| Anyone using a Mytek Brooklyn or Manhattan (I or II) DAC as a preamplifier? What DAC can't be used with an integrated or preamp? Are we talking DACs only having variable output? | |
| Amp selection for someone on a modest budget... +1 kalali. Need budget. You have good speakers, what is rest of system? | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please Given your amp only has XLR inputs, I would purchase the model that has XLR outputs. Given that the DACs are also preamps, I would try them in my system directly into the amp prior to considering the purchase of a separate pre. Otherwise I would p... | |
| Can you recommend a good Pre-Amp for my audio system? Given your budget, I would consider the purchase of a integrated amp as opposed to using a preamp into the amp within a receiver.Which Joseph Audio speakers do you own?Are you willing to buy used? | |
| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac As one who has been following this thread, I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the CXC. Currently I am using a Adcom DVD-137 into a Bryston BDA-1 DAC. | |
| Best Volume Settings? There are many preamps that provide too much gain when paired with the higher voltage outputs of many digital sources. The ability to reduce the output from these sources allows for less attenuation within the preamp. Often a sonic benefit. | |
| What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience Totally agree with implementing room treatment and system setup prior to changing equipment. Then upgrading the DAc and streaming system. | |
| $1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee The PSBs will sound much warmer, more laid back, than the Monitor Audios. | |
| stereo receiver recommendations The latest models of Yamaha integrateds and receivers have all the features the OP's colleague needs. And yes, stereo tuners are easy to come by inexpensively when one is willing to buy used to use with an integrated. That is they way I would appr... | |
| Pathos Classic One MKiII vs. my separates Thanks rudge. I am not in any hurry to change anything in my system until I sell the separate pre and amp. | |
| Pathos Classic One MKiII vs. my separates Just wanted to get back to say how much I enjoy the Pathos II. Very smooth sounding, solid bass, and great soundstage. May entertain the purchase of another to mono the pair. Not sure the need, since system is in a 12 x 15 x 8 foot room. Near fie... | |
| Need feedback on loudspeakers Milpai, Been following your thread and I am very impressed with the effort you have made to find 'the' speaker for you. I wish your the best with your choice. | |
| stereo receiver recommendations A couple things you (we) need to know to assist your colleague. What is model and power rating of the broken receiver? Did it power her speakers to satisfaction? What speaker is she using and what are the specs regarding sensitivity and impedance... | |
| Best DAC for my situation...Read on! I am thinking a used Bryston BDA-1 might be a good mate for your C48. They come up for sale used here often (as the USB input is substandard) and if it doesn't work out you could resell it for little to no loss. It doesn't have volume control, how... | |
| Room Acoustics Some thoughts on what I would try:Check out ATS Acoustics web site for DIY products. This just as an alternative to GIK (not suggesting better than). Find yourself a pair of standmounts that roll-off below 50Hz.Place speakers on short stands and a... |
