| Tube integrated Also, I have Legacy Audio Signature SEs. I contacted them and was recommended to use tube amps at 30 WPC and above. Though I have successfully drove them with a Coincident Dynamo SET, which is only 8 WPC, so I think 25 ish watts and above should ... | |
| Tube integrated @1graber2 The issue is XLR outout of some dacs are optimized/better than the RCA, my Metrum dac is one of these. But It's not a deal breaker or anything, I can use RCA as well, just prefer XLR.@wolf_garcia I will look into the Jolida.@jafant Yes, ... | |
| Tube integrated How about Mastersound Duetrenta? Anyone familiar with that? | |
| Tube integrated @helomech Hah! that would explain the price.@mr_m I have the all SS system, I want the tube amp to be all tube. But if I'm gonna keep it off, I suppose it could be Class A as well. As long as near 30 watts. | |
| Tube integrated @czbbcl Fair enough actually, that's why I want something with a good protection circuit, and I'll keep it off, I'm not too worried about warm up time I suppose, I don't think it takes more than 10 minutes or so to get an amp going. | |
| Tube integrated @donvito101 That VPI looks great, thanks! | |
| Tube integrated It's not a hard requirement I guess, I can use RCA. | |
| Tube integrated @yogiboy Hi, my main system is a solid sate seperates system. I wanna get a hassle free tube integrated for just to switch things up now and then. But if the sound is great then I just wanna keep it on. My eventual plan is to sell my SS separates ... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 I am sorry, I should have been a bit more clear in my post. I am talking about the new DAC from Metrum, called Onyx. It's made with the same DAC2 modules as the Pavane 3, but instead of 4 modules per channel, it has 2 modules per channel. And ac... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 @gdhal, yes possibly, I’d say it’s the best dac (depending on your taste: r2r/delta-sgma, OS/NOS) within the 2K - 6K range. We all know, money doesn’t equate to quality of course. I also know what you have obviously, due to the other thread and I’... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Fairly certain I know which dac is the best under $3500. | |
| Falling out of love with tubes " By “going direct” I meant plugging the headphone out jack of my computer into the input of the SA-250 amp and using the volume control of the computer. Also, my Denon cassette player has an output level control. Thanks!"--- A few things, your tu... | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? Yes, you have no experience with things in general, which is obvious. You are fundamentally misunderstanding life. | |

| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? " A re-occurring theme in these integrated units are these digital volume control schemes, usually some kind of electronically-controlled resistor ladder. Even very high-quality units everyone loves like the Esoterics use these. Virtually all soli... |
