| Has this ever happened to you? After about 55 years of building, I am mighty close. I want to try some DAC’s, but I’m really loving my system. | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? With an integrated amplifier you do not need to use a preamp, but there may be reasons you might want to. If your integrated amplifier does not have a built in Phono section is one reason off the top of my mind to add a preamp. All the best. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Cannonball Adderley! | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers @roxy54 Congrats on the new speakers! Even though the reviews were all positive, it’s always better to have a review from someone has nothing to gain* from posting their thoughts and opinions. * Nothing to gain but listening pleasure. | |
| New Innuos Pulse, need assistance. My N200 is set for USB. Any other inputs sound close, but USB is noticeably clearer and the bass is better. BTW, I’m using a DH Labs Silversonic Mirage USB. | |
| Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs I’m following this too. I used 12 gauge silver plated copper speaker cables for years. No ends just the cable and it really did brighten up a very dull sounding system. | |

| R2R next? Don't like ESS Another vote for Denafrips. Look for a used Aries. You won’t be disappointed. I have the model right above it (the Pontus ll) and have been happy for a few years now. All the best. | |
| High pitch buzz in speakers after adding some LEDs Even the LED lights in the next room can cause problems. I was able to add a direct and separate circuit for most of my rig and it helped a lot. | |
| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? Check out an Audio Research Sp17SE. They come up for sale every now and then for $2000-$2500ish. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Any Avishai Cohen fans here? Listening to and enjoying Bright Light. | |
| Did you ever hear of Karl Jenkins? Only with Soft Machine. | |
| Does a good power conditioner reduce need for power supply upgrade? Years ago I bought an Audience AR-6 power conditioner. I lived in a big city, the house was built in the early fifties and it really made a difference in in the sound quality. A few years later, I moved to the country in a new house that was buil... | |
| Directional wires/cables I’m not sure that a new cable is directional, but after constant use it could become that way. | |
| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms @torke I was just reading about your amps and I have another question or six. What are they plugged into? Are they sharing the same circuit? Is it a 15 or a 20 amp circuit? Are you using a power conditioner? Are you using the stock power cords?... |
