| Most transparent power amp awence_carpio Wilson Audio Sasha break-in time ? I take it from this speaker thread you started, you have the Sasha’s, then my last statement in the 3rd paragraph," and one that is able to drive your speakers without becoming a tone control." sh... | |
| Most transparent power amp Most transparent power amp You’ll just get personal favourites asking this.But if you want to do some of your own homework, you may get what you asked.Pick an amp with low output impedance, with the lowest distortion without having to resort to ... | |
| high frequency intermittent noise Why didn't he just get linear wall warts instead of the SMP ones? Would have been cheaper.Cheers George | |
| Looking for a good DAC under $500 +1 for the Schiit, schiit.Cheers george | |
| New CDP or standalone DAC...? tomcarr I found only one SACD/CD player that has also a proper PMD200 HDCD chip in it as well for HDCD Cd's, and that is the CLASSE AUDIO OMEGA SACD http://audio.asablo.jp/blog/img/2012/05/06/1fa5cf.jpg https://www.stereophile.com/hirezplayers... | |
| New CDP or standalone DAC...? but I do want to play SACDs and HDCDs. MQA seems interesting too. Don't think you find something that has proper hdcd PMD100 or PMD200 chips and do sacd as well, let alone mqa also.Cheers George | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? +1 for ATC's specially their actives, but all ATC's "can" sound a bit cold for some.Or for something a bit warmer yet still very dynamic with great depyh and sound stage most Wilson Watt/Puppy's, series 7 are my favourites.Cheers George | |
| Tube Amplifier for Thiel unjc I owned Thiel 3.6 and the more power (current) the better they sounded because they are mostly 2ohms for most of the audio band and only 85db efficient . Look for a quality solid state amp as Thiel states of 100-500w and I would also look ... | |
| Room Response Then I placed a ten-pack of Synergistic Research around the room as directed. Walla, room problems solved. And a partridge in a pear tree. Give me a break, more fuser voodoo from SR, pack of 10 is $500!!!!!!!https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0577... | |
| New CDP or standalone DAC...? New CDP or standalone DAC...? Given same d/a converter in both and implemented the same way, then it’s best to go CDP, rather than separates. As when you have separates both dac a transport have their own clocks and are not sync’ed to each other... | |
| Anyone using a Mytek Brooklyn or Manhattan (I or II) DAC as a preamplifier? I don’t understand why more quality DACs don’t allow the option of connection to a preamp or integrated amp. They may make preamps as well, so not in their best interest to do it, so use a passive.Cheers George | |
| RCA Caps I would wager there some not so technical, that would put shorting plugs on an output, they’d remove it fairly quickly as there’d be very little to no sound from the other output, self healing (teaching) for those, and to only try them on inputs.C... | |
| RCA Caps if memory serves Gave yourself an out there sunshine. Cardas caps on unused inputs/outputs on the TV and other non-audio components like the cable box helped the sound, too. Bollocks!!! is this more voodoo from your leader/maker David Miscavige C... | |
| Just purchased a Belles 150A Reference amp. Watch should my preamp be.. Looking into the Schitt Freyr It doesn’t have a phono stage in it, but they do make one, the MC or MM Mani that has a nice low 75ohm output impedance and adjustable gain settings. So you'd need both the Freya and the Mani.http://www.schiit.com/pr... | |
| Just purchased a Belles 150A Reference amp. Watch should my preamp be.. What would an acceptable small amount of gain? Still something like the Freya, would be the best as it’s the only one I know of with low or nothing gain, and you have the choice of tube, solid state or passive output. And it's remote volume with ... |
