| What do/did you do for a living? @ricmci I hear you... I started in a hospital at 18 and now 42 work on average 80hr weeks. Retirement of sorts is hopefully 2.5 years away. Music is mental health for me, and my budget is equal to what my wife's poor financial decisions cost us i... | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? Congrats @jshira on the gear purchase... You’ll love it all I’m sure. Honestly the biggest regret you may have is that given the money you’ve spent and once you start listening to your system you will think about other gear and possibly other... | |
| RCA versus XLR interconnects @eylai777 my biggest take away on XLR vs Balanced is that when I run XLR from DAC/Preamp to AMP's and put my ear up to my tweeter roughly 1" away I here far less hiss/buzz (with XLR I here nothing). This hiss/buzz isn't audible with RCA from my li... | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. @cantorgale thanks for the information regarding the Heritage MK2 upgrade. I have one on order now and am getting excited. As for the stock tubes, have you done anything or know of anyone using different tubes in the Heritage? | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. @astolfor @meloman69 @cantorgale So any of you hear about Pathos Heritage MkII (Q1 2024)? I love kinda off the cuff integrated amps (own the Technics SU-R100). I wanted to foray into tube land and am demoing two Canor Virtus i2's in mono, b... | |
| Stereo or monoblocks So I'm at a crossroads... I presently have two tube monoblock amps that can act as separate integrated amps (80wpc/8o). I feel like I'm losing some of the value since I'm paying for an integrated amp, but only using one amps features. I do like th... | |
| Innuos 2.4.5 Update LAN Port Not Working If I plug into the streamer port I can see my unit on the network. The LAN port nothing shows up. When I plug the my Zenith into a Ethernet switch the LAN post gives me a blinking green light, the streamer port again solid green light and my unit... | |
| Innuos 2.4.5 Update LAN Port Not Working So LAN port doesn't show my unit, but if I plug into the streamer port my unit shows up, which is the opposite of how it should go according to the quick start guide. | |
| Innuos Pulsar - Some Interesting Info for Innuos Owners I ripped all my stuff and like having that option. I'll stick with my Zenith MK3 and Phoenix Clocker. If I ever move up chain I'll go Statement or broke... Or both 😂 | |
| I need help understanding about the Pathos Heritage unique behavior @astolfor did Pathos get back to you? How are you liking the Heritage? Is InPol amplification as impressive as it's sounds. | |
| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover @james633 I too have some added hiss/hum in my E112's when using them in my chain (between preamp and amp) as a high pass. Hiss/hum is almost nonexistent after using a HumX on my left channel mono amp (JC1+) but now trying out my new tube amps (V... | |
| Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers? Well for starters YouTube reviews are more about the reviewer then the equipment as always, but that’s Entertainment so it shouldn’t surprise you and hopefully not bother you. As for the equipment they choose to review, and the overwhelming positi... | |
| using 230Volts Hifi components in the Usa I have a European spec (England) high end integrated amp and bought it because conversion rates at the time were great. I got my power transformer from this company and I was so impressed how incredibly built it was and how well it works. They'r... | |
| USB CD Transports Saw the Schiit Urd and looked very interesting, need to read up on it, but I too have a spot in my heart for my massive CD collection and have ripped them all onto my Innuos, so gonna do some serious A/B comparison once my Teac 701t 70th with cloc... | |
| New Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks just released!!! @christianb5s4 wow Coda 16 is incredible. Was considering a Coda myself, but not the 16. I got a screening deal on my JC1+ direct from Parasound after they used the amps at a show. So new essentially, but absolute not new pricing. When I was talki... |
