| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing At the lower end of your stated range the Auralic Aries G1.1 and then invest $500 in the 45 minute DIY Hoer-Wege power supply upgrade. Going up the Innuos Pulse and at the top of your stated range the newly released Aries G2.2 at $6000. Also wor... | |
| How good is a match of Vandersteen Treo CT and the LTA Z40+ Intergrated? Definitely not enough power run full range and likely not even high passed with Vandersteen subs. If you want to try tubes may need to go higher output than the Z40. When I owned them I tried them with 60 wpc tube monoblocks and didn't feel it w... | |
| budget diy tube preamp beating many expensive preamps... problem with my system? @smodtactical The RCA's would be a good place to start but I would also talk to him about speaker and power cables as well as conditioners as he makes all of them. Get his opinion of a plan to follow. The PSM 156 is a great place to land for a ... | |
| budget diy tube preamp beating many expensive preamps... problem with my system? @smodtactical If I remember correctly you lived in the Toronto area? If so reach out to Steven at Audio Sensibility also in Toronto about trying his cables. Even his base Impact IC's are OCC copper with Furutech connectors. If you e-mail or c... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers From owning Carrera's for over three years try 8' apart and around 9.5' back. 10' apart is a bit much in my opinion for book shelf speakers. As to any harshness or sibilance give them a while as even soft dome tweeters need break in. | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers @dsper I owned Carrera BE's for over three years and have owned speakers with the same drivers as the Carbons. Which speaker model you chose will determine the best amp for you as their voicings are not the same. As was recommended several t... | |

| Anyone buy one yet? Thoughts? No mystery about what this product is and it’s purpose. It’s first and foremost a Roon endpoint designed to go with their DAC's which explains I2S instead of USB as it’s main output. No different in purpose than the Holo Red or the Sonore products... | |
| Jay's Audio CD Transport Repair Apparently reading comprehension is not a strong suit because if it was you would know that once the OP made contact with where he was directed to in the very first post his problem is being resolved outside of this forum. | |
| Jay's Audio CD Transport Repair @jaymark Put it in standby with the remote then power it down with the switch on the back and pull the power cord. Give it about a half power then power it back up. If it's the drive in that unit it is user replaceable and there was a video... | |

| Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8 I'm only repeating what the distributor Aamir told me when I asked the same question with regards to using as streamer only or combo. I was willing to pay the difference when I called him. I've had mine playing out of the analog outputs since I u... | |
| Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8 The upgrades to the Masters Edition are higher level clocks and op amps on the DAC side so if you are only going to use it as a streamer the standard edition is the same. If you are going to use it as a combination unit you may or may not hear th... | |
| looking for PS Audio Power Plant Premier to demo / purchase in Seattle area If you are looking to address DC issues then the PS Audio regenerators won't help you in that department but the Puritan will and I've owned both. Also the Power Plant you are referencing has been discontinued for years. |
