| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Parasound JC-1s and felt it was a little leaner than with a preamp. Would this be the same thing? Any active preamp will impart it’s own colouration on the source, and they all sound so different, that’s why so many chop and change these looking ... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. What makes you say that these to preamp’s are comparable? Didn’t say they were comparable, but what I did say is the Freya has the better volume control system of the two. And if you know me that’s what I’m heavily into with my product (passive p... | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. Putting your components inbetween your speakers. Good if you want to ruin your depth and sound staging ability.Cheers George | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Pass Labs XP 12 preamp Good choice also, even though it’s $5,800.00 nearly 10 x the price, but then if you’ve got it, spend it. It would be interesting to A/B the two! As the volume control in the Freya is better, being 128 positions relay contro... | |
| Which DAC? SFD-1 MKII/Bel Canto DAC1/MF A3.24 1. Sonic Frontiers SFD-1 MKII 2. Bel Canto DAC13. Musical Fidelity A3.24These are all Redbook CD (pcm) only dacs.I’d place them in that order that you’ve got, had them all at one time or another, owned or for mod work. SFD-MkII R2R Multibit, UA D2... | |
| Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes? I am running Wilson Maxx 3 speakers (91db) using D’Agostino Progression. The learning curve was quick as I found out that volume levels were not the same as when using a borrowed pair of ARC Ref 250 SE amps. I am amazed when listening to classic... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. bubba12 The 60.8 monos are on my short list also. Any comments on these amps are appreciated. Excellent choice Bubba, with the XA-60.8 monoblocks, they will have high biased into Class-A for a very nice sweet transparent sound. And they bat well... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions So what do you get for your $550? Two new analog boards with 4 really expensive DAC chipsSo from this it seems they are changing the dac's from the AD5791 to something else, you seem to be buddies with them gdhal ask them what the 4 new dac... | |
| Who do you like for equipment mods? barrysandy Who do you like for equipment mods? Modder's that publicly give the technical reasons why their mod betters what they are removing, and what they are putting in it's place, and what/why this may do better for the sound.Cheers George | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions "increased line driving capability", "Increased line drive" does not necessarily mean higher voltage output, otherwise it would have said higher voltage output.Better "drive" means just lower output impedance with even more current from what wa... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Hi George. Could you please provide your opinion as to the benefit (or detriment?) to be realized with an Yggdrasil that features "increased line driving capability (600 ohm OK)"? Can you speculate as to how this is an "improvement". Thanks. To m... | |

| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. I don't care how much my electric bill is if I can enjoy my system. Yeah, it's like owning a Ferrari and putting our cheapest ethanol based fuel in it, because it's better for the environment.CheersGeorge | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions The cost to upgrade is $550. Due to the need for firmware and hardware updates, Firmware changes should be free, and it already has discrete Class-A J-Fet buffers with an output impedance of 75ohms and enough voltage out to make just about any po... | |
| Wadia S7i not reading the contents of certain discs This apparently is the complete Sony DVD rom drive/laser used in the S7i, if you can find the model no. on your own one and search eBay, it very possible you could get it at least half or even quarter that price.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New... |
