| Does listening fatigue go away??? Thanks for the information everyone. To be honest, I kind of assumed that my low hours of use was an issue. What I was more curious to know it the "break in" period and "listening fatigue" that people, myself included, complain about are one and t... | |
| Does listening fatigue go away??? To be honest, the entire system is fairly new, probably no more than 30 hours? The odd thing has been that I did not have experienced any listening fatigue from the on it until now. Although, like I mentioned before there is a lot more grunt in my... | |
| Does listening fatigue go away??? Yes they do but many agreed it was not optimal. Even the manual suggest that volume should be set to 50% and outside source (preamp) should be controlling the input level. I was using digital volume control on the SB touch but sound suffered treme... | |
| What makes a bigger change, dac or preamp? First let me thank everyone for their advice and for educating me. Although I love the hobby its a bit confusing with the enormous amount of information out there. I like to buy things that will grow with my system instead of buying equipment on t... | |
| Which preamp with Quad 12L The only reason I asked is that several people believe that considering the Touch has a pretty decent dac already, the pre would make a more drastic change than a new dac by finally providing a pure strong signal to the amps while at the same time... | |
| Preamp with phase invert and balanced out??? Sorry my fault didn't realize I forgot to mention I was going to purchase the Quad 12L active. That's why I needed the phase inverter because the single coming from the SB2 in inverted due to the mods. | |

| Which dac with this system? Do you think the M-audio Audiophile, which I own, would work? It does have coaxial input and a output level controller. I mean its not great but could hold me until I can purchase something good no? | |
| Which dac with this system? You think the Emotiva DA-1 will work? Not to sure about the volume control though. | |
| Which dac with this system? Forgot to mention that it must also have volume control. | |
| Good all around speaker stands... Thanks for all the replies. I really like the Pangea stand and the Target stands are really nice. How do you know what the proper height are for stands? I see 16", 20", 24". Is there a rule? | |
| Speakers after GMA Europas Anybody compare the devore to the GMA speakers? Just curious as a friend recommended them over the GMA? As for what I want, neutral, non-fatiguing, musical speakers. I listen to tons of music and also use to my rig to sometimes test mixes I have d... | |
