| Berkeley Dac 2 or PS audio DSD or Schiit Yggs? No manufacturer I know calibrates and adjusts their product/s after a days of being turned on, they all do it at most after one maybe two hours, some even do it cold. So if things change sound wise after many hours/days of being left on then, they... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but 1.6Kohm could also sound fine so long as the amp is still over 33kohm, because the 1.6kohm has to drive the combined load of passive + the amp. If you have say 33kohm amp and 10kohm passive that's a combined impedance the source sees of just under... | |
| Amp or speaker first, upgrade As for speakers, keep the Krell (tested at 2x190W 8ohms both channels driven and 324W into 4ohms) as I stated above, and get full range ESL’s (electrostatics) eg: ML cls/quad etc, or next best, full range ribbons eg: Maggies ect.And add a/some S... | |
| Is my room going to suck Good measurements for the basement all uneven numbers, and the big plus is a concrete floor which you should spike into with the speakers or speaker stands. Never ever spike into suspended floors, because the floor then acts as a sound board accen... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but dracule1 System matching with passive pre is critical indeed. It can make or break the soundYou are right dracule, but lets get the "critical matching" in perspectiveWe (most of passive users) are after nirvana, that’s why we persist with passives... | |
| Berkeley Dac 2 or PS audio DSD or Schiit Yggs? sundaram78A very good article for you to read seeing you about to pull the trigger on one, by JD and interview with Mike Moffat of Schitt Audio about Redbook (pcm) replay and R2R Multibit dac conversion.http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2016/01/ze... | |
| Experience with AMR DP-777 Ask Kuei Yang Wang in the link I posted above, he is Thorsten Losche the designer of the AMR products. Cheers George | |
| Amp or speaker first, upgrade Amp or speaker first, upgradeI would do speakers first, as your Krell even though it’s a smaller one it still has good current, being Bi-Polar(BJT) output stage, and will drive most speakers out there and it’s not a bad amp, very good in fact. If ... | |
| Berkeley Dac 2 or PS audio DSD or Schiit Yggs? sundaram78 Berkeley Dac 2 or PS audio DSD or Schiit Yggs?Sundram hi, if you are using Redbook CD(pcm) or downloading PCM then you can't go passed the Yggs as it is r2r multibit and able to convert pcm "bit perfect" compared to the other two which... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but You’ve got all the voltage gain and current you need in the sources today, as they all have the ability to overdrive all amps, any more and your just turning it down with the VC. Look at the input sensitivity of amps then look at the output of sou... | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? My experience is the best Isobaric setup is a sealed (no port ala Linn Isobaric speaker)), but the box then needs to be bigger to get the lowest frequencies.Cheers George | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Best type of Sub to consider?For the tightest, punchiest, most detailed lows, it would be expensive but the best would be a "Isobaric" designed sub, it will be large also too get the LF down low. You’ll to have deep pockets and have to search to s... | |
| Best DAC for over 2000 hgeifman: Remember to calibrate the maximum output voltage, so Bricasti M1’s volume control is used in it’s top 1/4 of full output, so there’s no chance of "bit stripping" when the volume is use too low.My friend has one of these and also uses it... | |

| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but Sounds cynical I know, but he is selling his latest BHK Preamplifier design through P.S. Audio. Why wouldn't he say this now, and not back then when he probably heard much better as well. This clip doesn't convince me one iota.For the ultimate tra... |
