| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Crowded House - WoodfaceHard to believe it came out 27 years ago. Still sounding very very fine.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ymg6t12Eqw | |
| Tube Line Stage Preamp to Drive Class D Amp Like I said, hope it works out for you, JB. Quiet at the least, though wondering how "tubular" :-) it will be for you compared to your PrimaLuna. On the other hand, it might make a nice combination with the NAD (use those balanced inputs!)."Folks ... | |
| Tube Line Stage Preamp to Drive Class D Amp You are welcome, JB. I've had the Freya going on 2 years now (p'chsd. Jan '17). No problems with it at all other than some noisy tubes when first received (Russian NOS) that Schiit promptly replaced. With well-screened tubes, it is very quiet (... | |
| Tube Line Stage Preamp to Drive Class D Amp JB - fwiw I’m using a Schiit Freya pre with a Merrill Audio Class D power amp (Taranis). Very happy with the resulting sound. I use balanced ICs to the Taranis. Early on, I listened mostly to the Freya’s JFET buffer mode. More recently, I got some... | |

| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. @maxima95 Bingo. I've had a similar question. The runs in all the various Morrow offerings ARE said to be individually isolated. How many runs does it take to become "Litz" or is there more to it than number of strands? e.g., packing density &a... | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. @fivechannelguy (and for @addyson815 ) - That's one of the things got me scratching my head; i.e., the move away from silver coated copper which I always thought was a key contributor to MA cable's "sound". I'm also wondering about the quality of... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? +2 on U.K. | |
| Auralic Aries Mini sporadic crackling/static on co axial output. Sorry. Can’t address your "crackle" problem with coax out. I didn’t notice anything like that during the brief time I used coax out. Mostly I use USB out to a Gungnir MB DAC via Oyaide USB cable. Primary reason for replying however is to confirm m... | |
| Driving Totem Acoustic Winds with Peachtree Grand Inegrated X-1(Class D) Amp ? No problem, Lars. The Winds are an impressive design. I do note the nominal 4 ohm impedance (does it dip lower?). The Forests only drop to 6 and are 8 ohm nominal. I also recall from a Totem You Tube video on the (Forest Signatures?) that Vinc... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Spent time earlier today renewing acquaintance with Steve Smith & Vital Information’s, "Come On In".Reading up on his discography, found quite a few albums available on Tidal. Greatly enjoyed VITALIVE (live recording from 1989) and, now, Heart... |
