| 5.1 under 4k? Great choice on the Monitor Audio speakers. 2nd best advice was to go slow on adding a sub. Subs are very important and deep bass is very difficult to get right. The MA's you have hit very high for the price and deserve a very good sub to keep up.... | |
| Recommend: Integrated amp for headphones and phono The Sphinx is a little more than a thousand new. Another option in the same family is a Rogue Audio Cronus (not Magnum version) used if you can find one. Both amps have headphone and phono capability and sound good. The Sphinx is a hybrid while th... | |

| Your choice for budget analog to digital converter All assumptions about my gear and settings are correct. FWIW, the output of the phono preamp was lower through headphones than either of my former CD players, an old Yamaha CDC 715 (at zero attenuation) and Cambridge Audio 640Cv2 by I am guessing ... | |
| 13yr old speaker upgrade Sounds like a good solution . | |
| Your choice for budget analog to digital converter Thanks all, helpful discussion. I have a Graco headphone amp as well, the AC version, not the battery version. Using Grafo cans too. Thought I would go all-Brooklyn for a while.How do I know what the right output level is, should I choose to run t... | |
| Your choice for budget analog to digital converter Jcharvet,Thanks for your suggestion.kn | |
| Your choice for budget analog to digital converter Stevecham,Thanks, this may be a dumb question, but how is the record out signal from a preamp different from the output from my phono preamp? I always assumed (hoped?) the record out from preamps was a pure pass-through signal. I don't have a prea... | |
| 13yr old speaker upgrade Monitor Audio Silver towers (the bigger ones) and matching center. Or at lower price point, PSB Image towers (the bigger ones) and matching center, more left over for your amp. | |
| Your choice for budget analog to digital converter Thanks Jedinite24, but I'm going the opposite direction, analog to digital or "ADC". | |
| Anybody try doubling different cables? The short of it, I lent my son a set of Audioquest Flex 4 cables, about 8 ft. This is a quad run of stranded cable for custom install, nothing fancy but sounds nice. He wanted to upgrade and I convinced him to try GBC cable from HCM Audio, essenti... | |
| Any other AQ Dragonfly Early Adopters out there? I bought a Dragonfly in December and am using it mostly in my Dell Latitude laptop based system at work. It immediately gave me a case of upgrade-itis, and I replaced the stereo in a box speakers I had been using with some used Boston mini monitor... | |
| MS Windows 7 "Room Correction" feature? Mysearcher257, Equalizer still in there in MC version 18 and it works. Big help! | |
| Budget USB cable? Here is another prop for the Belkin Pro Series USB 2.0 (A Plug to 5-Pin Mini B Plug). Just sounds clearly better when used for my Dell laptop/AQ Dragonfly based system than either the thin cable that came with my external hard drive or the shielde... | |
| "best" 3.5mm to RCA cable Thanks for the suggestions. Being impatient, I went to the neighbohood RadioShack yesterday to see if they had other products than their basic shielded cable I had been using and I picked up an Auvio brand 3.5mm to RCA cable for $17.99. It kills t... |
