| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing I read your post and I don't think you really understood mine. Stop flipping cheap supposed clones of well known preamps. Save your money. Use the Xiang for 6 months or whatever while you save up then sell it. Use that money lets call it $1500-200... | |
| Why does streaming need to be so complex I would punt on looking for streamers that do Amazon HD for now it was so recently announced it will take time for companies to add it. I use an Auralic, the discontinued Aries Mini, and couldn’t be happier. I’ve been using it for 3.5 years with n... | |
| OMG - I am just investigating ‘tweaks’ to improve my audio system. Just pull the fuses out of your gear note the values and order the corresponding values from SR. | |
| Tube types Yes you can and there is further discussion on that subject here:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/6922-vs-6dj8-vs-7308 | |
| I'm not even quite sure how to phrase my question, but here it goes... What are you using to feed your Dac the streaming signal? A lot of streamers will show you the sample rate as you stream. Right now I am listening to Qobuz and on my streaming app the sampling rate shows as 44.1khz 16bit and hovers between 7-800 k... | |
| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing I am a bit bewildered by all your fast moves but one thing that is driving me crazy. You have a superb amp and finally have heard it sing. And yet you continue to throw a series of cheap nondescript preamps in front of it hoping for good sound. In... | |
| Bit Disappointed in NAD If it's discontinued is there a new model Dac coming out? If so tell them you want to wait for that. Also it seems odd they have stock of the previous Dac which I assume was also discontinued and not the more current one. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 Do you have a chance to audition either amp? At those price points I would say a personal audition is mandatory even if you have to travel. | |
| Am I crazy or is it my dac? If its in one channel its likely a tube if its in both take a look at what's around your system. Anything that can create noise like a modem/router or anything? I had a similar issue turned out to be my wireless gateway generating RFI. | |
| Ginger Baker passes away A question for the mods there are maybe 4 threads on Ginger Baker's passing anyway to combine them? And may he RIP what a huge talent. | |
| Tube Failure question I didn't realize you had mono amps some great suggestions above. Is the sound in just one or both channels? | |
| Aesthetix Rhea 6922 Tubes If the Rhea can use the 7dj8's I highly recommend the Matsushita/National Unions from Upscale. They sound excellent transparent with good extension and fairly neutral. And they test super strong and really last. | |
| And yet another of our heroes passes into the night, RIP Ginger Baker! RIP Ginger Baker a huge loss! | |
| Unintended Consequences? Digital Streaming @three you may want to try posting this on the Auralic forum you may find some specific answers related to your Vega G1.https://community.auralic.com/I will say, I use an Aries Mini, that I've not noticed any compression to speak of, at least not ... | |
| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? All of the Audio Note speakers E, J, and K are descended from Snell, Peter Q bought the designs. I have a pair of J's myself and have heard E's and J's multiple times and they are all great speakers. Not just the wide baffles but the high sensitiv... |
