| Please help me chose a tube preamp May I ask if there is any particular reason you've zeroed in on those two preamps? | |
| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. The Asylum Street Spankers from Austin TX, part Texas swing, part vaudeville, astonishing musicianship and all acoustic. Sadly they broke up about 5 years ago, they never quite made it. Quite a few of their releases are on Tidal the rest Bandcamp. | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @daveyf Congrats on the new amps they are certainly stunning to look at I can only imagine how great they sound! There is something very special indeed about a good Class A pushpull tubed amp and good transformers are key. Obviously Jadis winds... | |
| Shindo Masseto + Coincident Frankenstein versus Nagra 300i integrated essrand,Aha that explains and lot and I agree with you an active tubed preamp is the way to go, I've hear the Vosne-Romanee and Aureges and really liked them both in different systems. I would say you really can't go wrong with the Shindo route or... | |
| Shindo Masseto + Coincident Frankenstein versus Nagra 300i integrated Just curious is there something about the current system you don't like? Because I see in another thread you're also looking to replace your DAC. Also may I ask what preamp you have currently? | |
| Coda Audio Video based in San Francisco is running a fraudulent operation @codatech sorry your company's name was dragged into this at all you guys have a great reputation for making quality gear and are very well respected. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Gene Harris Quartet "Black and Blue" | |
| Bryston or Pass Labs Agreed better speaker cables are at least needed and what amp are you using now? | |
| Tannoy Legacy Series Speakers Will be at Cap Audiofest too probably just Sunday and certainly will check Tekton out to hear for myself. And agreed mapman you don't see many dealers with big Tannoys setup. | |
| Tannoy Legacy Series Speakers Very cool looking love the retro look and I bet they sound fantastic! Have lusted after Tannoy Prestige speakers for years but too pricey for me plus too small a room. | |
| Cable recommendation between Dac and Integrated amp Yes the cable I recommended is analog I was just saying I had a digital cable from that same company. The Jorma No. 3 is analog sorry for any confusion! | |
| Cable recommendation between Dac and Integrated amp This:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/interconnects-jorma-design-no-3-1m-rca-pair-of-interconnects-2017-...I dropped a Jorma digital cable in my system a few months ago its utterly fantastic. I nearly bought this myself but cannot justify another... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? If I were you I would buy these for $3800 right now:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/monitors-loudspeakers-2017-10-21-speakersBut I am not you so YMMV but I will say I am a very happy Audio Note AN/J owner and in general AN speakers are a "get of... | |
| Nice MQA discussion @lalitk Tried that already it didn't work and it's ok I have no issue with avoiding MQA and it doesn't happen with any other files ever. | |
| Nice MQA discussion I use the Auralic Lightning DS app great app other than that but I don't see that designation on the Tidal app either. It does identify MQA and the sampling rate after I hit play just not before. The static I've been told is the DAC going back and... |
