| Recommend relatively obscure high end tube preamps Thanks Restock! I forgot to add ..the last time I spoke to Mikhail. He was designing tube adapters for his preamps. He said it was possible to try a huge variety of tubes/voltages just by popping in the inserts. Unfortunetly these adapters only wo... | |
| Recommend relatively obscure high end tube preamps I'll throw in the Single Power units.Ultimate Maestro SDS XLR. I have an upgraded prototype MPX3 SLAM the designer shipped too me to play with. I can only imagine what the top headamps/preamplifiers can do. 150lbs is a lot of preamp..this is a ser... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Great Bombaywalla !.. sounds like you got a terrific deal on this DAC. I'm glad you have the upgraded power supply.LOL... yes bad recordings still sound bad. ;-)Good listening! | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Undertow, I noticed the same thing when I changed from the basic 18 gauge PC over to a Belden 14 gauge PC on my DAC. I also heard an improvement when I plugged the unit directly in the wall verses into a power conditioner. I'm not a huge believer ... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? I agree battery power has its strengths. I also feel a well implemented power supply that runs off the mains can offer up serious competition. In some cases surpassing battery power in the dynamic areas. The condition of the mains from the start i... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Bombaywalla ,you should hear a DAC like this with a better power supply.I think you would be very surprised with how it sounds. The 12 volt wall transformer is meager at best. A toroidal based power supply is where it's at. | |
| Class A power amp will give the best BASS SLAM? The preamp plays a vital part in bass slam as well. A good preamp can give you added slam if the amplifier is up to the challenge. | |
| Center channel to match GMA Europa's This may seem like a crazy idea. How about just build yourself and open baffle center channel using the same midrange driver and tweeter used in the Europas? Or just grab a decent wide range driver or two and do the same thing. I know the midrange... | |

| Small form factor, budget DACs? FWIW, I've communicated with an owner of the Bel Canto 2.0. He also owns the 47 Labs 4715 Shigaraki.This NON OS DAC uses the same Dac chip found in the Audio Sector, Scott Nixon, Audio Mirror, Lite Audio and I would imagine a couple of other DACs.... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? I would add the Scott Nixon, Audio Note and Audio Sector DACS to the list. You owe it to yourself to experience NON OS done right. You may never look at oversampling DACs again. I haven't experienced anything up to several thousand I would trade m... | |
| what is jitter supposed to sound like? I could be wrong..but the power supplies and analog outputs in a player or DAC seem to make the largest impact in the sound. I agree that the jitter reduction does increase the focus of the soundstage. Better analog outputs and power supplies seem... | |
| Anyone heard these? How do they sound? Its been quite a while since I listened to these speakers. As I remember they were pleasant. I think Bojack's comments are pretty close to what I remember. They aren't boom boxes..in the right room I suspect they might work out nicely. Definitely ... | |
| Atma-Sphere amps with Eggleston Andra II's I've only heard the Eggleston Andra IIs with the big MAC 1200 wpc monoblocks. As you can guess they rocked pretty darn hard. From listening, the speakers do like a lot of power. | |
| Views of the Music Fidelity A300cr power amp? Rich does have a good point if comparing the MF to the Adcoms. I believe once you go Single Ended Class A with no negative feedback..it will be hard to go back to the MF sound. And impossible to go back to the Adcoms.LOL |
