| Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp? Its unlikely a bad component, its noise and you just have to pinpoint it | |
| Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp? Unplug video sources going into the C53. Unplug their AC connections and start there. If you are using the eArc on the DA2 start there it may a ground loop between the TV | |
| Choose between McIntosh MA9000 used vs MA8950 new I am mostly a tube guy and I really like the 8950. It will give decades of enjoyment. It has an excellent HT bypass mode should you ever want to integrate. An awesome Amp for sure. 3 year warranty, new amp smell.... | |
| Choose between McIntosh MA9000 used vs MA8950 new My Dad uses Sonus Faber Elector Amator III with a REL S/510 with his 8950 and it's a great sounding combo. The 9000 chassis is deeper and may be a challenge in some cabinets / stands also. I would go new, keep it nice and you are literally ... | |
| A Somewhat, Affordable Aurender Big open sound with great low end. As Blisshifi said, great detail and resolution. It’s not cheap but the build , sound , and support is top notch. If I didn’t leverage a trade toward mine I would probably not have purchased it outright and that w... | |
| A Somewhat, Affordable Aurender An A1000 would be high on my list for an all in one. I like the N200 Interface. I also have a Vault The N200 gets better with each FW Rev. | |
| A Somewhat, Affordable Aurender If in the market for a Streamer /DAC it would be high on my list. | |
| A Somewhat, Affordable Aurender No, I had listened to Innuos and already owned a Vault. I bought my N200 in a trade deal that I couldn't pass up. I'm glad I did , it's a great piece. | |
| Phono Preamp Selection I second the Sutherland KC Vibe. I have had one for a year and a half and it's been great. | |
| Choose between McIntosh MA9000 used vs MA8950 new The DA2 Is a lot better than it gets credit for. | |
| Aliexpress Marketplace practices, be for warned. The penalty for counterfeiting was a little more harsh in Colonial times. | |
| Choose between McIntosh MA9000 used vs MA8950 new My Dad has a MA8950. It is a great amp. The DAC is pretty good too. Personally I think I would go new. He is driving a 4 Ohm pair of Sonus Faber and the amp barely gets warm. | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 bypassing my preamp despite setting to fixed volume out Good call on making sure the remote is out of the equation | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 bypassing my preamp despite setting to fixed volume out If two devices can control volume through the Lampi in the digital domain then the Lampi is probably fine. You may want to restore the factory defaults on the ARC. Turn volume on streamer down just to be safe when sorting it out | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 bypassing my preamp despite setting to fixed volume out Thas why I suggested checking to see if the Lampi RCA or XLR are going into the ARC's "Processor" input. That will deliver a full 2 v or 4 v signal to the preamp and you will only be able to control volume through the streamer. |
