| 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... | |
| Decware integrated It takes 2 weeks to even get orders on the docket. 1 year is a lie.I placed an order last march which was slated to be ready by the end of October and its looking more like April of this year. 13 months. At that time there were 350 jobs on the doc... | |
| Decware integrated 30 month wait. Just FYI | |
| FEDEX keeps destroying my New CARY 805RS Monoblocks - What can I do to prevent Nightmare? @rodagon part of my day job is logistics. We ship millions of dollars of product with FedEx and they are fubar’d. We ship tons of LTL (which is cheaper to ship at or more than 150lbs). If Cary is shipping groundi I’d get a refund a move on. That’... | |
| FEDEX keeps destroying my New CARY 805RS Monoblocks - What can I do to prevent Nightmare? Are they sending FedEx LTL? If not then shame on Cary. I agree with the above to go OD. Cary probably has a FedEx rep. I would get them to make calls and get it handled. I do it. | |

| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition Sorry all, had to take a break as all the research was settingmy hair on fire. I read a review for the Denafrips Athena which compared it extremely favorably to the W4S stage 2. Seems that, according to 6 moons (who loves to word salad the sh*t ou... | |
| What'd You Get For Xmas? I got a week off from all of my other jobs to do my favorite job which is being a daddy. Got my kid everything she wanted. Listened to a few sides. we cooked 4 turkeys, 40lbs of potatoes and roughly 6 gallons of coffee and handed out plates to... | |
| McIntosh C22 Unsolved Problem - for techs/smart guys/EEs I had a Sansui with this issue. I was able to reduce it to the preamp section and not the amplifier portion. Try this: turn the MONO button on and see if it still happens. Since it’s summing channels it should theoretically bypass the balance c... | |
| Santa didnt bring me a $20k linestage $20k Linestages are a waste. $40k min or don’t bother. |
