| Preamp / Amp / Headphone Amp Conundrum [A Newbie in the Midst] You are welcome. Audio Advisor sells a quality splitter that is not expensive. | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? Much has been discussed on this forum regarding coax vs. optical connection with the majority finding coax preferable. There are also discussions on the science regarding length of coax cable, with very short or 1.5 meter being optimal for most ... | |
| A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream...... Yes jjss49 it is. Also it is interesting to hear speakers outside without room boundaries. Do need somewhat more power than that required for a listening room however. | |
| A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream...... Yes! For me it is a listening session. I get fully engaged. I have a 2nd system that I roll out onto my back deck spring through fall months to have sessions outside. I have a porch swing so swinging to the music in included in the activity. Alon... | |
| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III Well, down the road I think I will give the AE power cords a try. Likely starting with the DAC. As I just purchased a new pair of speakers, I will get to know them first. Thanks guys!BTW, I believe the AM Tubadour II to be a great DAC! I doubt I c... | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? I use a Lifatec toslink cable between my DVD player and DAC. I think it is great and not overly costly. Also have glass toslink made by a company call GLASS. It was recommended by someone on this site. I bought it off ebay. Even less costly. The c... | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... Musicfan, Been following your thread, congrats on your decision to sit tight. Sometimes it pays to turnout the lights and rediscover our system. Change is not always for the better. | |
| Preamp / Amp / Headphone Amp Conundrum [A Newbie in the Midst] May be possible to use a RCA splitter to connect the Yaqin amp and headphone amp to the preamp output. I would only turn one amp one at same time. As a further precaution, when using one amp and wish to use the other turn the used amp off, wait a... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) You are more than welcome. As one who is somewhat isolated from audio loving friends, I take particular interest in developing relations within this form. | |
| $1500 to spend... Once one identifies the sonic experience one is looking(hearing) for it is the combination of speaker and amplifier that will provide it. | |
| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III Thanks jayctoy and arafiq. I will get in touch with AE as I am very interested in their power cords as a replacement for the Pangea one I am now using. | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? To DACs mentioned that would 'smooth out' the brightness while maintaining, likely improving, resolution are the Orchid and the AM Tubadour. Both great DACs for the money. I own the AM. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) This year you have driven down a great audio path and I have very much enjoyed the ride with you. Your approach and attitude has garnished a great deal of support, ending with your having put together a great system via education and experience ga... | |
| Integrated amp recommendations Better, I would not care to say, however I would look into an integrated amplifier with a separate DAC/streamer (option 2). Many excellent integrated amplifiers out there. Reduces rack space and removes need for 1 interconnect. | |
| Cables for Audio Mirror Tubadour III As I have a AM Tubadour DAC I am very interested in this thread. Regarding the power cords Audio Envy recommends use of the P3 for a preamp or Integrated amp and the P2 for all other equipment connected as a way to prevent ground loops. I wonder h... |
