| Stereo Times review on the Tekton Design Encore Monitor @teajay It's kinda sad that my intentions only were to give information on a great affordable pair of speakers to Gon members and some how this thread was turned into a critique of my grammar and writing style instead. True, ignore them. Wha... | |
| Re: streaming recommendations for newbie @tlh28 I have had the node 2i for a number of years. The streamer is fine in my opinion, but the internal DAC is not. While I had my DAC being updated/modded, I was dependent on the 2i internal DAC, and I pretty much stopped streaming/listenin... | |
| No sound @rvpiano Also, there is a possibility that the sound of your Conrad Johnson was subtly deteriorating over time without being noticed until it stopped working altogether. And once repaired will be glorious. | |
| Do you prefer tall speakers For those of you with height challenged wives, buy them high heels. Win, win. Ideas like this is why I make the big bucks. | |
| Okay, that's it -- I'm done (unless I win the lottery) Great to read about! | |
| No sound @lanx0003 I have not been in the market for a preamp for years and was not aware of the Saga 2. I took a look and based on your listening impressions it seems like an amazing deal with input for four sources, passive or active gain and remote c... | |
| No sound @rvpiano Happy to hear you are up and running. It is rather amazing what a featherweight, tiny piece of kit can do. Size: 5" x 3.5" x 1.25” Weight: 1 lb | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? I was just watching a you tube video on the $160 Fiio K11 R2R DAC. I don't think that there has ever been in audio a type of audio component where the difference in sound quality between a budget piece (DAC) and very expensive piece (DAC) is so s... | |
| No sound My pleasure speaking with you. | |
| No sound @rvpiano I don't have a credit card on file here at A'gon anymore, so I think this is how I have to reply. It's been a couple of years since I have used the Sys. But yes, the Sys was a step down from using my Copland CTA 305 tube preamp. Alth... | |
| I am sad @samureyex As the saying goes, "Never wrestle with a pig, because you both get dirty and the pig likes it". | |
| No sound With the Sys, assuming you have a preamp problem, you are up and running for the price of a cheap tube. | |
| No sound @rvpiano Since you have multiple sources, you have ruled out that it is a source problem. Pretty much leaves the speakers (unlikely) amp or preamp. If you had a spare amp or preamp you would have already tried them. If it was me I would order... | |
| Streamer, no DAC please? @larseand Is it possible to find a quality steamer without a DAC? I believe that you will find that a majority of streamers sold are stand alone without built in DACs. | |
| No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables. If memory serves, member ebm used Purist Audio cables. I greatly enjoyed his short and to the point posts. Sadly, while he posted regularly, his last post was dated April 5, 2023 when he dropped off the face of A'gon. |
