| B&W vs. Sonus Faber Seems if you have a Mac amp b&w speakers would work. Did notice that 803s are rated up to 500 watts. Quite an appetite vs 804s being rated up to 200 watts. | |
| What does ‘balance preamp’ mean? So basically it makes no diff if balanced or unbalanced. Marketing hype. | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber Not sure buying used spkrs is a good idea. No idea if they were abused and you’ll never have full confidence about what you have. Used cars ok, but speakers a lot tougher. | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber 802s are monsters but do like the larger bass driver size. Leaning to the 803s probably black vs rose which I don’t think works with 803s (fine for 804s which I have). I have a 12 inch asw 2000 b&w sub. 803s seem like a woman with a devilish ... | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber Thanks,I know SR is 4 ohms vs 8 for b&w. I wasn’t listening with same setup. So hard to compare sounds. Have a Macintosh amp and a high end tube amp and hear Mac does better with b&w. Have not heard much about sf and what I have heard ... | |
| Schiit freya preamp - any owners out there? Leave it on? How does schiit compare to high tube preamps? Schiit seems really good | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? I had bluesound and connection problems with Spotify. I deleted and reinstalled Spotify ap on iPad and it got better. I thought dac on bs was very poor and got a new dac and abandoned bs. Now I use a roon nucleus to stream qobuz and it works with ... | |
| AB testing - high end vs low end tube preamp vs avr 3,300 is admirable mr soix. Hopefully I will find a preamp soon. Another few years number 85 happens. Plenty of time to reach 4,000 for both of us. Love riding horsies. | |
| Schiit freya preamp - any owners out there? Leave it on? Phcollie, you very smart and schiit is looking really good to me now. Have you ever measured watt use when in passive mode?I have a Macintosh amp and a chord tt2 used to stream qobuz from a nucleus. | |
| Schiit freya preamp - any owners out there? Leave it on? Do u mean the input selector on remote? By switching to passive it does turn off tubes, and will also power down tubes after not being used for awhile. If only arc could power down tubes when ht was in use, they have power control on remote. | |
| Class A triode - on/off on remote? Thanks,schitt Frey’s is only about $900. Seems very cheap but looks nice.If I select passive input it can be used for ht bypass, and tubes are off?pls clarify how ht use occurs with Freya, , thanks very much | |
| Class A triode - on/off on remote? Using a preamp in ht environment is a mess to deal with. Manuf don’t have their act together.keep tubes off when watching movies and have a on off feature on remote.don’t need to waste tubes when not listening to the two channel system.people wan... | |
| YouTube video music Lots of confusion herein. Simply stated, sound quality from youtube music vids is quite impressive when streamed thru Apple TV. Very comparable to streaming thru a nucleus using qobuz with both being hooked into a high end hifi system.speaks to... | |
| Class A triode - on/off on remote? Seems this issue is very complex. Wouldn’t mind not having on off on remote if preamp would allow a ht signal to pass thru preamp while in standby with tubes off. One high end preamp does this, modwright but they don’t have on off on remote.prea... | |
| Connecting a DAC directly to an amp? For the 20 mins a week I listen to stereo I want that 20 mins to sound extremely good and to be memorable. There should be no price tag to great when it comes to being successful in finding an extremely grate sounding preamp. |
