| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update @jaytor Thanks for your input and information on your Terminator-Plus firmware update. I have a Terminator-Plus however have not yet tried the firmware update. My system has a good deal of treble energy presently and what I really don't need is m... | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? Hi Gregjacob, Some nice and great responses to your inquiry on quality flea-watt tube amplification for your efficient speakers. I have had tube amplifiers in the past and for the past 12 years, I am the proud owner of a BorderPatrol S20 parallel... | |
| CD Transport with XLR Out I can't say enough about the Jay's Audio CDT2-MK3 ! Terrific, well-built drive with a multitude of outputs and a precision clock. I've had mine for over a year and it only sounds better ! It's the best transport I've had on my system. Hard to ... | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC Yes... There are many good sounding DAC's out there and I've been extremely pleased with my BorderPatrol DAC. I believe you'd have to spend twice the price for an R-2R DAC that sounds better, and it has a smaller form-factor compared to other DA... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport You may want to look into Jay's-Audio CDT transports. Very well made and reasonably priced (in my opinion) for what you get. Pretty flexible outputs and sound great. They have 2 units available, and both got terrific reviews.! | |
| What speakers work with low wattage class A amps I have until recently had a pair of Living-Voice OBXRW speakers and have driven them with an 18WPC parallel 300-B tube amp, First-Watt SIT-2 and F8, and a Valvet E3 all of which sounded terrific and were easy to drive with their 93-db 6-ohm nomina... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE Apparently, a number of really good transports being discussed here. I had a 47-Labs Flat-Fish transport with power supply and it was a good little transport. I replaced it last year with a Jay's-Audio CDT2 MKIII and it certainly was an upgrade ... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k There are a lot of recommendations here which goes to show that tastes vary greatly. There are a lot of great cables out there and I'm sure some with a lot of hype and exotic metals, insulators, etc. I have had several types of cables over the y... | |
| Cables from amp to preamp or longer speaker cables… I have had long runs of interconnects (5 - 7 meters) both balanced and unbalanced for two decades now with really no issues. Presently, my RCA (unbalanced) interconnects are Audio-Envy and work very well, noise-free and are very articulate, while... | |
| Cheapest but good cables…. I have had great results with Audio-Envy cables. The newest iterations are flat and their prices are very reasonable. Cap Payne will help you with these. He's a great guy and I believe he has a 30-day return policy too. They're the best cables... | |
| The revolution has begun! Revolution... Lots of discussion around this topic of digital amplification. I have not tried any amplifiers that are not class A or A/B in my system. I'm sure there may be some in the other realms that are great sounding, however I've heard im... | |
| I'm looking to add sub-woofers to my system... @jayctoy I'll be happy to let you all know what I end up getting. Right now, I would like to buy 2 subs for stereo bass reproduction. As for reasonable price, I'm thinking $700 - $1000 each in that range. I'm sure it will take me some time to ... | |
| I'm looking to add sub-woofers to my system... Thanks for all of your thoughtful recommendations and suggestions. I am starting my search... Any others I might consider from your experiences would be helpful ! Regards, John | |
| I'm looking to add sub-woofers to my system... Thanks for all of your inputs on this ! And yes I do have line level outputs for the sub's. I'd just rather use the amp outputs as my preamp is a good distance from my amps and I don't really want to do another long parallel lead length nor add ... | |
| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle In my opinion, one you should consider is the Pass-Labs XP12. I personally have the XP-22 and I purchased an XP-12 for my daughter's system. In comparison to the XP-22 the XP-22 is a little quieter and slightly more dynamic, however the comparat... |
