| Solid State Low powered Amplifiers The Schiit Aegir 2 should be released before the end of the month. It sounds like they are playing with very low feedback. The Output Impedance is .8ohm… Damping Factor of 10. It’s 25w/ channel into 8 ohms. With that low Output Impedance, I expec... | |

| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @atmasphere I don’t know if the Ayre preamp supports AES48 or not but the RCA outputs along with the XLR output suggests it does not. You’d have to ask them to know. The Ayre VX-5 Twenty with the switches I referenced is my amp. I have an Ayr... | |

| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @johnah5 Hey audioman58, I have no idea what you are talking about. The inputs and speaker wire terminals are symmetrically laid out. The left channel is on the left side and the right channel is on the right side. Teajay He may be referrin... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @dave_b Ok Jimmy 1 or 2…no one is forcing you or me to buy any particular product. Be happy with whatever you choose and realize that you are not the harbinger of enlightenment you think you are. It clearly says "Jim2"... "Jim1" is the truly ... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @dave_b I call horse crap here…there are some respectable bargains around but the great stuff is gonna cost you! That’s the mental gymnastics they’re counting on... and following thru with it may be expensive, but it will help some sleep a... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @atmasphere @jim2 Just for the record that wasn’t exactly my advice. My advice was that if you gear supports AES48 then you likely will hear little or no difference at all between cables as long as the cable is built correctly. The Mogami i... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results @charles7 The RME ADI-FS DAC has a volume control. It is a top-notch digital implementation; I believe the claim that the sound quality is the same no matter how low the volume setting. I turned my preamp volume to near maximum, then raised ... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? I bought a used 7’ pair of Anticables 4.2 speaker cables for $212 to my door and they are shockingly good. I also have 16awg solid core wire (of another brand) insulated w/ polyethylene. I’m going to try all solid core wire and am in the process o... | |
| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade @james633 I would love to see more quality crossovers systems on the market. I think people not using a proper highpass system are really missing out on the potential it can bring. Ayre Acoustics has high pass crossover input boards for a fe... | |
| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade @james633 I do wonder if the same thing could be achieved using software like REW to adjust the frequency. I don’t know if changing parts or adding software would result is more signal transparency. I have a UMIK microphone and miniDSP... ... | |
| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade So, originally I planned to put the crossover board on the base of the stand. Well, the board is just slightly too big for that, and the wires from the board are just a little too short. Plus, I didn't like the way it looked. Then it occurred t... | |
| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade @james633 Jim2, very nice, it does make me wonder how these got produced with this sound profile. Seems like it was an easy enough fix from a technical standpoint. This process has been a revelation, and the back and forth with Danny on ... |
