| unbalanced xlr input (a24) to mytek balanced output In my setup between true-balanced Bat42se and a21 there is no 6db increase via XLR connection, but between my two separate Bat components and other true-balanced devices the increase in volume is obvious. I doubt the a21 is a true-balanced amp. | |
| Help with phono amp upgrade I find it interesting that nobody’s ever mentioned Audio Analogue AAphono device under $2000. Beautiful both sonically and visually, with setting adjustments, made in Italy. Definitely worth trying. | |
| Upgrade from my Modwright KWA 100SE Personally, I have the Maestro Anniversary, but it’s an integrated, not power amp, even though it works as a power amp too. I have one, and love the sound. For the info you can contact Audio Alliance in Canada, they’re distributors for North Ameri... | |
| Ripped off, any ideas? Their website has a Facebook page, you can open it from the main website and post a question. Ken Leonard (if that’s the guy), also has his own Facebook, so it’s an option too. Judging by his appearance I think either he’s dying or dead already.ht... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? No question, Marantz is a better CD player. As for the Oppo...no matter what the audio rags say, it is what it is - a very, very good Blu-Ray player. Folks can convince themselves that the Oppo is the best, but it is not.Whatever I wrote is just m... | |
| Best integrated amp for Marten Miles 5 Ansibron, if you don’t need a inboard DAC or a phonostage then definitely try to audition Analogue Audio Maestro Anniversary integrated. Even though I have separates, I got one a few months ago and it is amazing. Still can’t believe my ears. With ... | |
| Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" drove me insane almost @ minorI - nobody's complaining about her albums. Soundwise at least. She is who she is and has a dedicated audience. Personally I hate her though.As for the KOB - While the sound is surely system dependent I couldn't detect that distortion neith... | |
| Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" drove me insane almost Folks should realize once and for all that we buy this album not for its sound quality, but its music. It's silly to complain about its recording weaknesses. Or go buy a Diana Krall album. | |
| Cable manufacturers? teo_audio, you wrote "Considering the exactness of the process for OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast)(Dr. Atsumi Ohno) , and it's origins in Japan, it might be that Japan has the best sounding copper."Now I don't understand, as far I know, besides Furukaw... | |
| Anyone Using Crystals? Crystals are useless. OTOH, if you acquire the dodo bird beak your system will sound like never before🐧✌️ | |
| Buying a power cord from France, import duty and taxes? There shouldn't be any problem. I received a 75lb integrated amp just a few weeks ago from Italy, and everything went smoothly. | |
| Node 2 and Yamaha AVR, go digital or analog? You simply must try them both. Then, I'm sure, you'll disconnect the analog, and leave the d60 connection, because it's better. | |
| Power cord replacement on a Node 2? Douglas_schroeder - are you suggesting to get a $500 or more expensive power cord for a $500 product, which has a microscopic power supply? Have you seen what’s inside of that device? | |
| Power cord replacement on a Node 2? Objectively speaking there's nothing. If I convince myself then yeah, probably something a bit positive, but really nothing to rave about.One thing that really changed its sound to great was when I connected it to my preamp thru my Marantz 8004 pl... | |
| Power cord replacement on a Node 2? I did exactly that on my Node 2, but can't say I'm thrilled. |
