| DAC with multiple selective digital inputs i'm not interested in the Oppo I feel for that kind of money a stand alone DAC is the way to go. and the sony is actually very good for what I need as far as picture quality and as it only outputs digital audio, I can tailor the sound to the DAC. ... | |
| Correct way to attach speaker wires... Wait, what!!! geoffkat you are correct | |
| Correct way to attach speaker wires... Wait, what!!! Better to solder the connection to the spade or bananas you get a much higher contact area and it will stay secure longer then a simple crimp. Also more corrosion resistant. tin'd bare wire is also good or even bare wire. In the industrial militar... | |
| DAC with multiple selective digital inputs Yah I use room on my pc so very familiar with it that's a good call | |
| DAC with multiple selective digital inputs Oh should note my systems is a 2 channel system only, I only have my TV and Blue Ray in the mix as I live in a loft and do not have a separate TV room so the one area does it all. I do use the Sony player as a CD-SACD player as well as it is a mul... | |
| Need suggestions for streaming files to my stereo audioquest dragonfly black if your using your computer or Red if your using a handheld device. $200 USB DAC uses your current computer and makes it sound a whole lot better. when your budget allows for more elaborate set up you can keep the Dragon... | |
| Schiit Mani - Sent in for repair, no response. Looking for rec's on a replacement preamp some one mentioned the IFI iphono2. I just got one a couple weeks ago as a stand in until I can afford the Manly steelhead ( saving saving). and to be honest it punches way above its price range i'm quite pleasantly surprised by how good it sounds... | |

| Would anyone like a tube hour counter for amps that don't have this function ? Tube amp and preamp manufacturers had tube shields over just about every small signal tube in their products for years with little to no degrigation so the idea that nothing should touch a tube is not a valid idea. I’ve got tubes out of old Scott ... | |
| Lesson Learned Thanks or the reminder if anything that's what your post is, like a good kick in the butt to remind us to listen with our own ears... | |
| Turntable and Rack vibration control I also have a Garrard 301 in a custom bamboo plinth and i found if you put anything under it that was squishy you would lose focus. the best solution I've got so far is a sturdy three legged stand with 165lb slab of granite on top then the table, ... | |
| Top integrated with MC phono section Here is a few that come to mindVinnie Rossi LIO is wonderful and the phono stage is really good not to mention a whole host of other options as you build it as you need. Luxman integrated's have a fine phono stageAcuphase may still have a MC secti... | |
| Replacing 80's receiver with Schiit Saga or Freya + ?? well after reading about the Vidar I'd like to know how it eventually sounds. but that said if you ever intend to drive 2 as mono blocks you need a preamp that will do " true balanced, differential outputs" and the Freya will do that not the NAD. | |
| "10 Recommended Turntables".... there is a couple there for entry level people getting into Vinyl that are not too bad. Rega, maybe the better crossly ( maybe) and the Fluance RT81 looks promising for $250. so not all bad but remember the buyer here is either just starting out ... |
