| Building a system from scratch (other than speakers) You need to talk to your dealer re the tick. This should not occur. After all you seemed to have purchased an entire system from Wilson so should be accommodated. As one who has both computer based and disc based digital front ends, I understand t... | |
| what pre-amps to try I am thinking that the Classe is SS, not tubed. I believe that mizike is heading in the right direction mating a tube pre to a SS amp. | |
| Best budget DAC I agree with edincleve, and remember that the built in DAC likely doesn’t require its own power supply, analog output stage, and housing that the $300 stand alone DAC does. What percentage of cost of a stand alone DAC in dedicated to the D to A co... | |
| Placement of DAC I should have added that I have my Disc player on top of my Bryston DAC, and use the vibrapods as jbond suggested. | |
| Refurbish a Dynaco St70 As an update, I was distracted from this however finally got around to boxing my ST-70 to be sent to Ralph. It will go out this week. I will keep all informed as this project progresses. May try to find a PAS-3 thereafter. Oregonpapa, maybe I need... | |
| what pre-amps to try I agree that the UV-1 is likely another fine candidate, I failed to mention that as I have never owned or heard one. The LS1 also used 6SN7 tubes. Also FWIW both are made in the US. And as I consider this, the UV-1 is far less expensive I believ... | |
| suggestions on upgrading my system I believe the weak link might be the phono/preamp stage in your integrated. Obviously different ways to attack this. Maybe getting a outboard phonostage 1st. Also can the amp be separated from the pre in the HK? | |
| Mogami Speaker cable question The canare is so inexpensive I would try it 1st and compare anything else I might try to it. Not withstanding the offer by maplegrovemusic which was very generous. | |
| Best budget DAC +1 runnin, I have been wondering the same. Another poster asked the same and we haven’t heard back on this. I doubt any of the DACs mentioned would be better than the that in the P5. Different maybe. Would require an additional cable. Which one? | |
| Placement of DAC I would see no problem with doing so. Regarding connection, the general recommendation when the option is available is to use coax over toslink unless you have problem with EMI or RFI. Another general recommendation is to use a coax length of less... | |
| Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out? Joe, do you own Sonus Faber speakers? | |
| $800 to spend on speakers, $1500 on whole system I agree with you on your thoughts regarding monitors (bookshelves). I also have a smaller room and though my budget is now greater than yours, it wasn’t always so. I still use monitors and am considering implementing subs. Quality bass costs! As ... | |
| best bookshelf speakers for < $2000? +1 ctsooner. Didn’t see your post until after making mine. | |
| best bookshelf speakers for < $2000? I agree with the idea of waiting until you move prior to purchasing speakers. Might even wait on the amp purchase as the amp/speaker interaction is important. The room/speaker interaction is acoustic. The amp/speaker one is electrical and acoustic. | |
