| rewiring preamp will it work just heard back from Cary:"Hey Ron, Since the output of the AES-3 is buffered with a follower, I see no reason why it wouldn't work. You certainly couldn't drive a pair of headphones from that output, but it would work into the input of a headphon... | |
| rewiring preamp will it work Very informative reply Al, greatly appreciated. When I plug in the input impedances of my amp and and headphone amp to the equation I get 13.5k ohms for the combined input impedance. So its definitely more than 10x the listed 560 ohm output impeda... | |
| Uprgrading my Metrum Octave DAC In other matters, does anyone have any DAC suggestions? | |
| Audiophilleo vs Empirical audio offramp I found a single thread on computer audiophile from elberoth, I guess that is the one you were talking about, he says that he prefers the AP over all others he's tested, including the Offramp. Most people disagree with this though. Anyone else? | |
| Uprgrading my Metrum Octave DAC Interesting Idea about coupling DAC directly to amp. Which DACs do you know of that are capable of doing this? I guess you just need a DAC with the right output impedance, why do you need balanced cables though? | |
| Uprgrading my Metrum Octave DAC Forgot to mention the perfect wave MKII as another potential. I realize the ayre and brick are a few years old now, but from what I've read, they still hold their own with modern DACs. | |

| Zu Mission vs Event Cables I have a pair of Zu St Julian calbes for sale on AG right now, they are the predecessor to the mission cables | |
| Tube preamp I am leaning towards the quicksilver 12AX7 version. It goes for about half the price of the rogue 99. I'm sure the 99 is better, but not $500 better. What do you guys think? | |
| Vacuum tube preamp? dared sl-2000a can't be beat in that price range | |
| Best floorstanding speakers under $2000 Pubul57: I would consider giving room treatment a shot. What do you recommend, bass traps in the corners? Thanks for the suggestion. | |
| Best DAC from $1500 to $2500 or so Istanbulu: Thanks, for the info, I've been very interested in the tranquility for some time. have you ever compared the tranquility to the EE or any other DACs mentioned? | |
| Best solid state headphone amp under $1000 Leaning towards either the headamp, BC thingee, or musical fidelity right now. Has anyone compared these to the Channel island VHP-2, would any of these be a significant step up from it?Also has anyone ever tried the M^3 or Beta 22 amps? I'm heari... | |
| Best solid state headphone amp under $1000 Mcondoon: Which others have you compared the BC amp to? Based on what I've read so far, I've been leaning towards either Blue Circle or Headamp | |
| Best solid state headphone amp under $1000 I'm using it with a pair of audio technica ath-m50s, but am thinking to upgrading to a higher end sealed can, most likely Denon AH-D7000 or AT ATH-W1000x. |
