| What need a CDP and an integrated amp to go with my Graham LS-9 speakers Have you considered just getting a very good DAC and something like the blue sound vault 2. I think In the long run that’s a better why for your dollar spent. Disc Spinners are dead when vinyl is out selling cd’s time to ditch the cd transports an... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 I think they tended to build to a higher quality level years ago then they do now. The quality of design and construction not to mention they used the best parts available at the time. as the years go on the market is more about replacement then... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? I think your making a big mistake only considering amps with a built in DAC. as digital is currently the most volatile music source, as in changing the quickest. and there are some very good DAC's out there for not much money that will inevitably ... | |
| What is your favorite budget audio component? IFI iphono2 great bargain for $500, Sansui TU 717 / 919 Tuners amazing sound for next to nothing money ( add some new Caps and you have a giant killer),Finale Audio tube amps are a wonderful sound for dollar deal. | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. one last thing remove and re- install all your cables as the connections will degrade over time due to corrosion. simply remove them and put them back on looking also for any build up of corrosion and remove if needed. | |
| Pre amp with Dac is having the DAC inside your preamp a must as you really are losing out on many great used Preamps and DAC as separates. having an outboard DAC also lets you upgrade the DAC down the road. DAC's Are getting smaller by the year and could easily b... | |
| Devore O/96 vs Volti Rivals May I add another speaker you should consider. the Living Voice speaker line very good deals to be made due to the low UK $. I heard the set i bought (the Avatar 2's mid range of the line) beside the 0/96's and i felt the LV's were faster, more de... | |
| 'Quietest place on Earth' anechoic chamber FYI0 db is the human threshold of hearing. so that’s why you can have negative db as the negitive is sound that is below human hearing. I argue the space center in Florida is the "quietest - Loudest" place on earth. just think ambient sound levels... | |
| Questions : Selling here for the first time I’ve shipped back and forth across the Canada-USA border many times and its not as daunting as some would say. it really boils down to how you ship it. generally if the buyer is paying for the shipping cost (as they should) they should ship across... | |
| PROAC RESPONCE 2 replacement drivers ??? have you tried ProAc?if they don't have them ask them what they recommend to use as a replacement. | |
| How expensive are best NOS tubes ? And how difficult to find ? One more thing to consider is the tube equipment you are potentially going to buy. tube manufactures will run the voltages at different levels depending on the use and power they are trying to get. lightly taxed tubes will last significantly long... | |
| Need help selecting a system with Tidal streaming (Maybe MQA) and speakers for around $1k. one question I have is do you really need MQA in a Budget system that’s only temp? could save some there if you skip the MQA requirement. Also no one seems to think out side the box here and pairing a streamer like the Oppo and a quality vintage r... | |
| Looking for a good DAC under $500 Shirt, parasound, IFI , all make good budget DACs | |
| Would you buy a 12-14 year old Integrated? 12-15 years isn’t old by any means. 20-25 years before you even need to thing of caps and even then most will go for another 10 or more. Just had a sansui tuner totally rebuilt caps and selected parts upgraded cost me $500 parts and a good tech ma... | |
| Step down transformer (220V to 100/110V) or buy 220V version of Shindo preamp I ran a Japan voltage (100v) Luxman amp with a step down and it worked great. Just get a quality on with double the power rating your amp is rated at. That’s the power usually on the back of the amp as you want the usage power rate not the out put... |
