| Tube Preamp, Amp or Int for holographic imaging? I think a tube amp would have the greatest & most immediate effect, but it is hard to recommend anything without knowing what speakers you are using. Tube amps excel at creating that holographic imaging effect that you seek. | |
| rodrigo Y gabriela 11:11 Oh my god, thanks so much Dusty! I ordered it right away.Ivan | |
| rodrigo Y gabriela 11:11 I saw them live a month ago, here in Detroit. A stunning concert. I'll not ever miss them if they come to town. 11:11 is a great record. I only fantasize that their stuff were available on vinyl... | |
| My universal player is dying. Upgrade suggestions? Which is better, the Denon 5910 or the NAD M-55? | |
| My universal player is dying. Upgrade suggestions? Nope, no blue smoke... all my tubes are fine, it's always the solid state stuff that starts failing. The player refuses to send anything other than stereo signals, the front screen stays black while playing, the player refuses to acknowledge any r... | |
| USB vs dock for iPod on Peachtree units? LOL, no I don't want to go into that quagmire. I love my system despite it's limitations, and I know better than to start spouting about it's virtues... I hope I was of some help with your questions. Cheers. | |
| USB vs dock for iPod on Peachtree units? I have not heard the quads, but I hear that they are very revealing. In all honesty, I expect that the iDecco preamp (tube on) will really shine with either set of quads. You will not believe how well this preamp images & how beautifully smoot... | |
| USB vs dock for iPod on Peachtree units? Yes, there are a few tubes that can be swapped. I've yet to try that. There are no biasing pots, so I imagine bias is not an issue... | |
| USB vs dock for iPod on Peachtree units? Yeah, I can definitely tell the difference without the tube in my system. My speaker/amp combo is very revealing of components down the line. I can easily hear the difference. The sound is brittle and etched on the highs without the tube, the midr... | |
| USB vs dock for iPod on Peachtree units? Oh, it looks like you cannot use the decco's USB with the iPod. I got this from David Solomon's blog, he said: "The USB from iPhone, like the iPod is for input and updates. It does not have audio output from the USB. You can use the Wadia i170 whi... | |
| USB vs dock for iPod on Peachtree units? I can't say this for certain, but I understand that the Nova & the Decco's share the same DAC. I think that the internals are the same except for the dock and the amplifiers. I have not tried out the iPod through the USB input, but I suspect t... | |
| USB vs dock for iPod on Peachtree units? The Ipod dock passes a direct digital signal, which should translate to better sound through the iPod. The USB connection is geared to hook up to a computer. The iPod connection sounds incredible in my iDecco. The iPod dock turns the iPod into a h... | |
| Long ICs versus long speaker cables Hey,I run very long IC's from my pre-amps to my 300b monoblock amps. The IC's are in the walls so they run for 40 feet at least... Bdgregory is right. The professionals that installed my home theater/stereo said it was definitely better to run lon... | |
| Desktop Tubes Peachtree Audio iDecco: great DAC, all digital iPod dock, tubed pre-amp, 40 watt amplifier... All in one tidy package. I love mine. | |
| Tubed Pre to mate with W4S monos 1K budget Try a Manley Shrimp, they usually pop up for around $1000-1200 used. |
