| Faint buzz in speakers I noticed that sometimes it's a light rheostat (sorry, dimmer switch) making noise in the circuit. However, it's usually a cheap charger that is the culprit in the circuit. | |
| Audiolab 9000cdt vs Audiolab 6000cdt vs Teac 505t Make sure you use a high quality output cable for the 9000 to your DAC. | |
| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp Gold Lion after about 40 hours of break in. | |
| Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp stereo5 +1. I have the c2600 with GoldLion tubes. MC252 power amp(SS). Much improved musical sound over my old c47 preamp. | |
| Pre Amp suggestions for Sonus Faber Olympica III w/ x250.8 SF Nova 3s and Mcintosh is really a good synergistic match. However, things changed dramatically for the better, when I went from the C47 pre-amp to the tubed C2600 (might be a little above your budget) with Gold Lion tubes. Everything just opene... | |

The Node worked well with a USB out into the Iris and then out into the Pontus via I2S. The sound was exceptional. However, once you have the Iris, it ONLY has a USB input. | |

| Streamer/DAC combinations I have the Pontus 2 12th with the Iris DDC and it raised the sou d quality significantly. Still use the Lumin U1 mini and connect it to the Iris with a Nordost purple USB connector, which allows for the I2S input into the Pontus. Each addition mad... | |
| DAC Help : Please Weight In - Down to 5 Terminator plus is incredible. | |
| Speaker cable length. You will not hear a difference. | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range Sonus faber Olympica Nova 3 or 5. Incredible sound quality. | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? Denafrips Ares 12th. | |
| DAC upgrade +1+++ for Denafrips Pontus II 12th. If you also want to consider the USB solution, you can add the Denafrips Iris DDC 12th, which made things appreciably better through the I2S connection. |
