| Yamaha CX-A5200 - Connect a tape deck? You can connect the tape deck to any high level input on your Yamaha for playback. In terms of a tape loop are you planning to do a lot of recording? If not don't worry about it. | |
| Wow! Hard to believe how Good this sounds! I agree its always a great thing to come home from a vacation or any trip and plop down in front of the stereo for the first time! | |
| Impact of phase inversion by preamp I wish I had a phase reversal switch on my preamp so many recordings vary in terms of correct or inverted phase. | |
| Very small room systems and synergy You say you're not getting enough bass and you're using speakers that go down to 47hz 6db down. Personally I agree on the subject of metal dome tweeters give me a soft dome any day. But what you need are either bigger speakers with better bass res... | |
| Have I gotten complacent? @zavato I'm with you I've had my amp and preamp both over 10 years now, my speakers and dac both over two years now. Other than replacing a few tubes here and there I am pretty much done. Oh and my dac is out getting a cap upgrade, though I've ha... | |
| VTL amplifier Tube brand The VTL site says 6550 or KT88 for each amp so presumably the customer can choose at the point of purchase. | |
| Looking for advice on buying new discontinued music server - would you do it? If no longer supported with software updates I would say no, if they are still supported I would say yes if its a good deal. | |
| GIK Acoustics summer contest! My vote is in good luck Mike! | |
| Audio Note Kit 1 Upgrade Or New Dac I am currently listening to an AN Kits Dac1.1 given to me as a loaner while my dealer upgrades the caps in my AN UK Dac. I think it sounds excellent and I can imagine that you are very happy with the sound you're getting. An upgrade to the output ... | |
| Which reviewers and review sites are the ost reliable? I’ve gotten to really enjoy the reviews of Christian Punter at HifiAdvice.com I just like his writing style and the thoroughness of his reviews. However I read reviews strictly for entertainment these days. | |
| Interconnect recomendations, ~$500 new or used, RCA... In that price range look for used Auditorium23 cables a fantastic sounding copper cable. I use a pair between my preamp and amp. | |
| Replacing components, Please weigh in! I would agree that receiver is very much the weak link in your system. But good news your speakers are very easy to drive which opens up a world of choices tube and SS. Are you able to get out and listen to anything? Don't get too caught up in spe... | |
| Is there any Streamer/DAC/Preamp good enough to replace a dedicated standalone preamp? I think that even combining a Streamer and Dac is a compromise. Also adding preamp functionality would be a further compromise. Also you have a pretty great preamp to find a combined unit that's as good a preamp as your Act2 would be next to impos... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps @ebm You're long overdue to post your system on here that Audia amp sounds very cool!@roxy1927 Unless I missed it you didn't say what speakers you'll be driving with your new amp? | |
| Roon - streaming only...where'd you get your NAS? I also use a Synology NAS I bought on Amazon. My files are my ripped CDs, about 800, and then files I've bought or friends have given me. Most of those are bootleg live shows, I have about 3.5TB of my own files plus I stream Tidal and Qobuz. I don... |
