| Adding tube sound to my SS system This is not very High End Audio of me, but let me offer another solution that is cheap and fun: The Joilda (Fosgate-designed) Foz SSX. I bought one for use with headphones when I had a job that would take me away from home for two months every yea... | |
| Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions I have, and really enjoy the PS Audio BHK preamp. It has five inputs, and each input has both balanced and RCA connections. You could actually hook up 10 devices at the same time, so long as you only played one (either the balanced or RCA) at a ti... | |
| Amp for Vintage Heresy I have what I think of as Klipsch-cousins (Volti Razz). I was also looking for a new amp earlier this summer, though my goal was to have a low-powered/low heat alternative to my larger Class A tube amp. One of my solutions was a used Coincident Au... | |
| I know this an old topic...but Tonearm for Garrard 301 :) I have been using a Pete Riggle 12" SPU tonearm on my Thorens 124. for the last five years, I use it with three different SPU cartridges, and I really love what it gives me. A rich, full platform, superior when compared to both an old SME and a ne... | |
| Replacing My Maggie 3.6R I had 3.6's for 12 years, and loved a lot about them, but also always felt that there was this thing missing - slam.maybe, or midbass power, or a certain "thickness" that I want my music to have. I moved to baffle-less speakers - dynamic speakers... | |
| A DAC for the Oppo 105 Thank you to the second wave of contributors. I wish the D.BOB did output USB! Oh well... I think that a used Codec could be an interesting approach. I seem to like the Ayre house sound. I've always understood (like it was a given) that Toslink w... | |
| A DAC for the Oppo 105 Thank you all for your insights and suggestions. I appreciate that I now have a list of potential DACs, along with sound characteristics, on which to do some research. I also appreciate the insights on support and cabling. I can try the support ... | |
| A DAC for the Oppo 105 Fair question. For this occasional enjoyment, I was hoping that $1000 or so could do the job. I bet Qobuz would have maybe 75 - 80% of my CD's. And that's pretty darn good. But a substantial part of my CD enjoyment comes from the "mix tapes" on ... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? I am very surprised to find myself writing this, but I recently bought a pair of Volti Razz speakers, and I can't get over how much I like them. What is surprising me is the upper midrange and tweeter. I kind of braced myself for enjoying the dyna... | |
| A collection of Henry Cowell's "Hymn and Fuguing Tunes" I have tried eBay and other disc sources. I haven't found all the pieces in one collection. I did purchase a CD from the Northwest Chamber Orchestra that had four of them on the same disc - the most so far. But I like the Acman3 idea - I have a C... | |
| My Remote on my preamp has stopped working With my PS Audio BHK preamp, I will occasionally lose remote function. If I take out the batteries, and shut off and unplug the preamp, then plug it back in and turn it on, It always restores the remote functionality. Some little computer chip nee... | |
| ADD or Audiophile? I think that staying focused only on the music is hard for many of the reasons that folks have shared, But I also think that it is something we can gently push back on if we would like to stay more music focused. I was lousy at meditation - my min... | |
| Cool running, low powered power amp Well - the joke's on me! How naive! I ordered my new Decware Triode, and understood there was a waiting list. I figured it would arrive sometime in July, just when I need it. Well, that may be true, but it would have been three July's from now. As... | |
| Cool running, low powered power amp Okay - after all of your good thoughts provoked an examination of my priorities with this summer substitute of an amp, I decided to order the Decware Triode amplifier - all 2.3 watts of it. I decided that since I have speakers that can actually ma... | |
| Cool running, low powered power amp Thank your for your suggestions! I have checked out each one, going to websites and reading discussions about them. And i entered some new worlds (Such as Mr. Nixie and Decware) that I didn’t know about before. You have got me exploring and thinki... |
