| Unforgiving DAC or add Tube Preamp?? A couple DACs from the listings under $2K:A bit esoteric but a highly regarded Japanese DAC:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9a71i-47-laboratory-4705-progression-dac-with-4799-power-dumpty...Not to bombard you with Japanese DACs but this Reimy... | |
| Curious about running a tube pre into a SS integrated I would suggest if you really want to go the tube pre/ss amp route you ditch the integrated and go with separates. | |
| Aurelic G2 or Aurender N10 @uberwaltz Hey man I didn't know you got a Mini! Good for you they are pretty hard to find as Auralic doesn't make them anymore. Sorry you don't like Lightning DS I find it to be a good app and fairly intuitive. I hope you get used to it. How do y... | |
| Qobuz. I got the Beta email signed up and was also turned down. I guess I have to wait but it sounds very promising from what you Beta users are posting! | |
| Speaker Cable Advice Audio Note makes some excellent relatively affordable copper speaker cables. Lexus would definitely be in your price range and the next step up Isis should be as well. | |
| Opinions on MBL 116F speakers I don't have any direct experience but they are known to be notoriously hard to drive, you will very likely need a new more powerful amp. | |
| What's the purpose of the Auralic Aries G2 if the Auralic Vega G2 has built in streaming? It's for people who want a streamer and want to use their own DAC. That's basically it and the straight Aries is also a bit higher quality streamer than the Vega since that is all it does and it's optimized for it. | |
| Suggestion To The Moderators To Rid This Site Of Spam Frank finally something political we can agree on! I live in DC so taxation without representation is my daily reality. :) | |
| Went down the "rabbit hole" of speaker cables and these showed up! Congratulations! Good cables can make a real difference in almost any system glad Transparent worked out for you. | |
| Art Audio Diavolo hum @verdantaudio I just wanted to say it's awesome that you responded to a thread, two years old, having just picked Art Audio up for the USA. It speaks to you're wanting to get them off on the right foot as they re-enter the US market so kudos to you. | |
| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? Why not see if someone in S. Florida can do the repairs? Minus shipping costs it's unlikely the repair would be terribly expensive. And besides all the tubes being smashed how damaged is the amp itself? | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience @bfjones01 congrats on your new table! It sounds like you have an excellent dealer who took her time with you to find out what you really wanted. And I hadn't looked at Linn tables in a while looks like they've totally revisited the nomenclature i... | |
| Which DAC is being used with Bluetooth? It sounds better because the wired connection is just a better connection. Bluetooth is about convenience more than sound quality. Also Wadia makes high quality digital gear. | |
| Which DAC is being used with Bluetooth? Bluetooth would send the signal to a wireless receiver then to the Dac in your Cambridge the Bluetooth wireless signal is digital not analog. | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? The Grateful Dead. |
