| I need opinions, Schhit Freya+ and an appropriate Amp wolf, you react, as if you, personally, are being attacked. Take a chill pill..………..it is all about the music, and we, as listeners, are all individuals, with our own ideas, interpretations, opinions, experiences, etc. All good buddy. In fact, did... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp To embrace what georgehifi was saying, you can get a pair of Nuforce STA 200’s at $499 each and, passively, vertically biamp the 7s. Most people are clueless to a configuration like this, but it is quite amazing. I am using the exact set up on a 3... | |
| I need opinions, Schhit Freya+ and an appropriate Amp wolf, say what you want ( as you always do ), but descriptions on various threads, including musicians threads, speak of " color ", warmth ", and " roundness " of tubes, especially bass players and drummers, where quickness, tightness and control ... | |
| I need opinions, Schhit Freya+ and an appropriate Amp I have not heard the Aegirs, but I own 2 STA 200s, which drive my several pair of Klipsch exceptionally well ( drives all my other speakers as well ). I do have many other amplifiers as well. I have also gone passive, as a preamp no longer makes s... | |
| "Dazed and Confused" about upgrading current speakers I would try and bypass the CJ preamp, as it could be adding to much warmth, robbing you of exactly what you are saying you are missing ( try an inexpensive passive unit, such as a Schiit Sys, or a Douk Audio passive, the HiFi version on the Bay ).... | |
| I need opinions, Schhit Freya+ and an appropriate Amp I will play devil's advocate here. 1st and foremost, I am an old time Klipsch Heritage fan boy, Klipsch Heritage expert, and a retired audio consultant, whatever...….I know Klipsch ( the Forte II was marketed as a Heritage model after it's release... | |
| Should I add a Preamp to my system Another preamp / passive thread ? Read through some of the other threads here, as you will get so many opinions, for, or against. I prefer passive, as any gain stage I have had ( preamp ), colored, and sacrificed, details, in all aspects of my rec... | |
| From ZERO to Hero? To the OP. Are you hearing problems or issues with your system ? These transformers are made as band aids to help with the amplifier / speaker interface, when impedance issues are present. McIntosh is the only ss amp company making autoformers as ... | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour The " stated " signal to noise ratio on the Veritas seems to be much lower than on the 116, 128 db vs. 110 db. Is this a mistake ? | |
| Tekton or Klipsch Never heard the Tekton DIs. Very popular. I have been a Klipsch " Heritage " fan boy for 50 years. I can hear, through Klipsch, differences in fuses, so I feel they have detail and convey nuance. Kefs with a pair of subs will not give you the dyna... | |
| Tortuga Preamps If only the Lightspeed had 3 inputs......I would sacrifice a " little " in sq for the convenience. George feels it sacrifices a lot in sq, and who am I to doubt him. Likely the best passive out there. Which, to me, means, it is the best, as I no l... | |
| Tortuga Preamps I purchased a while ago, the Luminous Audio Axiom, Series 2, with Walker Mods, 3 in, 2 out, single ended, with remote, and I love it. It is not LDR based. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Use this song if you are doing an A/B with Preamps There are many recordings I use for evaluating gear, but I particularly like using Stevie Ray Vaughn's " Tin Pan Alley " to do any equipment evaluations ( studio version from the album " Couldn't Stand the Weather " ). Enjoy ! MrD. | |

| Using a 100 Volt amp on our 120 volt power line ? Hi all. After more than a year of posting this thread, I am planning on purchasing a 100 volt cd player from Japan, and I am looking for a suggestion for an excellent quality, proper converter, for use here, with our USA 120 volts. Under 100 watts... |
