| Considering a New Tube Pre-amp As previously pointed out by @armstrod the Modwright preamp is one you should definitely look at. I started with the LS100 and moved up the the LS 99 Balanced tube preamp. Dan is one of the best in this business when it comes to quality and cust... | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? @kim108 your input & thumbs up on Odyssey is duly noted! Thanks... Interesting you mention Advance Paris as I did run across one of their used X-A160 power amps. I am not at all familiar with Advance Paris as a brand so will do a deeper dive... | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Many thanks to @jfrmusic for this awesome thread. BTW you are spot on with your Katie Melua comments. About 5 years ago as I was dipping my toe (ear and credit card ) back into audio I was captivated and fell in love listening to female vocalis... | |

| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? @kennyc @blackbag20 Great suggestion. I had not heard of Odyssey audio prior to your post. Just checked them out and certainly they check a number of boxes. Appreciate you steering me in their direction. @allenf1963 I know you were joking a... | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? Solid input all around. @yyzsantabarbara @ditusa - appreciate you reminding me of Schitt as I didn't think to consider them which is an oversight as I love the Yggy LIM DAC. I will check out the Wotan & Tyr! @allenf1963 - my "interim" system... | |

Suggestion for you is to contact Greg Roberts at Volti directly and ask him if he can put you in contact with anyone in the LA area. Greg will email or call you back and is very approachable.

| Looking for a new DAC Not sure how much "coaching" I can give re the specific DAC's you mention or sound signature. However I am responding as I have Modwright components - LS99 preamp and PH 9 phono stage. Like you my Modwright components are going to stay a part of... | |

| Shunyata Ethernet Cable User Experience- Delta vs Theta @sfpeloton - certainly appreciate your thoughts. I will go and check out the recent thread you referenced. My system leans towards the warm side bssed on my Modwright LS99 preamp with tubes. | |
| Merason dac MK1 on audio mart This DAC is still an active listing and has not been removed. With it being reported its a red flag as to why it is still being shown as active. Sorry that the OP had to go through the wringer on this. |
