| Need help choosing a new DAC Benchmark dacs sound great and look at used Dacs here on Agon and get a great one for 30-50% off. Mytek, Ayre, Benchmark you cant go wrong. Read Stereophile Dac reviews which will clear things up some. | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Went from a very good Benchmark Dac to Mark Levinson preamp with built in Precision Link Dac and wow oh wow the difference from before is amazing. Also a second to the Mytek Manhattan I had for awhile with an Ayre preamp before my dealer sold me t... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? I had a tech at Mark Levinson tell me same thing basically about my 532H amp that after about 10 years caps should be checked or replaced. Then my dealer said he never heard that. Levinson said they dry out over time, I think that’s how they put it. | |
| Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts? For under $2,000 Benchmark Dac3 A+ rated is excellent, for under $3,000 Bryston is A+ Rated. Read reviews on Stereophile and Absolute Sound. I had the Benchmark 2 with Ayre equipment and sounded fantastic. The Mytek Manhattan used for $4,000 is a ... | |

| Mark Levinson power cord vs Shunyata Venom3 power cord Thanks all for the replies. I went with Clarus power cables and 20amp HC for the amp. Also did run a dedicated line for my PS Audio power conditioner with only amp, preamp, cd transport and Aurender music server. Could immediately tell a big diffe... | |
| Phono amp picking up radio station from turntable rca’s I found the source is the rca interconnect cables from turntable into preamp phono input. When I remove the rca cables from preamp it goes away. Just curious if a step up amp will raise the level of signal enough to cancel out the rfi interference... | |
| Mytek Manhattan II as preamp I must say, the Mytek is outstanding performer as a Dac through my Ayre preamp but the sound is dull, not as airy and soundstage much smaller using it as a preamp. I guess I didn’t realize how good and big a difference my Ayre K-5exMP is! Dac with... |
