| Need HELP with my CD player I would buy a transport and a DAC. | |
| Is it possible to bring your kids into this hobby? I agree, kids want to learn. It is about exposure. Kids will follow those things they take most interest in. Must start young. Send them to kindergarden well exposed. | |
| members and their systems Yea, many of those pain pills do the same for me, 'giddy-up'. 'Having a bad day', ridiculous! Just to hard to address that.Never underrate humor, leave that to others. | |
| Should my next purchase be from a brick and mortar? Sounds like you are heading towards ownership of 2 systems, one bedroom and one in larger living room. I don't see why the Aric/Adyssey combo couldn't work for the larger room with DAC and processing gear. With likely different speakers. The LS50s... | |
| members and their systems @asvjerry Paper walls, now that is funny! Lost a toe, maintained sense of humor. Wishing you a quick recovery. | |
| IC vs. S/PDIF? I believe that when source and input impedance is to be the same, as with connections between digital devices, the term is 'match' when source is to be low and input device is to be much higher, as between analog devices the term is 'bridged'. The... | |
| Is it possible to bring your kids into this hobby? Great story and video glupson! | |
| Should my next purchase be from a brick and mortar? Forgot to ask, what is your vinyl system feeding the phonostage? | |
| Should my next purchase be from a brick and mortar? There are many dealers in within the area mentioned. One thing I recommend is to rearrange your system into the new living environment than consider changes. Then consider the speakers that best suit that environment. Then consider new amplificat... | |
| Pimping your router Antigrunge2, I will be at stage 3 once I get my streamer. I must use a 14' ethernet cable at the moment. Once I have had a chance to get acquainted with streaming I likely will consider other tweeks. Thanks. | |
| Schitt Saga tube buffer preamplifier gain? The Saga and the Freya serve different purposes. Though both can be used to drive an amplifier. They are not equally compatible with every system however.The Saga is a passive pre with a tube buffer that can be switched in or out. The Freya is a ... | |
| Schiit Saga+...What’s the point of the tube? Larshepping, most amps have an input impedance between 20K and 100K ohms. One need the amplifier input impedance to be at least a 10x larger value that the output impedance of the preamp driving it. This can be thought of as preventing the amp fro... | |
| Ethernet cables Basically it is the same advice I give to those putting together their 1st system. Put their money into the active components, purchase quality inexpensive cables, and tweek thereafter once one has become familiar with the system. I sometimes tak... | |
| Low gain preamp options I should state that I agree with the gain issue given digital component output voltages. Two volts seems to be the minimum. Too many amps with far too low a sensitivity rating. I have a Line Magnetic integrated which is 0.2V sensitive. Even in tri... | |
| Low gain preamp options Talk to Aric of Aric Audio. He makes 3 tube preamps at different price levels having variable output gain, low output impedance, and 2 sets of outputs. Aric has a nice website. |
