| Do active speakers interest you? Also, let's talk directivity I like the idea of active speakers with the amplifiers and active crossover not inside the speaker enclosure, it seems like a better idea because you could isolate the vibrations better. A passive crossover can also be used in a line level position. | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC What's the deal with this live microphone feed, doesn't it still come through speakers or headphones and amplifiers. I think all audio equipment colors the sound. | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS I don't understand why you can't leave a tube preamp on all the time, I leave mine on all the time, it doesn't seem to need tube replacement very often. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? I would give andy at vintage tube service a call and see what he recommends. He has tubes rated for phono stages that might work better in a high gain setup. | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. Odd that there is limited info available about internal design flow of a preamp. Maybe a diagram showing signal flow.this would be of interest to many. or maybe not.Maybe if you did some research you could figure out the signal flow, or maybe not. | |
| I DON'T GET IT!!!!!! I believe the usb port on the node2 is for diagnosis not for output. Try a coaxial cable. | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? You should take the advice of myself and several other posts about changing from the avr as a preamp and get a dedicated preamp, that will be your biggest hardware upgrade. | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? I have apogee duetta 2 speakers, a krell amp and a bluesound node 2, I used a marantz sr7007 for a preamp and then an adcom preamp both sounded really bad harsh and not detailed. I bought a tube preamp and now I have exactly what you described, th... | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? I agree with the posts that are telling you to get a dedicated preamp, that should be your first priority before anything else is done. | |
| Poor Fritz Kenjit if you can complain this much about the speaker industry, I wonder what you think of the recording Industry? | |
| Poor Fritz Kenjit I believe these high end speaker manufacturers make speakers for profit and not for practice like you would be doing. | |
| I really wanted to dislike D'Agostino You didn't like the sound of krell because you never heard it with the right preamp. I couldn't even listen to my krell amp with solid state preamps, at least the ones in my price range, but with a tube preamp it sounds great. | |
| Serious Problems with Qobuz Post no more then, I already told you that tidal has the same problems of not having something available that was before. The nature of streaming is conflict with licencing. Just canc | |
| SPDIF cable same as coaxial cable? No, they are two different formats. The main difference is that I2S contains both data and the clock (separate wires), while with S/Pdif you have to extract clock from the data stream (one wire). Yes, you can have multiple devices on I2S bus, b... | |
| SPDIF cable same as coaxial cable? Does SPDIF just take the I2S format and just change into a single connection instead of 5 connections. |
