| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile Fwiw I own a stereophile "a" piece of kit ( AQ dragonfly cobalt) and can vouch that it does perform well and sound great. It may be the one of their cheapest recommendations but it has surprised a couple listeners with it's SQ. | |
| MC901 monoblock tube matching Q Now ain't the best time to purchase tubes. | |
| Buying used vs new speakers from a technology perspective Absolutely buy used. A ten year old TOTL speaker is better than a new middle of the roader. | |
| What is your favorite cover? Slayer covering black sabbath's electric funeral and iron butterfly 's inna gadda da vida are both excellent. | |
| Russian tube supply issues Did any of you that rushed out to buy tubes actually need them? | |
| The panic selling of tube audio had begun. Calm down middle mass | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain It couldn't hurt to try your idea. Does the power amp have adjustable sensitivity? Lowering that would also be an option. | |
| Separate Phono Pre - $$ before I will hear a SIGNIFICANT difference vs. integrated? Maybe this can help. I say go for the schiit, the schiit is good. Phonostages (below $900): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtHpriGymYP_blAbV6s3BvsOFMqRPiDj4 | |
| Best budget preamp for my entry level system? Dynaco pas 3x.... schitt saga paired with mani are also great suggestions. | |
| Has anyboidy had any experience with an 833-A single-ended triode amplifier? https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis8fgf9-dynaco-st-70-by-will-vincent-as-good-as-it-gets-sold-tube. This is an expired agon listing but it has his phone number and stuff... | |
| Has anyboidy had any experience with an 833-A single-ended triode amplifier? Will Vincent was recently advertising several highpower altec SETs I think they were public address amps from a ballpark... I went as far as calculating the over time I'd have to work to buy them. sigh... some day... | |
| Suggestions for getting a commission to custom build tube amps I met my repair guy through the local Craigslist page. You can find listings for audio swapmeets there too. | |
| Speaker selector app. Goldenear will get you most of the way there. | |
| A new turntable under 500-700euros I like my onkyo, and it'll fit your budget. It's called cp-1050. I run it with a couple Nagaokas and the schiit mani. They're both elliptical stylii though. Happy listening and welcome back to the world of vinyl 👍👍 | |
| Anyone else gotten SPAM pop ups the last couple of days? Yup me too on Android through gmail on the daily recap. It literally just happened I won a prize!!!!! Lol happened again when I edited my misspelling |
