| Review: Nobsound Mini Fully Balanced / Single Ended Passive Pre-Amplifier Ironically.... This Nobsound passive has become the standard by which I evaluate other preamps. I use the balanced connections. Listen with a Yggdrasil DAC, Audience 1+1V2 speakers, and a Nuprime ST-10. The balanced cables are WyWires blue. The No... | |

| Recommendation for DAC needed. Who here actually uses MQA much, if at all? Some act as if a DAC does not play it it can be no good. Most will never use it. Keep in mind. Some DAC's provide upgrade capacity if it ever catches on. Features do not necessarily correlate with wh... | |

| Hi Fi Tuning fuses its as simple as this.... If you have a type of system that will allow for it? Fuses will make a difference in what is heard. I have switched a few things around, and I was not be able to detect and fuse differences. That is why this debate never ... | |
| could somebody help me out on the benefits of expensive phono and speaker cables? Price brings mostly the outward appearance differences.There are three distinctly different sounding speaker cables.Regular stranded copper.Solid wire.True Litz (type 2).Each one will sound different than the others. Each one can be constructed to... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? While I am obviously impressed with this high end digital cable and strongly encourage others to audition it, I am puzzled how the cable transporting digital information to my DAC from my transport makes such a big difference.Though the impulse... | |
| Can this be good first tube amplifier? What is my opinion about it?I have listened to three different brands quality tube amps. All three sounded entirely different than the other. No one can tell you. And, if they could tell you what they think? You will still have no idea if you will... | |
| Turning off tube preamp first sends solid state amp into protection? If you have separates the rule is always turn the amp off first, not the preamp. Otherwise you can easily get the same problem, be it solid state, or tube. It makes no difference. Shutting off the preamp while the amp is on sends a spike to the ... | |
| If you could just pick one instrument that you think sounds best on your speakers This can be very misleading.... Speakers are only the tail end. What precedes them can make a speaker into an entirely different creature. Even speaker placement can change its character. Be that as it may... In my system. One speaker stands out. ... | |
| My first Tube Amplifier My first tube amplifier was a *used* MC275. Today a classic. It was a trade in.. I used to sell audio and was also able to secure with a salesman's accommodation a new Luxman tube amp. Back then they were not well known. No one knew about burni... | |

| Why do people buy preamps if they can directly connect amp to stereo source/phone/PC/tv? A good preamp can introduce tubes into the sound. I also have a passive pre with the same Alps Blue. The tubes add a subtle difference that can be varied by rolling tubes. Yet, the passive is no slouch either. I am running balanced interconnec... | |
| best preamps I can not recommend Best preamps because that company went out of business years before I could afford one. Sometimes you can find a used one on Ebay for a cheap and may be worth a go to find out for yourself first hand. Why a Best preamp? T... | |
