| After the thrill is gone @inscrutable I'm rather where you are however my pop (RIP) made the choice for me. I inherited his system which was SOTA 25 years ago... I'll spare you all the full front end inventory. The electronics and speakers however are Jadis pre and Defy7... | |
| New equipment LOL... I feel for you sir. About four years ago I changed "one little thing" then went on a two year hunt and wound up changing everything but my TT and speakers. Oh well...🙄 Happy listening! | |
| Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp In a somewhat analogous situation, I ran a pair of Hafler DH-220s bridged into a pair of Acoustat 1+1 and RHLabs sub. I thought it sounded fine until someone smarter than me pointed out that the amps were likely quite unstable in that configurati... | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Acoustat 1+1s, 7'10" tall B&W Matrix 800, 240lbs each | |
| Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio @nonoise My sincere apologies! My mistake... @ozzy62 Please make note. 😉 | |
| Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio @jjss49 Ah thank you for the citations and clarification on this process! 👌 So the D to A process is still happening, they're being creative with the design to do it with. Slick. Happy listening. | |
| Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio @nonoise If you use the digital output of the Bluesound Node, you ARE using it's internal DAC. The only way to it is to use the analog outputs, which there are not analog inputs on the Peachtree amp. I'm sorry sir however, you have that exact... | |
| Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio @nonoise There is a coax in on that GaN that would come from your DAC. In the case of the Bluesound, it has an internal DAC. However you could insert an external DAC between the Bluesound and the GaN. Volume control could be via either the DAC o... | |
| How do you arrange the order of your records? Alphabetical by band/artist, then chronological inside that. Jazz are separate as is Classical. However, Classical is a bit of a problem isn't it? Do you sort by composer? By conductor? By performer? I've inherited my father's 3,400 LP collect... | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets One thing that I am curious about is if upgraded power cables will eliminate the issue of my lights dimming when listening at reasonable high volume. I had that happen to me in an older home. Over the years the connections at the wall outlet ca... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive Interesting thread! Although we hear in binaural fashion, hearing impediments aside, the world comes at us from all directions. I think part of the reason why "stereo" is the dominant playback method was the technology for both recording and playb... | |
| Am I nuts? I'm guessing it's an early Audio Research? In that case, there are many other possible candidates out there. Don't get me wrong, I'm an ARC fanboy. 😉 But you simply can NOT get lasers for the early ones anymore... In fact, I'm hoping I can still ... | |
| Decisive moments your your audio journey Early 70's, when I heard pop's double KLH-9 setup with ARC electronics. Late 70's, my double Large Advent setup with Advent 300 pre and GAS Ampzilla. Mid 80's, my Acoustat 1+1s, RHLabs sub, monoblock Hafler DH220s and ARC SP3a Late 90's, pop's ... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II "I'm not saying I'll never look at DACs again, but right now, I'm ok👌😊" How refreshing! An audiophile who says "Good enough!". Well done mate! IMHO this avocation of ours is very subjective. Sometimes it also means we don't stop to "smell the ... | |
| Jadis DA-7 fuse? @imhififan -- Right, I’m aware of how to see a fuse rating from the markings however, there was a fuse in there of questionable lineage so was seeking the RIGHT value. @vair68robert -- Thank you. Fortunately for me Msr. du Pech of Jadis e-mailed ... |
