| The under appreciated impedance curve The under appreciated impedance curve Under appreciated?? I don’t think so, to those that find/look and know how to use it.I believe "it" together with the combined "-phase angle" curve (EPDR) if hard to drive, "becomes the no1 criteria" to selec... | |
| Difference Between DAC Types Another vote for Holo audio Spring Dac. R2R ladder in NOS mode-heaven From me too, and that was the level 2 I heard, NOS mode richer mids tighter extension in the bass, and the highs were extended, delicate and had better harmonic decay than O... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? Yes typo "Black Beauty" if you came through Audio 70's/80's you know all about the Alps Black Beauty and Blue Velvet. https://www.google.com/search?q=Alps+%22Black+Beauty%22&rlz=1C1CHZL_enAU820AU820&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&v... | |

| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? Are the Hi-Fi Tunning fuses counterfeit? How do you counterfeit BS, ah yes, with more BS.Cheers George | |
| TA-102 fo.Q Product from Japan "TRY These" jkbtn46 posts04-26-2019 5:32amIt's called "snaked-oil-induced-placebo-effect". Don't waste your money folks. +1, it's just the thing for the gullible, it's https://youtu.be/YTY26k0CA0I?t=4Cheers George | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? It all over the place, they say 50k input but don’t say which one, which means a 50k pot. Could be the cheap 24mm they have, as you can’t see the value on it.But the pic if you zoom on the Alps (Blue Velvet) says 100kohm A taper (log) pot and it w... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? Cleaner than the Sys...Ebay item # 253818627052...HiFi version. $40 or less, shipped. About what you would pay to build one. Promise.. Trouble is the minimum 1:10 impedance ratio.It shows a 100kohm Alps passive!!!! and that will be a problem not ... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... alexb76 O Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... It was mentioned to me at a show that the impedance of the A3 and V3 are very similar.If you have a look at this impedance curve, it doesn't suit tube amps right though the bass and also at 4khz,... | |
| Replacement Amp For Audio Research Classic 60 I looked up the ARC D115 MKII and it appears to be a nightmare to Bias so I need to pass on this recommendation but it was appreciated. The tube biasing is no more complicated than any other push pull tube amp, 65mA each output tube, done by th... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? For late night listening, I currently have a Schiit EQ (Loki) in the effects/tape loop connection of the Rogue. I just boost the lower frequencies a little...basically I use it as a loudness switch. Since the EQ has "true" bypass, I can just use... | |
| Replacement Amp For Audio Research Classic 60 djohn Replacement Amp For Audio Research Classic 60 I’ve heard quite a few AR amps in Australia, new and old, and the one that sticks in my head is the AR D115 mkII, it had all AR is known for, yet the bass I heard was like it was big solid stat... | |

| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? I was watching a PS Audio video where the owner was saying digital volume controls , like many dacs and PS Audio preamps have, are better. Source digital domain volume controls are the best, but! You need to be careful that if you attenuate to... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? Yes +1 pdreher if you like the sound of your source, a lot of money is saved this way, as all preamps have their own colourations, and you need to go through a few before getting the right one you like, why not just do the same with the source and... |
