| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? George, the AMR DAC was many years ago.The Denafrips Terminator DAC I have now has single ended and XLR outputs. The SE outputs are going to an active preamp. I’m hoping to use the XLR outputs of the DAC to the Hattor passive pre, then SE out of t... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? ^ I should clarify... XLR out of DAC -as well as- SE out of DAC. That is not meant read a daisychaining two preamps. | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Hey Passive peeps! I feel like I read something about this but I can’t find it right away... howdo we feel about XLR out of DAC > Passive > SE out to SE amp??? Any downsides, asumming the rest of the scenario is working well?? Id like to use... | |
| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? Audio is a thousand little religions, all of them right, and all of them wrong.I once read that a/b-ing by switching back and forth during a track was the quickest way to missread true differences (as opposed to whole track with A, then whole trac... | |
| TOSLINK Optical Signal Splitting? I’m doing it old school / by hand. I have each optical cable into their DACs and have positioned the cables closely at the source for a quick hotswap with very little cable movement. It’s working good, as optical is not the serious listening path ... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... ^^ Great review! IMO it speaks to why the Terminator DAC can work so well in a warmish tube based system or with warmish speakers. | |
| Harbelth HL5plus These British monitors are very interesting and they are probably great. I’ve never gone there because I’ve been told they need to be be played at high spl for giving their best.I’ve never heard that about Harbeth. And doesn’t that kinda go agains... | |
| Harbelth HL5plus Even though I own Harbeth, also check out the Graham LS5/8 or LS5/9. | |
| Vibration Isolation In my experience too much rubber of any sort under too many pieces of gear in one system can mess with timing (PRaT), darken the sound up too much and/or slow or loosen the bass too much. Took me a few years to work the rubber/cork/rubber out of m... | |
| Is it still possible to upgrade an AMR DP-777 to SE? Glad I was wrong. And hope you get to have your DAC upgraded. | |
| Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers & integrated amp pairing recommendations Vinnie Rossi LIO... Besides many many glowing show reports over the last few years or so, there’s this link too: https://www.parmentersound.com/blog/4/9/2017/why-you-should-own-harbeth-speakers | |
| Is it still possible to upgrade an AMR DP-777 to SE? I believe you’d have to send it overseas. UK or China, I don’t know, as they are a UK company but the units were built in China (right?). I remember hearing some rumblings about some controversies and/or issues revolving around the SE. That might... | |
| Do you ever do this before you listen? And then just blow your nose one nostril at a time to clear out the liquid. I have my system...head down and tilted towards draining side and over the sink, then plug the ‘input’ side and blow, then repeat for the other side and repeat again. Easy... | |
| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! Haven’t read the ETM review yet but the user reviews on the GZ site are varied. | |
| Do you ever do this before you listen? The NeilMed link that erik_squires posted is certainly on topic and very helpful. I’m surprised more people with sinus issues don’t use them. I do it once a day before bed (helps snoring too) and sometimes twice, if I have a cold or sinus inflamma... |
