| "Mytek Empire monoblock power amps, with GaN based technology." No, I don’t think so.If you go to that thread I say they (Mytek) mentions "higher switching", and I queery "But don’t give any details of the switching speed" then jwcondo says "It does indeed use the 1.5 mhZ switching frequency. I am a dealer and... | |

I am a dealer and I should be receiving the first one in Canada next week as they have landed on our shores.Excited to exper... | |

| Schiit Urd CD Transport vs Marantz CD6007 Player If Mike Moffat (Schiit owner) had anything to do with it, it will be a cracker. He's is the one that put Theta Digital on the hiend map.Cheers George | |
| R to r dacs Soekris 2541these have been sold out at mod house audio USA for about a year now, without update or info on future stocking. Covid stopped me from exporting, last one I sent took 3mts to get there. Maybe you can special order direct, or try ringin... | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? So, with less than capable speakers and headphones class AB can sound better ? Even if we are talking about excellent class A amp ? Who’s saying this rubbish, you get rid of transistor Class-B xover distortion when you bias higher into Class-A so ... | |
| "Mytek Empire monoblock power amps, with GaN based technology." Ask to have Tammy contact you That’s what was done, too late now this thread now stays.You’ll only get noise with high (100k) input impedance amps, if there’s nothing plugged into that input, which no-one would do anyway.Think I remember all Rouge... | |
| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year I agree entirely regarding sensitivity and impedance/phase angle This is why I always try to show Stereophile speaker impedance vs -phase angle graphs when recommending an amp for anyone.Instead of just blindly saying get this amp it's the be... | |
| Low gain dac! I tried Rothwell attenuators (after the pre), which did help with the noise but the sound lost life. That is what an impedance mismatch will do gryphongryph OP , not dangerous but not great for sound quality either.Cheers George | |
| Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ? Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ? You've just described the Lightspeed Attenuator to a tee.Cheers George | |
| Low gain dac! You sent him a picture of a speck .. https://eurostylesmallgoods.com.au/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Continental-Smoked-Speck-min.jpg Here is Six Moons thoughts on the Cabernet Maloney’s preamp philosophy, the Cabernet is a very high-gain device... | |
| Low gain dac! But still, my system sounds really great, that is not the problem, only more volume control is wished for 😜 Ok then get an amp that is 2v input sensitivity not .7v 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Or get rid of the high gain Supratek! | |
| Low gain dac! I find it humorous that the OP specifically ask for DAC recommendations, I find it humorous that some can’t tell the Primare dac’s (good dac btw) is not the problem, many give those voltages and more, mine gives 8v!!!. The problem if they bothered... | |
| "Mytek Empire monoblock power amps, with GaN based technology." Just got an email back from admin, they can’t do it. Input impedance is too low for many good tube preamps. 10k is just too low. I really dislike it when I see amps with input impedances that low. Just a shame and should be avoided by the builder... | |
| Low gain dac! speakermaster 4.3volts is more than enough Already tried to tell him that, will all the specs posted, (can’t see the forest for the trees) "tube addiction" his poweramp amp only needs 0.7v!!!!!!!!!!! in for full outputWent on EBay and bought 1 pa... |
