| Preamps built Into DACs There do seem to be certain components that manufactrurers love to combine and DAC Preamps is one of them. I am no EE and don't understand the allure but you do see a lot of them. Amp builders I have spoken to seem to get a charge (no pun intended... | |
| What is a reasonable price for jbl studio ser set? Most HT series speakers from companys even as legendary as JBL are usual the lower end series. I could be wrong abnd JBL does span a wide price range so don't take my word as gospel. Check out some other sources but it's just a hunch. HT speakers ... | |
| In need of a powercord I wouldn't go hog wild on a cable that cost almost as much as the Adcaom, keep it simple the above advice is good. | |
| How Black is Your Background? Eh could be blacker as my always pessamistic grandmother used to say. If more blackness couldn't be attained what would all these blackening enhancing products have to say. They would shrivel and die into a blackness they would never recover from. | |
| Recommended replacement drivers for Kappa 8 Talk to Bill at Millersound, no one knows more about Infinity than he does except Arnie Nudell... Bill might be able to point in the right direction or sell you the drivers you need (not sure he sells drivers) but repairs Infinity as good as they ... | |
| Opinions & guidance needed with turntable upgrade. You are clearly a meticulous person who has looked at the pros and cons. I am sort of surprised you don't have more sentimental attachment to the current table. If you do anything other than upgrade the table which I am not so sure will result in ... | |
| Cary CAD 280sa v12R Was the apple of my eye at one point but things just didn't turn out that way. Amps with 12 output tubes remind of 12 cylinder engines in a way and Cary encouraged the thinking. | |
| Headphone Amps Custom made Mapltree Audio. Haven't heard much about them lately but he could build pretty much an amp just to your liking. | |
| Cardas Golden Reference vs. Triode Wire Labs 10+ Really Cardas being described as bright? I have them and disagree, never heard that said of them either but it's no skin off my nose, just surprised. If they are bright to you they are bright in your system, What else needs to be said. | |
| How long untill I can really Flog them Hard Ellrotts, that number of big B&Ws a year is a respectable number given the price of those models. It should ensure in the very least a biggger pair or 2 than what one customarily might encounter. There are several other brands that you may wan... | |
| A Great US Company There are more of those "sneaky charge" more companies than the good ones. I was surprised that a financial services company I had a mixed response from being both good and bad was still using US representatives. I was convinced before I waited 30... | |
| Cardas Golden Reference vs. Triode Wire Labs 10+ I don't think the Cardas Power Cords are as important as the Cardas ICs. | |
| Mcintosh MC501 or MC 352 for Sonus Faber Cremona I have heard the 501s on your speaker and they sounded better than any other audition of Macs that I have heard. I would go for them. plus I think the resale is better heavier and all. An excellent choice I would say. | |
| Here’s my $1750…just tell me what to buy.. No just an out of work clinical pathologist. Sorry if I was a little to edgy. Honesly for the $1750 you can go to almost any HT store and get a decent unit. If you want more than it will need more effort not just investment monetarily. That is why... | |
| how long should tubes last As far as out put tubes goes the simple triodes seem to have mythical lifespansa which I have never heard anyone define. For Pentode and Quatrode outputs the hours are defined and relatively short. If driven hard (as was already mentioned) a typic... |
