| change amps or speakers I have the old ones. Any recommendations for speakers should I go that route - and thoughts on the PSB stratus gold that was recommended to me? A friend of mine has a pair of the old goldmund dialogues which are very efficient and sound great. | |
| change amps or speakers Thank you. I did speak with Mike at Quicksilver and he thought the amps were sufficient to drive the speakers so long as my room was not to big and I don't play too loud; he also recommended possibly trying a preamp. But I did use a preamp (sonic ... | |
| digital or analog volume control? Thank you. Actually the dac is a monarchy audio M24 which is a dac and a linestage/active preamp combined. The modifications will be to both the dac and the linestage, so if I don't add the volume control (the original volume control will be re... | |
| digital or analog volume control? auxinput, thank you. I wasn't aware that adding a volume control could affect the output impedance of the source. This makes sense though because I ran my system with a placette passive in the chain and when I removed it and went back to the dir... | |
| All in one streamer for parents in their 70s Many thanks - going to purchase a used node. What generation/model would you recommend purchasing? Don't want to sacrifice sound quality or have any technical issues because of outdated software,etc. Again, thank you | |

| All in one streamer for parents in their 70s Thank you - yes, my parents both use iphones and ipads, albeit with occasional frustration. And this will not to be used with another system. Presently they are listening to spotify, etc through their tv's soundbar. Thanks again | |

With the node all they would require is that and a set of powered speakers but the ... | |

| pc vs blu ray player sound quality Thank you, Erik. So is it safe to say that the audio for movies will always be better from a computer vs a blu ray player due to the usb connection? Also, I am looking to upgrade my dac and a friend whose opinion I greatly respect suggested that... | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement couldn't agree more with chi chi's comments. I can't tell you how many great -and very expensive - systems I've heard playing with bright lights on in the room. Getting distracting lighting out of the way - and that includes any led's on my equip... | |
| Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? another vote for quicksilvers - for tube monoblocks - may be able to find a used pair of V4s in that range- I purchased a used pair of M60s 20 years ago and they are still going strong | |
| backert vs sachs preamp thanks to all - I'll try to audition both - one thing I forgot to mention is I have only one source (a computer) - so I don't need multiple inputs - not sure if that would change anyone's recommendation - | |
| blu-ray audio Native PCM is lossless. The audio output from blu ray for movies is either native PCM or more frequently either a lossless or lossy codec decoded to PCM. A blu ray player will not output the lossless codec decoded to PCM via spdif - only via HDMI ... |
