| Looking for a particular amp So what's wrong with 120 Watts or 80?? | |
| Compact DAC + Amp How about the Mytek DAC and Amp? Talk about tiny powerhouses! Otherwise I can strongly recommend the NAD mini integrateds. I own the D 3020. | |
| Horn listeners - Do you have trouble listening to others? @schwartz36I made my own speakers with Mundorf drivers, and the only other commercial AMT drivers I’ve heard were Golden Ear. The difference in quality was gross. As for what I would want you to listen to so you could get a better idea: ESS has th... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification I encourage everyone to listen for yourselves. While there are lots of fun puzzles left in the world of audio technology, solving them may or may not have appreciable benefit to end listeners. That’s something only listening for yourself can decid... | |
| Bright or Dim? I understand LED's put a lot of junk on the power lines. Do they sell any of the old 100 watt bulbs anymore? To be clear, LED bulbs and lights which are AC powered cause a lot of noise because they use a switching power supply. Some of it is re... | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? 1 - Listen off axis. 2 - More room treatment | |
| Pull the fuse in the analogue section? I had the DAC 8. Really benefits from having a reclocker. Recommend the Wyred4Sound. Leave the fuse alone. Best,E | |

| Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers @motokokusanagi I'd love to build my own speakers but the big hurdles for me are woodworking and design software and measurement tools. These things run thousands from scratch, no? Not anymore. :) So, for cabinetry, you can buy kits which have t... | |
| Magicos are chesty @dguitarnut Interesting! Maybe it was the room I listened to them then. The dealer had done his own acoustics, and quite possible he sucked out all the wrong frequencies. | |
| Help with random noise! Power supply capacitors going bad will do this. Have it checked out ASAP. | |
| I want to dump my Oppo; but... Ahhh, so the real problem here is that you need a music server that attaches to your TV. OK, so let’s separate the server from the DAC. Any PC or Mac will work. Then use a USB cable to connect to a USB capable DAC. Use a wireless keyboard speciall... | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Here is my thinking: 4.7uF : Clarity CMR : $54Jupiter CF: $2650.1uF: Jupiter CF: $63Audyn : $20 (Parts Express) So somewhere in there I think the OP can find a fine solution. :) | |
