| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Do these preamp tubes have auto biasing or do they have to be done manually? | |
| Sonys faber Amati G5 My friend is driving his SF Amati with Burmester 911 and Burmester Pre (I forgot which model exactly) but it sounds quite divine. | |
| Relaxed/Analog sounding DAC for under $10k (used or new) After trying almost 14 different DACs personally I settled on two for two different rooms - Audio Mirror Toubadour V -$6000 new and lifetime repairs and support from Valdimir Merason DAC1 - $6-8K new I did like the Mola Mola Tambaqui as w... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks Audio Mirror Wave. Vlad is very easy to work with and he just added sub out. This may suit your needs. https://www.stereotimes.com/post/audio-mirror-wave-tube-preamplifier-by-terry-london/ https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/audio-mirror-wave... | |
| dac recommendations for turntable listener? Check out Audio Mirror Toubadour V. Sounds as good as a lampizator pacific for a lot less. I have had one for several months and it’s been very analog sounding. It also has some DDC technology within (similar to if you added a Denafrips DDC to the... | |
| What are your thoughts/opinions on the Orchard Audio Starkrimson Mono Ultra Premium I recently bought the Ultra DMC 2.0 which, as mrmojo said, is basically the same as the ultra monos. I did a direct comparison with the Hifi Rose 180 integrated GaN amp and I didn't notice much of a difference. The mids were slightly better on the... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k I’ve tried a few and the ones that sound most non fatiguing and natural to my ears are the Audio Mirror Toubadour V and the Merason DAC1 latest version. I use both one in my main system and one in my office system. Speakers are Dali Epicon 8 and F... | |
| what's a good Gan / Class D option under 3k? Nilai or Ncorex500? Hifi Rose 180 or the newer smaller one they just came out with. I have the 180 in one of my secondary systems and it sounds good. Lots of connectivity options and even tone controls. | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V @nwres Definitely a case of "more can't hurt". I tried pairing the GAIA DDC with the Okto DAC8 and that too yielded improvements. | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V I would say 15-25 mins warmup is enough. | |
| Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations There's a pair of Pathos hybrid monoblocks on USAM. I personally have the Pathos Adrenalin monoblocks and the Pathos Synapse pre. These may be out of your budget range but the Pathos Inpol for sale on USAM would be within you budget. Pathos has ... | |
| Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers I recently purchased a Hifi Rose RA180 that I have paired with Focal Diablo Utopia standmount speakers and an SVS sub. It also utilizes GAN transistors and had some interesting features such as bi-amping capabilities, BTL mode for difficult speake... | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V I forgot I had also auditioned the Chord Dave. The fact that I forgot about it shows that I was not super impressed by it at that time. | |
| New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport @tonyptony No volume control enabled. I've never tried DSD over DoP, only Native. Regardless, 99.99% of all the music I listen to are NOT DSD so I can live without it. Perhaps my own unit is defective or I didn't configure it properly, but as lon... |
