| Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it? dtximages OP Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it? I’m talking CD’s here. To me remasters usually sound worse, because they are usually more compressed than the original. I always buy the earliest cd’s using the cat no, used on ebay, ... | |
| DAC plus Preamp or DAC-Preamp or DAC-Volume Control ? 20k,eu preamp, that's definitely not a budget priced Freya. Enjoy.Cheers George | |

Keep your Denafrips Terminator R2R DAC it's a very fine dac, one of the best I've had the pleasure to hear along with the Holo Spring R2R.And get a Schiit Freya 3 preamps in one... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss dutchydog What is it with you and Pass? I think you must work for pass labs competition. +1 it's getting kinda scary. | |
| Advice on Krell amplifier The Krell would be the easy winner here. +1 for the Krell, and it will drive anything now, or later you hook it up to.Cheers George | |
| Anthem STR vs Benchmark AHB2 Kef say their R11 is 90db and able to run on a 15w amp, and bi-amp’ableI’d be looking maybe at the "Class-A" Aegir on the mids and highs, and maybe the Vidar or ABH2 on the bass, with a $39 Sys on the input of the louder amp so you can balance the... | |

| Classe CA-2100 - LED turn red, Amp shuts down, LEFT side of the Amp is extremely hot! He’s going to have to get a probe onto the under side of those emitter resistors, looks real hard, unless the speaker terminal works.Strongly suggest "insulated mini long hook-on probes", connect first then turn on, and visa versa.Also imhififan d... | |
| Classe CA-2100 - LED turn red, Amp shuts down, LEFT side of the Amp is extremely hot! Me thinks you'll need a service manualIt looks very tight in there to get meter probes on to the emitter resistors which I can't even make out. And there look to be blue trimpots all over the place!!, good luck finding the bias one with out the ma... | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? We can never judge hifi audio components with bunch of numbers (measurements). It’s what all "good" designers use to make their components, yes they also listen at the end and change those "numbers/measurements" to suit.There is no voodoo involve... | |
| Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir? I would never bridge two amps, unless all I needed was more PA watts and prepared to take a hit on every other parameter, including sound quality.I would use the Aegir just on the mids and highs, and use a Vidar on the bassCheers George | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? From Nelson Pass, "I have numerous designs using ZGNFB" This is zero "global" negative feedback, just like Ayre is trying to make you believe by shortening it and saying Zero Feedback. Both will then have to be using a "local feedback loop" around... |
