| Cary SLP-05 with Pass Labs X-250 dpac996 did many thing right but the overall balance was too hot / forward in the upper midrange. As with the OP's amp it will roll of early in the bass, not quite as much as the OP's amp, as your friends x250.5 is a little higher input impe... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? mickstuh Just to test before shelling out, I plugged my passive Schiit Sys into the Halcro. The Schiit outputs up to 5K ohm (not dissimilar I believe to the most the Lightspeed puts out). Hi Mick, thank you very much for the glowing review, es... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? toddverroneOne with a switch for different sources would be nice. Hi Todd.Yes it would be, but here’s the problem I have. The Lightspeed is all about not have any light contacts in the signal path, this includes volume controls and yes input or o... | |
| Mark levinson no.532h Not all 5 series were great.Mark Levinson makes great linear amps, all of them sound upper end audio, even the very old models.They did stick their foot into Class-D with the hideously expensive $50K No.53 Class-D monoblocks, credit to them tryin... | |
| Directionality of wire His silence is deafening on this, could it really be? Geoff if your reading.Yes you can stay silent and not be punished and we’ll never know.But honestly are you one? It would explain quite a bit.Cheers George | |
| Soekris DAC1541 discrete R2R 27bit Multibit! Best Redbook DAC? and Native DSD. but there's no US based sales location or site as of yet. Strange I though it was designed in the US and built in Denmark, you'd think they have a US outlet.Cheers George | |
| Directionality of wire Just don't call him a Scientologist. Geoff, no joking around now, are you one of those?Cheers George | |
| Directionality of wire I think it's funny how when Geoffkait doesn't like my posts he reports them. Yeah the forum police must be over him, then he is 75 going on 40 https://i.pinimg.com/736x/14/dd/c0/14ddc062b356122bdc338f9a7bdab4b3--history-images-hearing-aids.jpg ... | |
| Linestage search charles1dad It appears that George may have confused the 2 different products No, it's the Jumbo Shrimp.Hey just going from the Manly website on their Jumbo Shrimp product under specs. and it states switchable gain from 45dB or 60dB and they... | |
| Directionality of wire Don't flatter yourself sunshine. | |
| Directionality of wire Gee, I was wondering why my room is green and walls are padded. Whoa! At least now we're all aware that you know you have a problem.Cheers George | |
| Directionality of wire committable You should consider it, before they come and take you. Cheers George | |
| Are there differing qualities of optical cable? Whatever type of optical you use, try a drop of the "indexing gel" with it as it couples the optical fibre end to the internal receiver minimising any refection, thus reducing jitter.https://www.newport.com/f/index-matching-fluid Cheers George | |
| Linestage search rafacampodonico Be careful with the Manley as it has minimum gain of 45db max of 60db and with the input sensitivity of your EAR's being only 1.2v for full output, you could be very low on the volume control for very loud level playback leaving... | |
| Soekris DAC1541 discrete R2R 27bit Multibit! Best Redbook DAC? and Native DSD. Actually, the same dac but without balanced output is the DAC1421 and it’s only 735euro = $853usd.In those exhaustive tests it said the single ended output measured slightly quieter than the balanced anyway.Cheers George |
