| Wadia direct into amp, Sound a bit too lean?? Hello Jerry,Although out of your league, I am running my EAD 7000 DAC (which I love BTW) directly into my amps, with a resistor based attenuator, I was also getting lean sound, but I solved it with very short speaker cables (10 inch) I am using mo... | |
| Bypass preamp, better sound, yet fatiguing? Thanks for your response Stehno, you were right on the spot, I changed speaker cables and things got a lot better I finally decided on the Cabasse original cable which looks like your every day lamp cable but it has diferent color strands (whitish... | |
| Bypass preamp, better sound, yet fatiguing? Hello Tvad, I guess the First sound with the APL dennon would have been great! Did you have the H attenuator?May I ask what is your CD source and preamp today?Hello Stehno, I wasnt trying to make it sound like a statement but it was really describ... | |
| Bypass preamp, better sound, yet fatiguing? I will have to agree with Hgabert here Stehno, I have the same fatigue "problem" running my DAC direct into the amps.which you described correctly "ears bleeding, overly bright, or beaming, or anything else that causes the ear to dodge certain sou... | |
| Advice for Building a turntable On my list of things to do is a TT also...way down on the list though....This is an interesting site with an Intake valve from a Harley Davidson for bearing, I guess you could use a Chevy intake valve also but it won´t sound so cool!!!http://www.a... | |
| What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport? I have played around with transports for a long time and we have done a lot of direct comparisons.On one test we tried Proceed CDD, CAL ICON, Counterpoint (with the CDM12) and the clear winner of that test was the Proceed.On another test we used M... | |

The DVD player I was using was a fully modded Pioneer DV-563A, by fully modded I mean Power supply R core transformer, pi filter Panasonic caps, and Clock, etc, etc.I several systems the diferences were obvious, you could tell right away, I even g... | |
| What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport? I used to own a Modded DVD payer (not the Denon), a cheap version, to try it out...it sounded, well..., like a modded DVD player, I tried it also as a transport for my EAD 9000 III with not good results. Flat, no soundstage no impact dynamics...ti... | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? I sold my fully modded SB2 after 6 months a bought a CEC TL-1 transport for my EAD 7000 III DAC, couldnt be happier, the sound from the CEC is miles away better than the Modded Squeezebox2 into the DAC, the SB2 directly to amps did nothing...I sti... | |

| Biamping Question Hello Clio09,I guess the simplest thing (if you havent tried it yet) would be to put the tube amp on the medium gain setting which is the same gain as your SS amp and just connect them to your preamp output with a Y connector, speaker cable of the... | |
| Biamping Question Try passive biamping!If your amps have input volume control, thats it...If not you can get a passive volume attenuator(Axiom, Creek, Placette) and connect it to the bass amp in order to match gain.I have used (ahh tabu!) an Equalizer with my VOTs ... | |
| wht does a preamp do? I have been playing around with passive attenuators for the last couple of weeks, it has been hellish trying to get it to function properly, I have tried several configurations and values, from the single pot, to a resistor loaded pot, to a series... |
