| looking for a new pre/amp or integrated amp Why do you need Ethernet when you have WiFi? | |
| Coming out of the blackhole called work...retirement My humble advice is don't approach your acquisitions as a component by component and look for the best in each category. Approach it as a "system " from the get go and then buy the components either gradually or all at the same time according to y... | |
| Schiit Modi Multibit Thanks everyone for your input. Appreciate it. Looks like the camera adaptor should work. Its female USB output will allow using a regular USB cable to make the connection to any DAC that has a USB port. As for other streaming options, the obvious... | |
| Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions? I tend to agree with your assessment. I'm not really sure why certain folks, and only a few, tend to get bugged down on technical arguments which in most cases the OP didn't even ask or care about. A more annoying but related gripe I have is some ... | |
| hybrid integrateds (Vincent and others) Not an integrated but I have the Vincent SP-331 hybrid amplifier - 150wpc @ 8 ohms/300wpc @4 ohms, and I find it very musical driving Martin Logan Aerius i speakers. I've tried Bryston 4B-ST, Bryston 7B-ST monoblocks, Adcom 555SE, Pass X150, and ... | |
| Turntable sounds so much better when... Curious to hear (other) members' responses. I have no idea why. I actually expected the opposite. | |
| Analogue-free system Some folks seem to forget that we call this a "hobby" and the means is not always towards an end. My other hobby is collecting and repairing vintage fountain pens.The act of writing can be more easily accomplished using a Bic ballpoint pen but whe... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. kosst, don't waste your energy arguing. Your opponent is a self proclaimed know all and expert in all fields related to audio and electronics, all without having even built one. He even puts Ralph (Atma-Sphere) who's been designing top shelf gear ... | |
| Schiit Modi Multibit Just a quick follow up question: can anyone suggest how to connect an iPhone or iPad to Modi for streaming Tidal? I assume it would have to be through the USB port on the Modi but not sure about the type of cable that fits on the iPhone/iPad end.T... | |
| Schiit Modi Multibit Read through the first 25 pages and pulled the trigger.... seems like a no-brainer given the price tag and my budget. | |
| Schiit Modi Multibit Thanks for the link, appreciate it. Looks like I've got some reading to do... | |
| Analogue-free system I don't have any specific recommendations for a transport but I expected the Denafrips add a bit of "charm" when paired with the Oppo. Sounds like you've got a good synergy going on in your system and shouldn't have to look for something else. | |
| Analogue-free system As we get older our listening habits change but it shouldn't be either or. I'm actually on the opposite path. I have a mid-fi analog system that I'm gradually updating to enjoy my records more. But back to the OP, what really surprised me was you ... | |
| Quad ESL-63 and low-powered amps; Sun Audio, Atma Isn't this incredible that regardless of the topic or the thread wherein, our self proclaimed know all sucks you into this absurdly ridiculous, and exceedingly mundane, discussion of,... well, I'm in a loss of words in even how to characterize it.... | |
| Preamp help for First Watt J2/ZU Omens combo Just as another option, you may want to look at Mapletree Audio preamplifiers. They are beautifully built and very reasonably priced. You can also specify the gain if you order one new and are willing to wait a few weeks. Aric Audio is another sho... |
