| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? OP here. Interesting. Seems like the Schitt Skoll supports balanced, and the balanced inputs on the Yamahas seem legit also. From Schitt website: "Balanced. Skoll is balanced and differential all the way through. Of course you have the choice of... | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? OP here. A related and follow on question would be; is the Thorens, TD–1601, the Schitt Skolll, and the Yamaha A-S3200 all similar technology and compatible from a “balanced“ perspective? I have read they not all “balanced” claims are the same. ... | |
| Western North Carolina Audio Society Yes! | |
| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k Based on your requirement, NAD Masters M33 or M66. The Naim lacks phono inpot. While not 1 sleek box, I would spend that $15k budget on an Accuphase E-280 (add phono card or Schitt Skoll) + HiFi Rose RS-150b. If you want fully balanced, step up t... | |
| Phono preamp, all suggestions welcome +1 on Skoll. | |
| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? https://tv.apple.com/us/show/1971-the-year-that-music-changed-everything/umc.cmc.6dkxf7hxdcaueu4jhe1wm2k2n | |
| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? You can’t go wrong with Blue Jeans at your price point. Also, I’ve had good luck with custom cables made by performance audio in Salt Lake City. Great to deal with, lots of wire & design options, and high quality. https://www.performanceaudio... | |
| A reasonably priced DAC upgrade from Schiit Gumby You seem to like the Schitt gear, so for a warmer sound, why don’t you try running your DAC output through one of their small and simple “tube buffers”. Vali or Valhalla pre’s, obviously, these are made for a different purpose. Worth a try? I ... | |
| Sansui? You can’t go wrong with the Sansu integrated. I have an AU 5900, I love it. You may want to look into having one recapped, then you know it will be reliable. I’ve had several Sansui. Pull the trigger, don’t look back. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I love my Paradigm Reference Studio 40s. V.2 is the sweet spot IMHO. Made around the year 2000. l like them so much, I bought a second pair, they are the headliners of my two primary systems. Oh, and they sound much better when bi-wired. YMMV. ... | |
| I saw the back of an integrated and it depressed me. I use a Schitt Sys to double up an RCA input. | |
| Full range stand mounted speakers I like the recommendation of Fyne Audio, but I would suggest looking at the F701, kinda pricey @ $7-8k, but the sweet spot of the range, and the larger woofer in the F701 will meet your full-range requirements. If you are open to vintage and much... | |
| Accuphase c2410 I have spent hours researching this in the past. My recollection, at least on some of their integrateds, was it was surprisingly simple, though not well documented. Involved switching some wires or jumpers inside the chassis. I did find, but no... | |
| Help with Audio Jigsaw Puzzle Please +1 on the Schitt Sys, or look at their Vali or Valhalla for some tube love. The 1st two have a very small form factor. | |
| I Am Not an Audio Snob 2 Schitt Sys in service. I no of no better device for what it does. Thinking of trying a Vali or Valhalla as a tube buffer, but that is another story. |
