| Wyred 4 Sound - DAC2 DSD SE - Excellent upgrade Thanks Audioman58, very good information. I currently have the Bryston BDP-2 Media Player/BDA-2 DAC that I amp happy with but the Wyred4sound DAC2 DSD SE has certainly perked my interest. | |
| Wyred 4 Sound - DAC2 DSD SE - Excellent upgrade Does the DAC2 DSD SE play regular files better than the DAC2 or is just because it can play hi rez material that it is better. In other words, all things being equal is the improvement just because it has DSD capabilities or is the DAC just improv... | |
| which preamp You could go for a low maintenance tube preamp like one from Herron. | |
| Small Monitors and Book shelves for Rock Music? Try Mark and Daniel speaker and have some left over for a good ampor Fritz Carbon 7s. | |
| Recommendation - Ref 3a, GMA, NHT or Fritz? Can't go wrong with the Fritz Carbon 7. They tend to be less sensitive to room and electronics than other speakers I own. Plus they sound great. | |
| Review: Herron VTSP-3A R02 Linestage Thanks Violin. Dodgealum, good to know. It is good to be in a place where you do not have the urge to make changes. I wish I never sold the Herron I had, it would have been cheaper just to upgrade it then buy a new which is what I am doing now. Oh... | |
| Review: Herron VTSP-3A R02 Linestage Great review. This will be my next preamp. I used to own the VTSP-3A and really liked it. I sold it to go the integrated route. I am back to into separates and as soon as funds allow I will upgrade my preamp to the (R02) version. Anyone have a cha... | |
| Best tube preamp with remote under $2000 used Second the Eastern Electric Avant recommendation. It is a Giant killer. I can't believe how good it is. Of course I have not heard everything but I can't imagine anything under 3 grand (it's listed at 1400.00 new) that is better. Good luck. | |
| Tube favorites for Modwright LS100? Alfa Lover, did the harsh, bright, hot top end ever dissipate? Just curious. In the next couple of months I may be in the market for a preamp, and was considering adding the LS 100 to my list but harshness is the last thing I want, I want some war... | |
| Best preamp 2k or under, new or used Backgroundblur, Yes, the Eastern Electric Avant is very good. I would encourage you to replace some tubes, you only have to do a few at first, maybe to a pair to match up with just input or better yet just one tube if you are using balanced inputs... | |
| Best preamp 2k or under, new or used Eastern Electric Avant. Under 1500.00. Sounds good stock but you can tube roll and get even better performance. It has full function remote and has balanced connections. Very nice sounding and one of the best values I have heard in audio. | |
| Best Integrated, period. Interesting on the Krell. I always thought Krell stuff was to harsh or bright. I couldn't stand it, but it has been about 10 years since I have heard any of their gear. Maybe things are better in that regard? | |
| What is a very nice sounding tube preamp? I agree with Audiojan. The Eastern Electric Avant is a sensational preamp at it's price point, it really is. It has a very big soundstage, which I really like. For the money you can't go wrong. | |
| Does this speaker exist? Elac FS 247, 247 BE or 407s. Small footprint. HIFi Plus did a review of the 407s and one of the main things they mentioned was how good there were at low volumes. | |
| Elac Loudspeakers? Audiogon memeber "Maxen" went from the Focal Scalia Utopai lll to the Elac 607 CE. Hopefully he joins the thread with his insights. |
