| PrimaLuna Dialogue Preamp = emotionless? An interesting item of note is TIMING. When I use my DAC>amp pathway in the system, there is a purity, openness and (maybe most importantly) a cohesive-timing aspect that is a big plus... When using my $$$ preamp, all sorts of ‘audiophile’ aspe... | |
| Grimm findings on streaming audio I’ve wondered about this recently, as a handful of years ago or so, there was talk around watermarking the music and trying to get it right. The skilled text listeners could always hear it. | |
| Lampizator Big7 as a preamp Lampi straight to amp is a pathway I love so much every time I switch to it. | |
| Can you put a Krell in an apartment? I’m sensing you going against all instincts here and getting the amp... I’ve done that before too. Makes for a longer road (and $$) than expected to get where you're ultimately meant to be. | |
| Replacing Manley Neo-Classic 300B How bout the new tubed pre from Tortuga Audio, with its LDR attenuator? Supposed to be a pretty darn transparent attenuator. | |
| Lampizator Amber 3 You’ll love it the way it is. Then after some time get a couple of the tubes mentioned as replacements in for a try. In my Atlantic, even the rectifier tube can yield markedly improved presentation changes. But better heard once you are familiar w... | |
| Chord Dave Trusted member looking for a demo/hangout with a Dave... Anyone in the Indianapolis area with a Chord Dave DAC wanna bring it over to a pretty good system and room, drop me a message. Or if you know of one around here, let them know. | |
| Who needs a Preamp?? I do both... A tubed DAC w/ VC straight to amp OR either ss or tube DAC to DHT pre. But when it really counts to hear a new live release for the first time, it’s DAC to amp for sure...and that’s with owning a $15k pre—lol. | |
| Recommend speakers for a large living room Daedalus Audio. look into Lou’s biggest. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD That’s good to know, George. My unknowledgeable brain interpreted it and has been calling it “proper volume scaling” of everything. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Yep, ct, you will say as often as you can that there are great DACs of both types. But there will always be people like George (and seemingly me, too) that will always hear something we like better in an R2R... A DAC I like upgraded the model and... | |
| Amps with meters ... My amps meter is a voltage meter...cuz it’s cool. | |
| sellers trying to sell used product for 10-20% off of list price Or how ‘bout a dealer or ex-dealer selling a used/demo unit for FULL retail. Head scratcher for sure. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Vinnie Rossi has the L2 Signature Preamp ($17k), a full function DHT preamp, with optional DAC module. The DAC add-on is $3500 and I’d say performs well for that price range and above. So, certainly better DAC performance can be had with an extern... | |
| Correct Way to Invert Phase I have a Vinnie Rossi L2 preamp that inverts phase and I almost didn’t complete the purchase because of thick and slightly bloated bass and a detail imbalance... Vinnie said what most here say...but I switched phase at the speakers and I get much ... |
