| heavy metal Kyuss fan from the very beginning. don’t listen to as much metal these days other than a recent bout of early Norwegian death metal. For me it’s either reggae or power noise these days. Women are killing it in the noise genre. It’s an exci... | |
| Zavfino Anyone have experience with their headshell leads? | |
| Audio envy - dang! I have SP-11's shipping any day now. Very happy with all my AE cables 😎 Are there better? Sure. But I'm happy and it feels good to finish the system I started building 5 years ago | |
| If the critical mass2 one of the top 3 footers to install into ones system? Im selling a bridge if you’re that eager to spend cash. 👍🏼 | |

| Describe your preference in a single sentence Medium to short height, redhead, fluent in Fletch-isms, quoter of John Hughes films and lover of the Jesus and Mary Chain, Sisters of Mercy and The Smiths. Oh you meant audio-wise…. | |
| Holo Serene vs Denafrips Athena (anyone compared these preamps?) @tmac1700 yes through the single ended. Since the Athena only has 1 set of RCA’s I upgraded my DAC to something balanced. As for me, I listen at roughly 80-85db and that’s at 27 on the Athena’s dial (out of 60). My power amp has 31db of gain and... | |
| Best E88CC for a brutal subbass experience? I had some Philips tubes that rolled off the top a little but the bass was frickin’ bottomless. I believe they were 5965 (in place of 12AT7). They weee also slightly taller so I couldn’t shut the lid. Got them from Brent Jesse. | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @tyray yes my system has had way too much gain (99db speakers) so I didn’t need any more. The unity gain works great and is dead quiet. That’s a first for me. The 12db attenuators are out of the system. It goes louder than I can play it so I’m go... | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good Not much of a Radiohead fan but IMO OK Computer is possibly the best pop record ever, followed by M83’s Hurry Up We’re Dreaming and Elvis Costello’s This Year’s Model. | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition I made the thread open ended so future people’s will find it and read the wealth of info here. It’s true the thread was to help me find MY new preamp but this way it will continue to benefit others for the foreseeable future. that s... | |
| Adding headphone amp with no fixed out (preamp) @soix Denafrips Athena. Was pondering an Artemis (though may not want to spend that much). | |
| Review of Quadratic MC-1 SUT With Comparisons to Other SUTs People who want their SUT to "get out of the way" might really love these. But if you go too far into that philosophy, then pretty soon you're constantly talking about "wire with gain", upgrading your cabling to Monoprice, abandoning all vinyl fo... | |
| From Topping D30 to ??? (XLR/Balanced) @fuzztone I saw that one but sadly I would need an optical in and if possible a coax (for the future disc spinner). I’d settle for just optical though. This unit has optical out which I don’t understand the need for but I’m not much into digi... | |
