Thiel CS 3.6 vs 3.7 Just as a side bit of info, they are almost identical ***** to drive, you could almost overlay these two impedance v -phase angle plots. I owned the 3.6's they loved an amp with big current down to 2ohms, (that leaves Class-D, Mosfets and Tubes ou... | |
Amplifier suggestions please jumper75 OP I could stay in the Schiit catalog and go with a pair of Vidar’s Think about this, it could work very well, your speaker look great BTW with that planer midrange and ribbon tweeter and could be easily Bi-ampable with just a little mo... | |
Control volume with DAC or Preamp? Quite often the volume control in a preamp is better than one in a DAC This statement is false, it’s 50/50, and in case of a tube pre it’s more in favour of the solid state dac output stage Both the dac and preamp volumes can be adjusted by remo... | |
Best DAC I’m comfortable spending up to $2-3k for a significant improvement. Look at R2R Multibit dacs NOS or OS from Schiit, Denafrips, Holo. for that price range.Cheers George | |
Control volume with DAC or Preamp? wolverine1 OP My DAC (PS Audio Directstream) has a volume control and so does my preamp(Benchmark), of course. What’s the best way to control the volume of my system to get optimum sound Best quality least distortion and coloration, and best dyna... | |

defective pre-amp mwasilow When listening thru the headphone Jack I get lower volume than normal and lots of hiss. I take it you looked at this, sounds like your still muted, with hiss and low output level. The C47 Default Setting for using Headphones is to auto... | |

High end Class D amps? dodgealum Just starting to explore adding a sub to my system and wondering whether Class D is the way to go. jjss49 class d greatest strength is outstanding bass, so yes on that front Definitely the way to go, but there is a proviso, so long as ... | |
Class A or AB Solid State Integrated Amp for Spendor D9's - Coming from Tubes freesole OP I would still like to find a warmer/sweeter sound I think I will go for the Diablo 300 instead. I would go the Diablo also, if anything they have that non fatiguing, slightly darker Class-A sound.Here’s a great review.https://www.... | |
Preamp recommendation Schiit Freya + Yes now you’ve got it all.Passive or tube or solid state, single ended or balanced. with remote, I recommend these a lot.Cheers George | |
Preamp recommendation I bought a cheap passive from Amazon that was xlr to try. It was the Nobsound Mini Fully-Balanced/Single-Ended Passive Preamp. This is the circuit, for that Nobsound Fully Balanced.For it to be proper balanced the blue pot at the front would ne... | |
