| Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations I have the Modi3. It's a very good $100 DAC but wouldn't say its a giant killer. | |
| CDP or DAC? With a budget of 5-15k you can’t do much better than the Hegel Mohican cdp at $5k. So many glowing reviews on line and youtube. | |
| Schiit CD Transport on the way soon. I contacted them about 1 year ago about it and they said they're considering it. I'm glad they're more definitive. I hope it's a minimalist design like the 47 Laboratory Flatfish CD transport or a skeletal design along the lines of their SOL. And ... | |
| Where is Cary Audio? Electronic Audio Supply, Cary's sister company and personal project of DH made some fine budget gear too. | |
| Uturn Orbit turntable I should have updated this older posting. I ended purchasing a new demo Thorens TD-203 belt drive turntable w/ electronic speed change and their uni-pivot tonearm. It is superb. The price was brought down so it may be better than the others I was... | |
| Best cheap integrated amp Thanks for the recommendations. Reviews seem to indicate the NAD 316BEE and Emotiva TA100 may be the best <$500 integrated amps, with the edge to the NAD. The Emotiva includes a DAC which I don't necessarily need. What do you think of these? | |
| Best cheap integrated amp Though this system sounds very good I’m considering downgrading the amp for a few reasons: 1. Infrequent use the system, so I question the logic of owning a $2k tube amp.2. The matter of inconvenience of letting a tube amp warm up for best perform... | |
| Best cheap integrated amp Probably was Saturday Audio Exchange selling 'B' stock. | |
| Best cheap integrated amp Atoll IN30 is seems like a good choice if I can find one in the USA for under $500. | |
| Best cheap integrated amp Thanks Lostinbostom & Crustycoot. | |
| Best cheap integrated amp Thanks for these recommendations. To reiterate, I'm buying new. The NAD and Music Hall are the only ones in my price. I will study these. | |
| Technics or Thorens, need suggestions I nominate the Thorens as I have an entry Thorens belt drive turntable w/ Ortofon 2m Blue and it’s quite nice. The suspension and better arm on the TD1600 is a big plus for sure and with a Ortofon 2m Black it would make a nice set up with your Mac... | |
| Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 The problem for me with the Sphinx is the class D amp section. Lots of negative personal comments of class D amplification on the AudioAsylum audio forums. It deterred me. I’d research a little more before taking the plunge on a class D hybrid amp... | |
| What's the best integrated amp in the $1500-$2000 range? You can easily get an awesome tube integrated amp in that $1.5-2K price from PrimaLuna or their sister company Mystere. I’m extremely satisfied with my Mystere IA11 amp from Upscale Audio in a vinyl system which is listed in "virtual systems". If ... | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? To those who think it's ugly, put your creative hat on and build a nice wood veneered cabinet over it. The guts doesn't have to change and your can be tailored to your visual preference. |
