| My review of the Dared MC-7P Preamp with a computer input bought late 2017 on Ebay.. I had Dared i30 integrated in my office for a while powering B&W 683. I paid little over 700 and sound was fantastic for the price, especially after I replaced Chinese preamp tubes with EH.But after several years of light use it exploded with ... | |
| Let's talk power cords Perhaps more then 15 years ago I bought Harman Kardon receiver for my home theater. It was humming with sensitive speakers, and problem was acknowledged by company as a design issue. They sent 2 chokers to put on power cord and it somehow helped, ... | |
| Auralic Aries users @f1stserve No, Aries does not have any digital inputs, only network, as any other such device known to me. | |
| Ayon CD5S Tube Replacement @csmgolf thank you again! Did you use regular EH 6H30Pi, or "selected by vendor" (i.e. matched triodes, low microphonics, etc)? | |
| Ayon CD5S Tube Replacement @csmgolf Thank you for this info!When you replaced tubes, what 6H30 were originally in? Sovtek? | |
| Preamps w/HT BYPASS that works when preamp is OFF. Sorry to wake up old thread, but I wonder if more of this type of preamps actually appear.Apparently new cheap Parasound ZPre3 have this feature, go figure... But I am more interested in quality tube pres. | |
| Ayon CD5S Tube Replacement I am an owner of AYON CD-5 (bought used, but prob had very little hours on it, looked brand new), and it is really an amazing player (or DAC, as it used 80% of the time). I had the same question, and found on AYON S-3 manual on page 40 instructio... | |
| Need Advice on a Low End CD Player Giant Killer @willemj Outlaw (I assume it is an older version) does have USB input, but it is very poor quality. | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? Oppo does not play SACD-Rs ( DVD or USB stick with ,iSO on it or via DLNA) due to copyright restrictiions, but does play DSFs "cut" from SACD-R, | |
| Reimyo CDP-777 vs Ayon CD-5 Sorry to wake up thread so old, but I have a qustion to @melbguy1 :In another thread I read that you retubed AYON CD-5. I wonder what tubed have you used and what was the result - Ayon mentioned in their literature that they hand picked 6H30 tubes... | |
| Are HT speakers best for primary audio listening or not? @blindjim I totaly get it." I’m simply shooting at birds a bit higher on the tree in my next system.." I wish I can say the same, but upcoming retirement and money flow issues clipped my wings.Good luck and let audiophile gods be with you! | |
| Are HT speakers best for primary audio listening or not? @ Blindjim > I agree that aesthetics of those speakers are not for everyone, and even suggested (to no avail) that Golden Ear can produce "socks" of different colors other then "all black".But they passed WAF, they kind of matching some of our... | |
| Are HT speakers best for primary audio listening or not? My Golden Ear Triton 1 perfectly good for double duty. In stereo they are very fine, musical speakers, in HT they dynamic and powerful, with powered subwoofers (with separate sub inputs) build in,I just do not have space and resources for a separa... | |
| Swapping W4S to Pass Labs XA- worth it? OK, as I promised - reporting on Pass XA30.5.Listened to it for more then 2 weeks nowIt is definitely better, then W4S. The difference is not "night and day", definitely not like AYON CD-5 vs OPPO-105. That was night and day, with Ayon blowing me ... | |
| AURALiC Aries price reduction Exile_ken, given modest system I believe it will be hard to justify expense for an expensive streamer such as auralic or aurender.Perhaps simple device as oppo 103 (or better 105), which is streamer/dac/player/preamp will serve you better. Jriver ... |
