| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Thanks all for the recent input and glad that many are happy with the Carey. But the gain uncertainty, age of the design, maybe the questionable customer service and odd feedback from the sales manager don't sit well with me. I've decided on a dif... | |
| Chinese DAC's Study the reviews on those DACs before pulling the trigger. A lot of the "reviewers" and comments are from folks that may not be at the same level or have the same component needs as what you might run into on this site. There are FB pages with en... | |
| PS Audios new PMG series.. @mofimadness @theo Definitely asleep at the wheel, sorry about that. | |
| Anyone using Ferrum Wandla DAC? @stuartk FWIW, a importer told me not to bother with the Golden Sound Edition. No clear sonic advantage, he said. The original edition sounds fine to me. The filters are great on this. DACs can be tough. I have a new post up about where I might... | |
| PS Audios new PMG series.. @theo Marantz is definitely not the only source for SACD players. Katy Lied is a hybrid and playable on a standard CD player. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp User Experience Thank you Lynn. In the absence of other feedback (I’m surprised), very helpful. I’m not great at using some of the audiophile terminology, so saying "is it good for rock" is my shortcut. I think you’ve answered that. I have no experience with the ... | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer There are other sources for this unit outside of China to get around the Chinese tariff. | |
| Source for high quality jewel cases Just ordered these. Thanks for the tip. I do a lot of CD buying on Discogs and so many sellers use cheap flimsy cases. You can tell just by the heft when you have a good or older CD case. They used to all be like that. I sometimes buy used empty o... | |
| Anyone using Ferrum Wandla DAC? Late post but here you go. I went to a Wandla with the Hypsos power supply from the first version of an Auralic Vega that I had for 7-8 years. I got used to the Vega sound but it lacked in body and the tonality was not quite right. Excellent detai... | |
| Natalie Merchant - Leave Your Sleep I remember when she came on Saturday Night Live right after leaving 10KM. Huge reception and celebration. Then she sort of disappeared from the mainstream. | |
| Holo May KTE vs Lampizator? @lurch-uk Why would you hijack someone else's post. Bad form. | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) I have received the message below verbatim from Cary today when inquiring about the upgrade gain, the pots, and any difference between balanced and RCA sound quality. Note an earlier post on this thread said the pots were "cheap Honeywell pots". ... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Glad I woke this thread up again. @avanti1960 appreciate your and others’ input. Please let me know if I have my interpretation of the gain issue right. I do intend to use balanced outs as this is my standard with all the pres and amps I’ve use... | |
| What's Up With All The Clickbait Thread Titles This was meant as a joke. Yes this is one. But some of the thread names are truly "sad".A couple of you guys have helped me greatly with your experience and knowledge. But we all need to lighten up sometimes, this is one way for me. | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Find this an interesting thread as I’m still looking at an SLP-05 as a second preamp. Enjoythemusic dot com published a review of the Rothwells that say they do affect sound quality. Never used them myself but seeing here they seem quite popular. |
