| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? I just want to thank you for questimation what a fantastic word! Also a bit of general advice, slow down just a bit. I know it's exciting to get new gear but you seem to be making changes at a pretty breakneck pace. Take a little time live with yo... | |
| Issues with AudiogoN forum website, anyone? It's been fine for me since last night and I've been able to work around application errors the last few days by just going back a page and trying again. Or refreshing. | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? Also not sure what "lose control of all your music" means? All of "my" music is at my fingertips on a NAS drive and I can play anything I want from Tidal as well. I would call that much better "control" of my music and much more convenience. | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? My streamer, Auralic Aries Mini, displays the sampling rate of anything playing on the Lightning DS app so i always know. And direct comparisons to my own ripped files and Tidal have mostly been about even, where I start to see differences is when... | |
| Digital coax cable, real world experiences? Yes correct the McIntosh dac is not in the signal chain its limitations don't matter in that setup the Mac just gets an analog signal. So have fun! | |

| Digital coax cable, real world experiences? @uberwaltz no the McIntosh would not be a bottle neck the digital conversion would happen in the outboard dac. The dac would then output an analog signal to an analog input on your McIntosh preamp. | |
| Hi-rez music - why should it cost more? None it's what the market will bear and so far it's borne it. I have bought zero high rez recordings nor will I ever. Tired of a million bald faced attempts to get people to buy the same freaking music over and over. | |
| Do bluetooth speakers for cars exist? I have the gadget mapman references and it works great, here is a link to Amazon where I got mine.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DZKERVY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? So Al is right the word maximum is a bad cut n paste from the gain spec. It is a C-800 Mk2 so that impedance spec is right but no idea how it varies at different frequencies. Whichever way you go good luck I know its hard taking a blind leap of fa... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? So if you are just looking at used preamps here this caught my eye.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/tube-just-factory-serviced-perfect-2017-09-25-preamplifiersNo affiliations and a max output impedance of 1200 ohms would seem to work on paper, I'... | |
| Chord Dave ricred1 congrats on your new DAC that's great! I've never heard a Chord DAC but my last CD player was a Tube Technology Fusion which used the same WTA FPG DAC technology and sounded fantastic. I can only imagine how good the Dave sounds. | |
| Matching octave with audio physics codex speaker This quote from the SoundStage Ultra review of the Codex may be germane. "With the Audio Physic Codex, I found that the volume setting needed to be a bit higher before I could hear the frequencies at or near its specified lower limit of 28Hz. In... | |
| What exactly is colored sound? If it sounds good it is good. Pretty much works for me as a philosophy goes. | |
| The state of Yamamoto Soundcraft products Cool great to hear they got back to you and a positive solution! |
