| Is Pre-Amp needed https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=377&v=Dh27E7YKN9sI guess it depends on your definition. If your DAC/Source has a volume control then you are using a preamp. It may be rudimentary or elaborate but it is nonetheless a preamp. Some Da... | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? @astelmaszek Best wishes and I'm glad we can agree to disagree, which is cool. The Dave and the Focals are a great match, they play to each other's strengths.By the way, how come Chord doesn't demonstrate their dacs with the free usb cables they p... | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? @astelmaszek Get 2 identical dacs, get a $5 USB cable and just a mid tier USB cable and feed them both with a Roon feeding both the same music. switch between them on your pre and I promise they will sound different. I’m not saying which will be b... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. "Does MP3 sounds better with better DAC than red book CD?"No. | |
| Selling Tubes. Ive always found that Brent Jessee is fair in his prices paid. He has to make a profit but he also tests, grades and sells a high quality tube. I typically sell to him for credit and buy from him to fill a need. | |
| Spam threads gone wild... Wait a minute! You mean these myriad of posts aren’t really standing by to solve my financial woes, solidify my marriage or enhance my love life while recommending a nice movie to take in? | |
| Are many audiophiles only seeking approval of the next purchase? Often I get the impression that many are looking for validation of a purchase they've already made. I've seen posts where people are hammering on some reviewer wanting to know when they were going to review the ABC Combo Dac and coffee maker. They... | |
| Schiit Freya Thump or pop sound Good luck, keep listening and be sure to share the fun with others! | |
| Schiit Freya Thump or pop sound Dont forget your subs should be cycled on/off in the same order as your amplifier. | |
| Kingko KA-101 Integrated Tube Amplifier Yes it does. As a matter of fact, it sounds terrific that way. | |
| Kingko KA-101 Integrated Tube Amplifier Just an update. This amp is really coming into its own. I have no affiliation whatsoever and have been using the Kingko daily for over a month. I have several really nice tube integrateds: an Audio Research GSI75 (currently for sale), a Leben CS30... | |
| Hey RICH Audiophiles My point was, in general, the super wealthy aren’t the ones buying “exorbitantly high priced systems”. Super wealthy audiophiles who do happen to buy super high end dont typically need to tweak. They get what they want and dont fuss around.Again, ... | |
| Hey RICH Audiophiles @1extreme Your post is not accurate. You assume so much and like many times in life, the assumptions are drawn from incomplete data or incorrect assumptions. Your version of rich may not be a completely accurate picture.Super successful people, in... | |
| Hey RICH Audiophiles My 1st 911, a sub 20,000 mile preowned 1984 Carrera Targa. It had been owned by the chief engine builder/engineer for the Chaparral Can Am and then Indy Car race team. I was told he took the entire drivetrain apart when he took delivery new and we... | |
| Hey RICH Audiophiles I prefer the 1960 Porsche 356b Abarth Carrera over any 911 ever produced. I've been fortunate to own a few 911's over the decades and I would trade them all for the 356b Carrera. |
