| Schitt Yggdrasil Vs. Bluenode 2i (Shock!) Node2 also responds well to power cable upgrades, of course within reason. | |
| Impedance Matching in the Modern Audio System "Do I need to worry about matching the analog out on the Bluesound node 2i to the analog input on the tube amp?"No. | |
| Who needs a Preamp?? To the OP: Please save us and yourself the aggravation and do a search as this topic has been discussed ad nauseam. The discussion doesn’t usually end well as you can see. Thanks in advance. | |
| LampizatOr Amber (original version) Thank you guys. I don’t see the MQA toggle in Bluesound app but I did try it in Tidal and it made no difference. Not a big deal for me. As for tubes and damper sheet, it has RCA rectifier tube and Brimar output tubes which I think are aftermarket ... | |
| Help with hookup First make sure you're selecting the correct source and the speakers on the preamp and then add some volume to see what happens. If that doesn't work, then you'd need to dig deeper. | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain One other element to keep in mind is majority of the volume controls are nonlinear (logarithmic) and the degree of resolution increases as you turn up the volume. This is another reason for proper matching of the gain between the preamp and the am... | |
| Coincident speakers 14 Ohms - What amplification to use when streaming Tidal. "A SET tube amp is recommended by Coincident, but I do not play records any more..."Not sure if I follow the connection... | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain You didn't mention what signal tubes you have in the preamp but if you have 12AX7 tubes you could switch to 12AT7 or even 12AU7 tubes which have lower gains, respectively. | |
| TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP No disrespect to the OP but stalking someone's home just based on a post/story on internet is irresponsible. I think we all got the message and I doubt anyone will be buying any gear from this vendor since they appear to be out of business. I sugg... | |
| power amp/pre amp input and output impedence question "Same for poweramp to speaker."???? | |
| New to the two channel world - Advice needed on preamp "...but my experience with Bryston is they do really well with a tube rather than SS front end. "I fully concur. | |
| Just auditioned Martin Logan ESL vs 60xt What you describe as the sound you heard from the ESL is completely contrary to my experience hearing ML speakers in general. Even my ~20 year old Aerius i model sounds extremely transparent and dynamic especially from mid-bass and up. They do nee... | |
| Ifi Spdif purifier lowrider57, did you special order the Swagman LPS with the mini USB to fit the iFi or had to cut&splice the cord? | |
| Metal cabinet speakers The cost of the (aluminum) cabinet is only part of the story. Take a look at the cross section of a Magico speaker and when you see all the bracing that is required, then you’ll see why they weigh as much as they do., and maybe why they cost as mu... | |
| Martín Logan choice help Congratulations. Based on my experience with the MMGi model which has about the same dimensions, you may also want to try the Sound Anchor stands to lift them a few inches off the ground. In my room, the improvement in sound quality was substantia... |
