| Supratek Owners Thread @sim_audio_nerd i bought it on Ali Express. You’ll need your original remote to teach it but it’s very easy to do. Aluminum alloy material infrared signal learning remote control, 2-button, simple style, high-end audiophile https://a.aliexpress... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Just upgraded my Chardonnay with a new remote control. Nice heavy aluminum and just the 2 buttons I need. The remote Mick supplies is fine but this just has a nicer feel and no unnecessary buttons. Easy to program. Sounds better too. ;-) | |
| LAIV Harmony @no_regrets Michael Lavorgna reviewed both DACs on twitteringmachines.com. Each review describes his sonic impressions and he makes some comparisons. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @sim_audio_nerd Thanks! That must be a really nice combo. What speakers are you using? And are you running balanced connectors between the Grange and Coda and have you compared that to RCA connectors? | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @tksteingraber Nice Decware! My speakers (Devore Fidelity Nines) can run on 20 watts but they seem to come alive with more power. I'm using the Chardonnay now with 3 different amps -- Schiit Aegir (two running balanced as monoblocks), a Line Mag... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread I joined the Supratek owner’s club recently with a new-to-me Chardonnay. Very happy with it. It’s been a better than expected improvement to the music over my Schiit Freya+. What amps are people using with their Supratek? | |
| Solid State Low powered Amplifiers I’d recommend the Schiit Aegir. I use one with Devore Nines and it’s an excellent amp. They are about $500 on the used market so fairly low cost just to try out. Good luck with your search. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century @snopro Thanks! That’s exactly what I’ll do with the subs. They do have speaker level inputs, so should be fine. @tksteingraber thanks for sharing the tech’s info and the thread. @jslateiv thanks for the explanation on the grounding — mak... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Just bought a used Supratek Chardonnay. Wow! I don't have anything super high end to compare it to -- prior preamps include Adcom GFP-750, Schiit Freya+ with some nice NOS 6SN7 tubes -- but am very happy with the purchase. One question for Suprat... | |
| Schiit Aegir-Burn in Period @mirolab I ended up returning the Aegir 2 because it was going into protection at lower volume than my original Aegir, which surprised me. I ended up returning it for that reason and getting another OG Aegir to run monoblocks. Very happy with t... | |
| Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings? I’m not sure it would since I don’t know the Ambre. I missed your post about your existing setup. I have heard the Innuos Pulsar and Auralic Ares G2.2 but not in my system or with the same DAC. So I don’t know what their relative sonic differe... | |
| OCD mickey website and negativity. I like Mike. I follow his YT channel and he’s entertaining and I’ve learned about some brands I didn’t know. I don’t always agree with what he’s saying but that’s a good thing. Makes me think a bit more. I’ve also met him a couple of times and ... | |
| Line Magnetic 218a vs Leben CS600 -- am I insane? (aka when good beats great) I agree with @jond . It’s not Leben vs Line Magnetic. It’s a SET vs a push pull. I have a Line Magnetic 34ia which is a PP EL34 based integrated — similar to your Leben. I really like my amp but I think your Leben might be a little better. B... | |
| Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings? I like the Holo Audio Red as a Roon endpoint. Well engineered with very low jitter. Why spend $5K to $10K on something that is built to be a streamer with custom software etc. and then just using it as an endpoint? Put the money you save into a... | |
