| Is there a DAC ranking list? This reminds me of the problem I had when studying the Psychology module at university. The sheer amount of terminology being thrown at us really exasperated me. I found it frustrating that they were using so many words and phrases that would ha... | |
| Ideas for an amplifier? I have some 2Cs, and they are not really that power hungry. They are a relatively easy load to drive. I currently have a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP (88w/ch or 44 in triode, and the sound fine and have plenty of SPL) If you can wait a month, I... | |
| Is there a DAC ranking list? There cannot be a ranking list for all DACs because DACs are like other gear in that you can categorize them by their design and the likely sound signature based on that design. You need to figure out what sonic signature you like. If you like w... | |
| Is there a DAC ranking list? In my OP I explained that I now stream radio stations on my iPad Pro to an Apple AirPort Express connected to my speakers. I raised the question whether I need a DAC with a streamer. Any thoughts? I ask because I’m not sure what’s the weakest ... | |
| Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def. By the way, Schitt includes a Decca position on the gain control in their Mani phono pre-amp (30dB), and Zesto a Decca setting on the impedance control in their phono stage (15kHz). Is that what someone running a Sound-Smith should use? | |
| Is there a DAC ranking list? @cd318 I would still like to see some measurements showing impulse response. The band limiting filters, around 20 kHz, that are used in DACS can give low SINAD for steady state tones, but can cause pre ringing or post ringing. The multi tine sign... | |
| Balanced versus single ended I didn’t read all the responses but I don’t know if anybody talked about, in true balanced, how one of the signal paths is inverted. So over the course of the cable if any RF or electromatic electromagnetic interference is introduced when the inv... | |

| Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000 I appreciate the suggestions here even more because no one has anything to gain by offering an opinion. most people recommend what they own, so there are all sorts of psychological influences that may not be as nefarious as a saleman looking fo... | |
| Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def. Regardless of what I pick….I’m learning a lot from this thread…unfortunately lots more options than I dreamed…I am researching them all. Just to add more to it… I also added a Korf headshell. http://korfaudio.com/blog63 | |
| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation Although active 2-channel speaker option is supposed to be preferrable to the soundbar, the OP granting his best half's wishes is far more correct decision. Happy wife, happy life. Good luck. All I am saying is that the Mrs may have a prefere... | |
| Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def. The Garrott Bros p77i is ~$500 USD. I like that a lot, but there are lots of options in that dollar range. | |
| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation We have the same OLED and listened to a sound bar. The mrs literally stepped back it was so shrill. Running the sound through a 2 channel is pretty good as the two of us sit relatively close to the sweet spot. You probably will want to listen to... | |
| Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000 List is really too long. New or used. Bookshelf or floor stander. Need to do your own homework. Read reliable reviews such as Stereophile or on-line. You will get much better information that is from true experts instead of ad-hoc opinions h... | |
| I need help choosing a budget phono stage gift Another vote for Schiit + Pyle $14. beat both of them, in-line, out of sight = ? 😃 |
