| Choices narrowed Rogue RP-1 and Primaluna Prologue Premium Preamps I is also a very happy RP-1 owner. As other posters have noted it's nice to call up a company and get a enthusiastic person on the phone to talk about the product. I can't say much about sound details but the unit was a huge improvement over my ... | |
| Is it possible to buy a decent tube amplifier in the $2000-3000 range? I went hybrid Rogue RP-1 Pre (tube) and PS Audio S300 class D amp. Wyred4Sound also has a dual mono Class D that will get you in at about $3K with an RP-1 | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I have been running an old Class D Rotel RB 1072 for years. I slowly upgraded everything around it by adding Sonos (wyred4sound mods)Wadia 321 DACRouge Audio RP1 (tubed pre)Focal Aria 936Each of the upstream upgrades were a long range plan to try... | |
| Wyred4Sounds Mamp Monoblock Ok I will take a look at that. But ICEpower is still under development and this a 3rd generation module. I noticed that PS Audio has utilized the latest ICEpower module in their new Class D offering. | |
| walter becker Rest in Peace So many great bands of the 70s/80s have come and gone without me seeing them live. But a couple years ago I was able to catch SD at Red Rocks. My buddy bailed cause it was drizzling rain so I soldiered on alone. What a treat. The venue was co... | |
| All in one solution for bedroom system. Suggestions from all appreciated. I don’t have a Bluesound but I do have a Sonos with a W4Sound mod so +1 on the streaming node in general. Hook this up with Tidal or Deezer Elite service that streams FLAC 16/48 with an integrated that has a good DAC and you could have a very simp... | |
| Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player? Question. Why would you burn your entire budget on just a CD player alone when you can get a good unit and then spend the remaining budget on a nice DAC? Especially when you could possibly get a PSA unit that allows firmware upgrades? I suppose... | |

| Which would you pick between the two DAC. Correction that is $1.2K | |
| Which would you pick between the two DAC. If you dont have to have DSD there is a new Wadia 321 on Ebay for ~$1.2, which in my opinion is a good deal as it was originally $3K. I have the same model and the only real difference between this model and the di 321 is the DSD capability but ... | |
| I need a new DAC! Advice/Recommendations? If you don’t need DSD there are 2 Wadia 321s on Amazon and I think they are new for around $900. This was a $3k DAC but the new di321 added DSD so you can find these new 1 to 2 year old models for cheap. I think they are basically the same as the ... | |
| Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp Older Rotel RC preamps can be found on Ebay for ~$200+. I have owned the 1070 series and they are pretty solid for the money. There Power amps are on there as well. | |
| Power Cables and Power Conditioner Correction on previous post. I am going to test the power connection from the amp to the wall vs amp to Furman PC. | |
| Power Cables and Power Conditioner Thanks guys, great information. I just cranked the volume almost to full and put my ear to the sub and tweeters. On the right channel I can hear a very faint noise. Reminds me of the sound of a very light rain on your rain jacket but from a dist... | |
| Power Cables and Power Conditioner OK thanks Lowrider. I think if I do the power I could go a short distance outside the house and then into the crawl space.Regarding the amp not being plugged into the PC. I have read that on here before. So do people just sacrifice the amp in c... |
