| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? dlcockrum speaks the truth. George, with all due respect, you seem to argue against common knowledge supported by facts... | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? This to break-in or not break-in question pops up regularly regardless of the "object" in question; internal combustion engines, tires, etc. And there are always folks who argue against or for it. While there's some truth in the notion of the "exp... | |
| Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions My personal favorite integrated is Vincent SV237 hybrid integrated. It gives you 150 wpc @ 8 ohm and 250 wpc @ 4 ohm. I have their SP331 hybrid amp and I think their products are underrated. A very overall neutral sound with nice punchy bass. Bran... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation +1 for John R. I talked to him twice when I was looking for speakers and both times he talked me out of replacing what I have and asked me to focus on room treatment first. He even sent me some audio files/tones to help me accomplish what I needed... | |
| Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions You'll get a wide range of suggestions on this question but the suggestions can be more helpful if you share what other components, particularly speakers you will be driving with this amplifier. | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? Atma-Sphere M-60 Mk. 3.3:80 wpc @ 16 ohms60 wpc @ 8 ohms45 wpc @ 4 ohmsSo, is this the right "type" of amplification for these Quads? By the way, magnificent piece of audio jewel. | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? This must be how people get hooked on drugs; following this discussion - with no interest in or prior knowledge of Quad speakers, then all of a sudden a pair of 57s come up for sale on the A'gone, completely restored in an incredible shape and aff... | |
| McinTosh You should be able to connect your players using their digital coax outputs to the D150. D150 has two SPDIF coax inputs so you can connect both players. | |
| To Pre or not to Pre? Here is my take Way too many variables in the audio chain to make a general conclusion. Results are completely system/cable dependent. Worth the experimentation nonetheless. | |
| Speaker cables for Martin Logan's "I would have to say that most people with a clue are using MIT Shotgun or newer cables from MIT."I guess I must be part of the group without a clue since I'm not using these cables... shame on me. | |
| Bryston BDA-3 Can anyone of the BDA-3 owners comment on the affects of the upsampling feature on the overall sound quality? Thanks. | |
| New CD Player or Existing CD Player as Transport to a DAC? I crossed the same bridge a month ago and bought a DAC with two coax inputs. I use one input for the CDP and the other for my streaming box. BDA-3 would be an excellent option if it fits within your budget or a used BDA-2 for less money - my perso... | |
| Quick How to Stream MQA via Tidal to Bluesound My understanding is it does. Wouldn't getting a higher sampling rate- 96 vs. 44.1, for the streamed MQA content (via Bluesound) be a confirmation of this? | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Sorry if this has already been discussed, but has anyone run into a situation where the stock fuses (end points) in your equipment were soldered to the circuit board? My fuses are inside the normal fuse holders but there are additional connectors ... | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? "People who say that some speakers are not better for some kinds of music than for other kinds---that a speaker good at one kind will be equally good at another---are imo mistaken."Those of us who can't afford the "perfect" speakers, resort to mul... |
