| Beginner audiophile pre-amp/receiver recommendations Definitely try to stay away from any receivers, everything about them is a compromise, sq being the first thing. As far as decent integrated amp, I really think you can’t get better than Schiit RAGNAROK, it has everything that you listed, a good d... | |
| Tool Fear Inoculum impressions So far I've gotten through about 3/4 of it on the way home from work but what i HAVE heard made me either spontaneously drive off the road caught in the daze or partially loose the ability to control anything at all. In other words in made a huge... | |
| Klipsch Palladium P39F and Probably the Entire line Major issue! Ii realize this is an older post but today i discovered the cause of my p37f's distorting and it's detached surrounds on five of the six woofers. I find it strange that there have been no posts on this issue since September. It clearly IS an issu... | |
| Tidal WiFi not as good as cd I think that the general consensus is that tidal lags slightly behind in sq from locally stored files, streamer or not. Although miles better than hq from spotify it’s not really red book quality. I think it’s still worth it. The op should try roo... | |
| Tidal WiFi not as good as cd Same here. Tidal supposed CD quality is NOT on par with same music ripped to my hard drive in either wav of 16/44 flac. Btw I'm using Roon for both tidal and ripped files, all wired, all to the same dac, same path down stream, both coming from my ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Audioman mentioned that Jeff Rowland top amps use modified Pascal modules. The only other amps, at least that i know about that use Pascal modules (also modified) are D-sonic amps which I happen to own and can attest that these things are pretty r... | |
| All I need to know about D-Sonic amplifiers Not too long ago i acquired an M3a-1200S that replaced Emotiva xpa2-gen2. The Emotiva being what it is, not a terrible amp is severely out classed by d- sonic. I love this thing, it’s scarily powerful with seemingly infinite headroom, no discernab... | |
| How To Field Questions About Your Audiophile Lifestyle... It almost seems like we should skulk around shamefully because of this oddball conviction we hold pertaining to sound and it's reproduction, well so be it. Those who visit my dungeon aka basement either fall to the side of the so called instant be... | |
| speakers with balls Ok, so oddly no one has mentioned it but if you want a speaker that truly rocks and does everything else extremely well Klipsch Palladium is what you have to consider, either the p37f, 38 or 39. They pop up here and there on different sites used o... | |
| noisy tube preamp Ok, I appreciate all the advice, informative and relevant as always. I will definitely get some quality tubes as soon as I can. | |
| noisy tube preamp Also something that I may have misrepresented is that the buzz (not the high frequency pitch) i hear is intermittent and comes on every few minutes until the pre warms up so it's not a constant thing. | |
| noisy tube preamp Thanks for all the info, this basically confirms what I initially thought. Silly of me to think that actually might be happy with my current setup for any significant length of time... This "hobby" and I put this in quotations because I don't thin... | |
| noisy tube preamp @jperry the info is actually at the end of my post, it's Jolida fusion preamp | |
| noisy tube preamp @atmasphere Huh... That did not occur to me. I kind thought of the preamp/tube as a single entity especially when new but I see how that could be misleading. | |
| noisy tube preamp @atmasphere so the preamp is about one year old and it supposedly has only few (two or three?) hundred hours on it, as far as I know. Seems like that wouldn’t be enough time for the tubes to degrade significantly but I’ve also heard different. I’v... |
