| Tube Preamp Recommendations? I think the OP already bought an AR SP6b. Just curious to hear how he likes it... This is of course if he ever returns back to post his impressions. | |
| Denafrips Terminator R2R Multibit, ultimate pcm redbook converter?? Are these R-2R design DACs optimized for 16/44.1 Redbook PCM or they will perform equally well for other types of content in PCM format, like FLAC content streamed from Tidal, etc., at higher rates, e.g., MQA, say via something like a Bluesound No... | |
| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? I tied vertical biamping my ML Aerius i speakers using two different amps - one with volume control, and could not get them to sound good/better even when the volumes were carefully matched. I think a monoblock set up using identical amps yields b... | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? A couple of quick questions: I read in another thread some folks saying their ripped (CD) contents sounded better than original CD. Is that technically possible or its just the differences between the components in the audio path, e.g., CDP vs. NA... | |
| Magnepan 20.1 X-over No | |
| Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp I have an Adcom GTP-400 that I bought new many moons ago and barely used and its been sitting in a closet next to my other "vintage" gear. Decent unit. Ping me if you want it. | |
| McIntosh Amp Ratings It depends on how the wattage is measured or more specifically the distortion level % at +/- dB. I have a pair of MC2200s and according to the performance graph shown in the owners manual, the distortion level at 200 wpc is basically a non issue. ... | |
| Can This Amp Power A 50 Foot Speaker Cable Run? Quick side question if I may, would there be as noticeable difference in SQ between balanced and single ended ICs if the distance were 20' instead of say 50'? | |
| best tube integrated under $5000 ? nitewolf, what speakers are you using with the Dynamo? | |
| Tape-in and Tape-out ports Thank you. So technically with a unity gain I suppose one could also drive a powered subwoofer using this output, assuming the subwoofer has volume and frequency cutoff controls. I hadn't considered the other usecases mentioned. | |
| Why demagnitize an optical reader? Are you sure you're not reading about cassette players! | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? stfoth, thanks for the great review, appreciate it. I'm thinking the main reason for my interest in getting a tube preamp is to experience this so called "tubey" sound that everyone talks about. At the end, I might not like it as much - which I do... | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? I don't need balanced but wasn't sure if Saga was in the same league (as Freya) sound quality wise. Anyone with experience? | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? Thanks again for all the great input. Its very helpful. The Mapletree piece looks like a really great option - thanks for the suggestion, but . I’d consider that over a Freya assuming that the build/wait time is not outrageously long. axememan, th... | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? Thanks for everyone's input particularly George for taking the time for looking up the specs of my amps. The (unusually) high gain in most if not all of CJ preamps is a valid concern. The MC2200 does allow to toggle the input sensitivity between 0... |
