| Long intereconnects - Phono to Pre? Thanks for the tips. I'll try it out and see what happens! | |
| Simaudio I7 vs P5.3/W5.3 Hi Patrick,Yes I bypassed the gain stage using the A4 input. I used an Aesthetix Calypso to bypass the Sim's pre - it was a pretty huge improvement (though I suppose that it should be, for the price difference).Nirav | |
| Simaudio I7 vs P5.3/W5.3 I second Valinar's comments. I've used the I5 as an integrated, and then bypassed its internal pre so that it was used as an amp-only. The improvements were dramatic.I've read other post(s) in the past from users who have been disappointed with th... | |
| Turntable/Arm/Cart for Classic Rock; $1500 budget Thanks for the advice, everyone.I am definitely interested in direct drive because of its reputed ability to get dynamics right, but am worried about the SL1200/1210's ability to nail some of the other things I care about (low noise floor, micrody... | |
| Turntable/Arm/Cart for Classic Rock; $1500 budget Thanks everyone for the thoughtful responses.I think, based on comments, that my interest in the Basis is well-founded, and I'll keep an eye out for a 1400 on Audiogon. I like that it seems to be one of the better-built tables at this price (not s... | |

| Tube pre to mate with a Simaudio amp and Dynaudio Bradpaton - What preamp are you using (I am still using the I-5 but want to get a W3 sometime soonish) | |
| Where to buy 15' Naim Wiremold? Followup:I did not want to buy from Gene Rubin. I hear he's a great guy, but the markup is just too high when buying through Naim dealers.I shot an email over to Wiremold and received the following response:Hello -Yes - this is a stocked custom pr... | |
| best ? ss integrated for Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE I am using 1.3SEs with a SimAudio I-5 with great success for the past year.It does not appear that my I-5 is underpowering the 1.3SEs. This may be for two reasons - I'm listening in a medium-sized (not small) room and the I-5 is relatively high-cu... | |
| VINCE YOUNG On hi def? Young had a phenomenal game yesterday.That being said, I share Tvad's concerns. NFL backs will not miss tackles the way that USC did.Still, Young earned himself a high draft pick last night, and if he can keep it up I will enjoy watching him play ... | |
| Audio shops in Boston I have had two great experiences at Goodwin's High End. They treat me well even though I am quite young.They also have a wide variety of equipment and some well-thought out listening rooms. | |
| Simaudio I-5 and Dynaudio Contour S 1.4 Borrow a W-3 power-amp from your local dealer and use your I-5 as a pre. Then decide for yourself if you could use more power. | |
| Attention to anyone on Texas Gulf Coast The fact that climate has changed on its own in the past does not refute claims that recent climate change is human-induced. There are better arguments to be made against the claim that humans are the cause of global warming.I am not yet convinced... | |
| does a sim audio I-5 have enough power for 1.3se? Answer to my previous question.I bought a Sim I-5 for the 1.3SE. Am running the setup in a medium size room (~20" x ~20") and it sounds great.nirav |
