| Preamp... Solid State or Tube @sergiohm, Looks like with C1100, McIntosh thought of (almost) everything. The decision to exclude decoding of high resolution digital formats – including DSD files is beyond me at this price point. At $13K it's out of my budget, but it definitel... | |
| Audience aR6-TSS Power Conidtionor OPI did not compare the TSS and TSSOX side by side. So it would be hard to score simply because level of improvements are purely subjective and relative to associate gear. I have owned every possible iteration of Audience line conditioners. With... | |
| Help...hum issue with new preamp @jea48, Thank you for sharing the article. | |
| Consideration of amp change Modwright....Dan is great to work with! | |
| Preamp... Solid State or Tube Al, That's something to think about. I will reach out to Dan for clarity. | |
| Preamp... Solid State or Tube @lancelock - thank you for the info. @almarg - I am seeing great recommendations all around. Since I can't possibly try them all, I am thinking about visiting AXPONA 2015 next month and check out some of the aforementioned gear. | |
| Aurender now streaming Qobuz Tidal is only offering 16bit Hi-Rez streaming, which is quite excellent. But once you hear 24bit, you know exactly what you have been missing. Much more greater resolution and depth. | |
| Audience aR6-TSS Power Conidtionor The OX upgrade is highly recommended. I spent another 1K on upgrading all the outlets from Cardas to Furutech GTX-D, rhodium plated receptacles. I am not sure if you already upgraded to Au24SE power cord, which yields tremendous improvements ove... | |
| Preamp... Solid State or Tube @adg101, I appreciate your insight on DiD's and thank you for your feedback. | |
| Preamp... Solid State or Tube @lancelock, the ZTPRE definitely peaked my interest. Loved the high rev video :-)What is the retail? However I feel, three inputs leaves very little room for any future expansion with one input occupied as HT bypass. @bpoletti, good recommendati... | |
| Audience aR6-TSS Power Conidtionor Unless your neighborhood experience frequent power outages, it's perfectly ok to leave the aR6 'ON' at all times. I own a pair of aR6-TSSOX and they always stay 'ON' in my system. As your dealer suggested, you should only turn them off when you ar... | |
| Preamp... Solid State or Tube @ebm, I concur with your assessment of tube preamp/SS amps. However, I am skeptical about mating a tube output DAC and CD player with a tube preamp. Pardon my limited experience with tube gear, I Don't wanna get stuck in the vicious circle of tub... | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? @drdkey, I have not heard about Melco. Before settling with any streamer, be sure to check out the user interface. From my experience, Aurender has one of the best iOS app compare to any standalone streamer available today. I am sure owners of ... | |
| Preamp... Solid State or Tube @jmcgrogan2, I never heard of VAC until now. And I am quite intrigued by their Statement Line Preamplifier. Too bad, I can't afford it :-) | |
| Preamp... Solid State or Tube @adg101, can you elaborate on your experience with DiD's? I have been on fence to try isolation devices with my DAC or CD player. All of my equipment are housed in a customized component rack that is preloaded with damping materials to create a... |
