often made with quality audio in mind, and low sensitivi... | |
| Recommend a DAC based on Analog Devices? @hasmarto Nice luxman | |
| Recommend a DAC based on Analog Devices? @jmeyers Bricasti uses Analog Devices chips for CPU not conversion. I'm talking about Analog Devices NOS DAC chips like 1865. But I'm not an expert on them (yet). | |
| Recommend a DAC based on Analog Devices? @hasmarto This looks pretty interesting. But poor craftsmanship. Is it from China? It could be modded for sure. The AD1865 is what I am most curious about. I can't afford the Audio Note Fifth Element lol. |
