| Benchmark DAC3 or Bryston BDA2 or 3 The Bryston plays PCM up to 384khz and 4XDSD. I only have a few files like that but the Benchmark stops at 192 and 1xDSD. Not worth the price to switch to the Bryston but Audirvana can upsample everything to that.Any thoughts on the benefit of the... | |
| Benchmark DAC3 or Bryston BDA2 or 3 I’m also interested in any feedback. I have a Benchmark DAC 3 HGC now but since adding a Bryston BP 26 and seeing the HDMI/SACD capabilities in the BDA-3 and 3.14 I’m intrigued. | |
| Banana Plugs too narrow Are they locking bananas? If so, you need to tighten the collar after you slip them in. This expands the post for a tight fit. | |
| Can a plug adapter be used for 2 power cords leaving a power conditioner's receptacle? I use one of these Pangea power strips to expand the number of outlets on my power conditioner: | |
| Krell K-300i vs Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 I owned a KAV 300i in the nineties. It was my first 'high end' component and it was really good. The transparency, timing, and bass slam were disproportional to the small size.I spent much more on separate pre amps and amps before I bettered the K... | |
| Phonostage Advice There's a Pass Labs Aleph Ono for sale for $1400 on Agon right now. I have one and love it. Lot's of gain and very quiet. | |
| If I were to replace my VPI Airies1 with a 4k or so budget? I can't help you with your question but I can suggest you wait to hear the Delos on the Aries. I have an Aries 1 with a Lyra Kleos and it sounds amazing.You may decide the extra real estate is worth it, especially if you ditch the flywheel and jus... | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue I had the same problem after moving my table from a sand-filled platform to a new wife friendly cabinet. A Ginko cloud platform solved it for me. | |

| New Active Crossover... Bryston 10B, JL audio CR1, Pass Labs XVR1 or First Watt B5? I have the 10B-STD. My system is very transparent and I didn't notice any degradation in sound after installing. If there was any it was far outweighed by the improvements that came from properly crossing over my subs.Having the flexibility to set... | |
| Your thoughts about an upgrade I can't comment specifically about your current setup vs. Quatro CT/M5-HPA combo as I've never heard the M5-HPA, but what you are considering is a major step up in every way (investment included).Going from the VTL to a separate pre/amp combo and ... | |
| RCA to XLR - How bad are the current crop of adapters ? Cardas makes the best. They have a Clear version and a regular version. They are $120 and $200 a pair. Expensive, but they are the best. The cheap adapters are different degrees of crap. | |
| Amazon just killed Tidal I just signed up and only see 12 'ultra hd' albums available. Am I missing something? | |
