| What makes a DAC so expensive? No audio equipment is 100% transparent to the human ear, not the recording studio equipment, and not the playback equipment. | |
| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question Lissnr do you have the big 400 monos or the bigger 800 monos? How is the bass with those compared to the krell monos? | |
| What makes a DAC so expensive? You really think the output stage has no effect on sound, maybe you should just stick to an avr with good measurements. | |
| What makes a DAC so expensive? To me, in order to get guitars that sound like guitars then the DAC does not add or change anything when it reconstructs the waveform. DACs that are capable of doing this can be bought for a few hundred dollars. Some like DACs that deviate from th... | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? You can't beat the hand made preamps like Aric audio or space tech labs for sound quality in your price range, you would have to spend a lot more on mainstream preamps to beat them. | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers Speakers that are revealing just mean a tipped up treble most of the time, what about revealing bass. | |
| What tube pre-amps pair well with Pass amps? The Aric audio preamps seem to be built well with a good circuit design.Can they optimize it for the pass amps when you order one? | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? The fact of the matter is that the bulk of audiophiles' systems are not that good. Contemporary music sounds bad on these systems because they simply cannot handle it, while superior systems can. It's foolish to blame the genre of music when the s... | |
| Tubes? As was mentioned several times earlier get a tube preamp with octal tubes like the 6sn7, also a tube rectifier. I put a tube preamp in front of my krell amp and it sounds great, it sounded horrible with the solid state preamps I had. I know you ca... | |
| Preamp suggestions, yes again The Don Sachs preamp is a good suggestion, but over your budget. Don used to own a space tech labs preamp and he liked a lot, space tech labs has lots of models of preamps that are built to order. | |
| Who puts their speakers right up against the back wall and why? I have a pair of Polk sda speakers that image better than most speakers out there and they were designed to be up against the wall. They even image better than my apogee duetta 2's. | |
| No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why? I used two layers of 5/8" drywall on the room I built, but I couldn't afford green glue so I used an elastomeric carpet glue at about one tenth the price. The green glue might be better, but this carpet glue worked really good, I still have a scra... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. The big shipping company business is so bad you have to actually buy insurance just in case they don't do their job properly. | |
| 700.00 speakers new or used Too bad there aren't more apogee duetta or signatures out there, you can listen to them all day and get better bass than the maggie's. | |
| Cable comparison charts? Why do people think they can measure everything, I don't think we even measure the charge that we use, instead we measure the current and voltage of ac power which is the medium not what we actually use, so we don't know how to measure everything... |
