Anyone hear SF Venere's? Thougts?
Thank you Daveyf and Freediver for your thoughts. Just ordered a pair of 2.5's, should arrive in a day or two. Will post my experiences soon. Daveyf, my current int. amp (DK Design MKII) does have the power to drive the hales, so I'm assuming it w... 
Int. Amp's input sensitivity and DAC's output
Hi all, I installed the Rothwell attenuators today, they sound good out of the box. The digital sound is tamed now. Thank you all for the input.Happy Holidays! 
Int. Amp's input sensitivity and DAC's output
Thank You Swampwalker, Just ordered a pair I'll let you know the results :-). Yeah, they do cost quite a bit more than the ones on Partsexpress. 
Int. Amp's input sensitivity and DAC's output
Thank you Maraknetz, any chance of signal degradation? 
Int. Amp's input sensitivity and DAC's output
And yes you're correct, with CD I'm always at the bottom of the volume control 
Int. Amp's input sensitivity and DAC's output
Thank you Atmasphere, well I'm using DK Design MKII, I'm using an external Phono Preamp. The thing that bothers me is the Overload signal level on the amp which is rated at 2V (or greater) and the DAC's output is rated at 2.1Vrms. 
Int. Amp's input sensitivity and DAC's output
Thank you Maraknetz, but the integrated amp's manual doesn't specify the max input voltage. The only info in that regards is the overload signal level, which is 2V. That's it. So, can you please expand on your reply a little more?Best Regards

Nakamichi Dragon Performance with Type II tapes
Inna, thanks for the info, it's getting real hard to find TDK and Maxell Type IV tapes at reasonable prices. The Maxell Metal Vertex's asking price is about $120 a piece, MA-XG's are a bit reasonable. I have quite a few TDK SA-X Type II tapes and ... 
Nakamichi Dragon Performance with Type II tapes
Thank You Inna and Lloydc, Lloydc, me and my deck did pay a visit to Willy two weeks ago, he did a very fine job on it, he said the deck performed to spec, just was curious if the slight loss of fidelity was normal with tape media.As always you we... 
Monolithic PS-1 Sans HC-1B, am I missing a lot?
Thank You Treysdad85. I did look at the Sim Audio Moon LP3 ( presume that's the one you meant). You think the Sim Audio Moon will beat the PS-1+HC-1 combo?Best Regards
