| Need Help with CD/DAC setup Yes that is correct Mark the only reason to use the digital outs is to send a pure digital signal to a separate decoder of some sort. Otherwise your unit outputs the cd your playing or the cd in the Wadia through the analog outputs. | |
| Does anyone else think this Nope sitting here thinking how good Miles Davis is sounding and wondering what's made you so grim this evening my friend? I say either have a drink......or stop drinking, but whatever you do stop thinking so damn much! | |
| Audio stores in N. Virginia? Yage I concur with you also on Gifted Listener. I used to live out in Reston and bought my first system from there a Bryston B-60 and Rega Planet combo. Tom Unger is a very nice guy and its a nice store for more mainstream SS stuff. | |
| How important is bass to you? This prompted me to run some Bass test tones through my system, JMlabs original Micro-Utopia and suffice it to say I was pleasantly surprised to hear usable output into the upper 30's. No wonder I don't feel like I'm missing much with my speakers ... | |
| What is your favourite Coltrane album ? The Thelonius Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall that came out maybe 6-7 years ago is great and sounds fantastic. One Blue Note/EMI. | |
| Free $3K preamp to lucky listener who names it Speaking of Timbre, I have a Timbre TT-1 Dac back in the day, nice piece of gear and pretty cool looking for its time. | |
| Audio stores in N. Virginia? Let me be the fourth to recommend Deja Vu! Incredible store if you like tubes and analog. I have one of their amps and preamps and couldn't be happier. And welcome to the area, DCer here. | |
| Free $3K preamp to lucky listener who names it Rcprince I had Blues also guessing a lot of folks did. Also went with Tempo but can't remember my 3rd entry. But Rhumba? No account for taste I guess lol. | |

| Your favorite recent discovery Leon Bridges "Coming Home" | |
| The missing piece For me definitely my Deja Vu Audio El-34 PP tube amp, especially after getting it recapped with NOS Aerovox caps. Another piece I love and can't see ever parting with is my Yamamoto YDA-1 Dac just a superbly musical piece. | |
| Primaluna Prologue 4 tube upgrades I'm an EL-34 fan myself, and own an EL-34 only amp, and I would say check out the Gold Lion KT-77 this EL-34 variant to me was a huge upgrade in my amp over the likes of JJ, EH, etc. A very worthwhile upgrade and inexpensive as tubes go. This will... | |
| ATC P1 amplifier I have to agree with George that's an extremely long cable run, particularly for a single ended interconnect. Definitely try a shorter cable. Something else to consider your driving a high sensitivity speaker with very benign impedance that was de... | |
| giant killer xlr's Check out Cerious Technology as well, Robert's cables are really fantastic and great values. I haven't tried balanced cables, my setup is all single ended, but well worth checking out. Definitely beat AZ Silver Ref II in my setup. Happy listening! | |
| Micromega Mydac is a pain.. $2.80 great news glad it all worked out for you finally! Also thanks for the Windows10 info, I got it about a month ago and didn't know about the privacy issues just went through all the steps in the Slate article. Much obliged! |
