Pass labs aleph 0 monoblocks .... convert voltage?
Pass labs aleph 0 monoblocks .... convert voltage?anyone knows if they can be converted to 120v?... Thanks!!BernardobsandovalbYou need to email Pass Labs, and ask:"Did they use a power transformer with "multiple primary taps"If so then yes it can ... 
Different gain on 2 amps.
1. Any ideas on how I can boost up the preamp output from the VAC preamp to the CJ power amp so as to equalize the volumes in both rooms? Like I said put a Schiit Sys passive on the amp/speakers that's loudest, and drive the passive with the Vac p... 
Different gain on 2 amps.
@otto1234Just use a Shiit Sys for $49 on the input of the highest gain amp. That way you can balance them both perfectly to your own ear.http://schiit.com/products/sys Cheers George 
HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner.

Schiit Yggdrasil Upgrades
The only way to know for sure is to trace the signal. Good luck with that, being a multi layered PCB.Or you can believe what  Mike Moffat, formerly of Theta said about the  description of the circuit topology, that the Yggdrasil:Quote: "is direct ... 
Schiit Yggdrasil Upgrades
From the Yggdrasil circuitry explanation"direct coupled throughout"Sorry but direct coupled, means it’s dc coupled throughout, this means, "no caps" in the signal path, sorry to say someone’s having a lend of you. The Wima’s are all to do with pow... 
Dan D'agostino classic stereo amp + Dartzeel NHB-18NS
tube like warmth??? That means colouration to me. It should sound the most neutral, compared to others.If it behaves anything like an LDR based passive volume control which it sort of is, it does have a small gain section which I believe can be sw...

D’agostino Classic Stereo power ampThat amp would be great to drive the OP's Thiel 3.7 evil load with, should sound great.http://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/1208T37fig1.jpg Cheers George 
Dan D'agostino classic stereo amp + Dartzeel NHB-18NS
NHB-18NS’s while the output impedance was a high 2500 ohms at low and midrange frequencies, rising to 3080 ohms at 20kHz, the output impedance a little high for some power amplifiers.The NHB is sort of like a highly glitzed up Lightspeed Attenuato... 
How does Yamaha CD S2000 reproduce super audio?
willlandThe Yamaha CD-S1000 uses the PCM1796 DAC chip.You know, all CD’s and SACD’s are not created equal.Go over to this website and see if some of your CD’s and SACD’s are listed and look at the DR values of each.Here is a great example of a CD ...

Question for Amp Designers
I’m not an amp designer, but have built many tube and s/s for myself and friends.There are too many parameters/factors to list that can do the above. Just a couple for the "laid back, mellow, & slower" can be.limited bandwithhigh impedance out...
