| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms @petaluman The "hypex" of streamers is raspberry pi. | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms @badgerdms Indeed, there are a number of streamers anchored by the open source flexibility of the raspberry pi variants. There are others which utilize a more sophisticated cpu setup but Linux seems to be OS of most. I can imagine that many of t... | |
| First Streamer... If your top line budget is $2k then @ghdprentice gave solid advice. If I were in your shoes I would consider the Bluesound feeding your Rega and save the rest for when its time to upgrade. Bluesound seems to be the gateway drug to streaming althou... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 @smodtactical I found the ref5se was a more visceral, tactile preamp with a little more flesh. I also disliked strongly the volume on ref6 which came on entirely too strong out of the gate. Zero was no sound, 10 was VERY loud. Its my understa... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 @smodtactical @ghdprentice I’ve owned the Ref5se three times through the years, simply an extraordinary preamp that bridges the gap between the ARC of yesteryear and the ARC of today. In fact, I preferred it to the Ref6. I have also ... | |
| Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please. @larrykell you are making this too hard. Almost any amp will do. You seem to be worried about the speaker cable lugs fitting and you can look for a LOOOOONG time before you THINK they might fit. In the meantime you could buy a reasonable amp,... | |

Help, please. @larrykell If you cant get a loaner amp, may I suggest it almost doesnt matter what you purchase for the short duration of getting your Gryphon serviced. Buy a decent preowned amp that has reasonable demand when it comes time to resell. There... | |
| Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please. Is the amp you purchase to tide you over going to get sold when your Gryphon returns or will you keep it for the occasional "something different" mood that plagues so many of us? What is your budget for your given scenario? | |
| Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please. Yes...sounds like the right channel to your amp. Im a tube guy myself but you will be very surprised with some of the better engineered class d amplification. Atmasphere has come out with a new pair of small monoblocks but maybe your dealer has a ... | |
| Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please. @larrykell How do I figure out if the problem is in the amplifier, preamp, or interconnects? See my third paragraph on in my post above. | |
| Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please. Hi @larrykell Sorry to hear about your troubles, first world or otherwise, and I hope your hip is mending according to plan. First thing to do would be to isolate to a particular channel so swap your speaker cables from left to right and ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @ricevs Yes, Ralph is correct and the others are wrong. Ralph solved the unsolvable with his original OTL design. He worked on his design for years until he solved the technical challenges. Who are you to question his credibility? Who are you to p... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @kuribo You were doing a poor job earlier in this thread masking your Purifi bias. Now, you have removed all doubt. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Don't you wish Kenjit would chime in??? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Does anyone know what happened to @orpheus10 |
