| Preamp Question A few questions. How did you use the Freya, tube gain, jfet buffer, or passive ? I could understand the sources sounding better direct to the amplifier. Are you happy with the sound of each connected to the amp ? I suppose what I am getting at, wo... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? George, picture is just a picture. Did you know that Alps never referred to the control as a Blue Velvet. Nowhere on their web site have I found it. If you could find it, please post it. I believe some audiophile engineer, in using it, gave it tha... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? George, if you look further down on the Douk page of the device, in the specification section, it states that the Alps 27 pot is 50K ohms. I have not taken mine apart, which would be easy, but I am telling you, it sounds quite invisible. | |
| 3 great tube preamps. Which would you purchase? This will be coming from left field, but YMMV. Change the amp, as you are describing the sonics of that particular Class D amplifier. There, I said it. I am also coming from a standpoint that the best preamp is no preamp, so again, YMMV. All the b... | |
| Jadis DA-7 Very warm and lush sounding, if that is what you are looking for. Some of my best listening experiences included Jadis gear. That is all I have to say. | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range Tube equipment, and hot running Class A amplification, I would ( have ) turned off. All other ss gear, I leave on, which sounds better, and I believe, lessens wear and tear on a product. But, both of these points to leave gear on 24/7, is always d... | |
| Used Amp Under $1000 Unfortunately, the Japanese use speaker switching, which limits current and adds some noise. Internally bypass the speaker switching, change out the speaker output jacks to better ones, and replace the stock power cord with a beefier, heavier gaug... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? Cleaner than the Sys...Ebay item # 253818627052...HiFi version. $40 or less, shipped. About what you would pay to build one. Promise.. | |
| NAD 3020 I owned several of them throughout my years. Should have kept at least one. What amazed me most about the design ( everything actually ), a single power transformer was used ( obviously a price decision ), and it still sounded spectacular ! | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range I would start with the one, for your Behringer, and let your ears tell you. Nothing more. The new pc will be obvious, but it will require a bit of " break in ". How much, depends. Let the amp play music with the new cord for a week, and you will b... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range Awesome jetter. Enjoy ! | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range bstat, jetter, I made a recommendation on a very good, inexpensive power cord. Did either of you do anything about it, to try? Enjoy ! MrD | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? fleschler, you worded it better than I did in my post : not to play the same record over and over again, giving the vinyl time to relax, as that was spoken about at that seminar. It is possible in that video I spoke of, the vinyl, as you say, was ... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? There is a poster on another thread that uses a 1/3rd octave 31 band eq, as his passive device ( it has dual channel gain controls ). He compared it, flat, to 5 K preamps, and says it is superior to his ears. I have the same eq ( and I tried it vi... | |
| Double Advent wiring question... If people agreed with you and were ecstatic about your stacked double Advents, your attitude would be different for sure. Sometimes you have to take a few hits along the way, but this is part of posting here. You can always ask the administrators ... |
