| Vibration Control Proper isolation can certainly bring a significant improvement in sound depending on how resolving your equipment is. I use Stillpoints Ultra 6’s + Ultra bases under my amp, cdp & conditioner, and Ultra Mini’s under my Oppo. I also use an Ultr... | |
| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's YW plb02. Home auditions are difficult. I’ve had to audition the amps I mentioned in Dealer’s showrooms & friend’s rooms. Though mostly in my Dealer’s shop which is familiar. | |
| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's Of that group of amps, If you can afford the Vitus RI-101, I could recommend it highly having recently reviewed that amp. The Vitus also has the uncanny knack of pairing well with a wide range of speakers. Otherwise If you need a lot of power, I’d... | |
| Accuphase E470 v. Luxman L509x @builder3, at that level, it really comes down to personal preference, and whether you need the bells and whistles, or more of a simple, pure audiophile amp. | |
| Bad sound problem solved. Duh moment. Ever happen to you? I feel your pain. I had a similar experience, though with my solid state Vitus spinner in this case. I was routing cables behind my racks & jiggling the power connector to my player when I smelt a suspicious ’burnt’ smell. Short story, we fini... | |
| Amplifier and Speakers I had a look at the specs for your amp and the Pioneer speakers. I also had a look at the Impedance curve for the Pioneers - http://img.canuckaudiomart.com/uploads/large/1449643-vintage-pioneer-tower-speakers-cs-959-made-in-j...In terms of power h... | |
| Accuphase E470 v. Luxman L509x @builder3, I wasn’t suggesting your post was off-topic or unhelpful. I just thought I’d share my opinion of a product which has really impressed me, and which the OP may not have previously considered. | |
| Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2 @ei001h, Sounds like you’ve ruled out the A3’s and Joseph Audio Profiles at this stage? | |
| Newbie needs HELP! Personally Russ. I would look into Schiit Audio dacs which offer amazing cost/performance. Their products are designed and made in the USA, and are well reviewed. There is a range of full size dacs, both balanced and unbalanced depending on your b... | |
| Newbie needs HELP! Looking at the specs, your dac has a switcher psu & power cable. So i’m baffled as to why you need to add a psu between your Iphone & dac, as normally the component schematic would be phone/Ipod/HDD - dac - amp - speakers. If you were usin... | |
| The big DAC decision @bona68, sent PM so as not to derail this thread. | |
| Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2 Firstly, I don’t consider myself an expert. And that would include 95% of members in this forum. That said, I recently auditioned the Magico A3’s for a review i’m writing. The fit and finish is excellent. The speakers sit solidly on their spikes. ... | |
| Newbie needs HELP! Are you basically wanting to charge your phone whilst connected to your dac? I've never actually connected my Iphone to my Vitus dac via USB, so i'm not sure if it would charge the phone whilst connected. I'd assume not though. Your dac should a... | |
| The big DAC decision bona683 posts07-20-2018 7:07pmI have PS Audio and I'm very happy with it, but Gigawatt is a different league.Especially PC-4 Evo. I agree. Though I think the new PC-3 SE Evo+ model is sufficiently good for my simple system, hence if I upgrade, ... | |
| Accuphase E470 v. Luxman L509x bobheinatz466 posts07-20-2018 3:34amMelguyone,Very interesting about Gryphon chassis parts being made in Taiwan. Are we talking the Diablo only or their entire line including speaker cabinets? PM sent. |
