| Step me up from Paradigm Studio 20 v4 bookshelf, seriously. Rotel amps are known to be a bit forward (though I have not heard your model). I drove my Studio Reference 20s V4 with a Vincent 226MK tube hybrid integrated (100wpc) and that pairing sounded wonderful. I am sure the Orchid DAC helps out with what... | |

| R2R Ladder DACs or All in One Streamer Solutions Yes having two outputs on a source can be beneficial. Like adding a headphone amp to a speaker based system. | |
| Newbie, need advice. Yes the overabundance of gain is problematic with many digital sources. Any voltage over 2V seems not to be needed.Many preamps (stand alone or within integrateds) provide more gain than needed as well, a greater problem with digital sources. | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC Not since the early 90s have I declared that vinyl was superior to digital. However, to be so cost more. Digital has come along way since then, and as it improved, the cost differential between vinyl and digital has increased. Having tubes in th... | |

You seem to be fairl... | |
| Pass XA 25 or Bryston 3B3? The Pulsars have been measured at 83dB sensitivity. See Stereophile review. I am interested in the Pass XA-25 as am amp to drive my Tannoy Sterlings. I am currently using a BEL 1001 MK5 (50wpc). Almost purchased a used pair of Pulsars for my 12.5... | |

| Speaker cabels for dark sounding speakers? simna, I agree with your idea of moving the carpet, and anything else your might due to reconfigure the room to accommodate a brighter tone. It is generally accepted, as you can see not by all, that silver cables cast a brighter character over cop... | |
| Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC I own the AMTubadour III with resistor and cap upgrade. Use it into a Aric Audio 6sn7 tube preamp driving a SS amp. Tubes are the way to go with digital. | |

| why do my $40 logitech speakers sound better than my $120 edifer speakers? @dekay Loved the video. Think I will look for the series. Never watched much TV bsck then. Enjoy old series on disk. | |
| Devore O93 vs Super 9s @mrmanisumdaram I am sure your system sounds great! I have heard the O/93s driven by a Line Magnetic 845 integrated. Sounded great. Would own them, however they don't fit my life circumstance, having three 4-5 year old grandsons living with me. I... |
