| Passive preamp CD standard output via RCA is 2 Volts and the HDCD standard output via RCA is 2.2 Volts, many don’t play be the rules. Some are over and some are under.Yes that was the Redbook standard way back in early 80’s when it was first stated by Philips. F... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? George don’t like odyssey monos, and feels they are inferior and a poor amplifier, that’s ok. Not just me, but any audio tech will tell you, when you bridge a stereo amp into mono "everything takes a hit" except you get more watts. | |

| DAC's with volume control question Every dac up to my current one (Lumin X1) that had volume capability seemed to reduce detail (reduced bits). You turn them down too much. < 75% of full up = "Bit Strippping"In that case, use a $49 Schiit Sys after the dac, to set the level, so... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming I’ve found that the SQ of my red book CDs exceeds that of streaming using the identical recordings for comparison. One word, compression. Either by the streaming company to save on size when streaming.Or because they used the compressed later rele... | |
| Is Luxman a poor man's D'Agostino ? jjss49 I never could find the Dan D’Agostino Progression Stereo amp review. Does anyone know where it is? Specifically, the one that Terry did. https://www.stereophile.com/content/dan-dagostino-progression-mono-monoblock-power-amplifierCheers Ge... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? You honestly have no idea what your on about, if it were just about wattage, just go get yourself one of these 4000w!!! for $450!!! and you’ll be happy.https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-NX6000-Power-Amplifier/dp/B07JJKV6JH So what you’re arguing a... | |
| Schiit order issue - anyone receiving shipments? Schiit's issues with communication or issues fulfilling orders is hardly an indicator of "financial issues." It's likely the opposite as due to brilliant design and the very high regard they've garnered as a high end company with fair pricing...... | |

| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? So, please @georgehifi stop BS about Odyssey if you even didn’t listen or test those amps. Sorry but obvious, if you knew but don’t, what happens to all measurable parameters that make for good amps, they all go backwards when an amp is bridged (m... | |
| The guru on fuses: Attempting to equate these two things only shows your lack of knowledge and proves my point about who advocates for fuses. He's probably the dumbest of all the fusers here, as he "tries to justify" his stupidity.Cheers George | |
| Audiophile Fuses: Helpful or "Snake Oil"? invalid122 posts02-14-2021 1:40amI can’t use an SR fuse in my amp it has a breaker.These **** ***** fusers here will have you believe a $150> is better for sound than that circuit breaker, because the fuse "they say" is "directional" even thoug... | |
| The guru on fuses: We all know you can’t hear the difference so why oh why do you need to waste our time with your insulting negativity. To counter the snake oil, voodoo, BS told here by shilling fusers.Seeing it's the Chinese New Year of the Ox, everything needs th... | |
