| Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations I ordered a bifrost 2 in mid-april. When I ordered it the bifrost was in stock, but that date has gotten pushed back a few times. Though it looks like it might be off rolling back order now. I broke down and ordered a denafrips ares ii because I g... | |
| Magnepan LRS- what amp should i consider? (sub $2,000) I just grabbed a Nad c298 power amp. It replaced an adcom gfa-545. I loved the way the 545 sounded. The older adcom power amps lack a speaker protection circuit though. I just got the klh model 5’s and didn’t want to take the chance with an older ... | |

| Tube/Hybrid Tube Preamps Below $2000 I have and use a turntable, but I’m not opposed to an external phono amp. I’d prefer a phono input, but it’s not a dealbreaker. A remote would be nice, but it’s not a essential. Initially I didn’t want one, but the more I think about it, the more ... | |
| Tube/Hybrid Tube Preamps Below $2000 You’re right. It would probably be about $2000 with tube purchase. They’re back ordered though, and the balanced version a month beyond that. If you factor in build time, we’re looking 3 months or more. I’d be willing to wait if it’s worth it, but... |
