| Nuforce STA200 I agree with mrdecibel, the SYS is a good way to explore the merits of using a passive. I would probably upgrade from it in my main system. The SYS is not the most basic as it allows two inputs. | |
| Which speakers for a Yamaha A-S2000 I agree Klipsch Heresys are best with tube amplification. | |
| smaller room monitors There are many monitor speakers that work well in a 2.1 music/video system. Sub is great addition with video, and can be with music, depending on room dimensions. In some circumstances you might find that you don't use the sub with music. Much to ... | |
| Phono Pre-Amp stopped working out of no where Could have loosened a solder joint? Just a guess. Can you open it up and check? Is there a fuse in power supply? | |
| Nuforce STA200 Looking forward to your thoughts on the SYS/STA200 direct into your Zu speakers. | |
| HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution??? As yogiboy stated, Quicksilver has been around for 35 years. I am taking interest in their integrated and headphone amp. Only reason I own the Jolida Fusion over it is that I knew a dealer that provided me the Jolida highly discounted. It also has... | |
| HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution??? There is a used Quicksilver linestage preamplifier for sale here on AG. Asking price is $559. Less than 2 years old. If I was looking for a tube pre under $1500 I would give it a try. Could always resale it if it does not meet my needs. Does not h... | |
| Bookshelf passive speaker that doesnt focus on bass OK, I am curious. What is the rest of your system? | |
| Amp - preamp or integrated At the price point you are considering ($5000) there are integrated amps that are quite competitive with same amount spent on separates. The issue I see is that your are considering the purchase of different speakers. There are many amps that can ... | |
| HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution??? Two all tube preamps within your budget: Quicksilver Line stage ($999), Jolida Fusion ($1350). Neither have phonotage.The Quicksilver has some what lower gain than the Jolida and has 100 ohm output impedance. Would mate well with your amp. I own ... | |
| Nuforce STA200 Yes, I have enjoyed the SYS using it as a stand alone passive pre with both the STA200 and Dynaco ST-70. I have not yet tried it as an attenuator between my Jolida Fusion tube pre and the STA200. This I will do in the future and report back. The ... | |
| DRAGON FLY RED BY AUDIO QUEST COMPUTER CONTROL PANEL SETTINGS I believe the question was NOT wether the dragonfly would make an improvement, but wether the upsampling would. OP can try and decide for him/herself. I believe that the DAC will make an improvement used either way. I also believe the level of imp... | |
| Best return for the money, system upgrade suggestions please. How do you use the cambridge Dacmajic plus. Of your active components it seems to me that it is the weakest link. Does the Cambridge Azure CD player have digital inputs? | |
| DRAGON FLY RED BY AUDIO QUEST COMPUTER CONTROL PANEL SETTINGS I agree with freediver and would keep sample rate at 44.1. Would not 'ask' the dragonfly to upscale. | |
| A decent preamp to complete my setup? Forgot to add that I believe the recommendation for the Complete Guide by Harley is 'spot on'. The best single reference for home audio I know of.Also, Blue Jeans LC-1 interconnects are great for passive use. 12pF/foot. Can be ordered for very sho... |
