| Budget Tube Amp (newbie) I also love Decware, but I have only owned (still own 2) of their low WPC amps and those low WPC amps wouldn't drive those speakers as well as PrimaLuna in my experience. I know they make some higher power ones. | |
| Budget Tube Amp (newbie) Pick a used PrimaLuna integrated that’s at the top end of your price range (I do think they improve up model, so pay for what you can afford). They are a great gateway drug into tubes and they can drive fairly difficult loads, and certainly medium... | |
| Cary Audio SLI-80HS vs Primaluna Dialogue HP or Evo Integrated Amps Don't get me wrong, the amp sounds awesome with EL34s. But in my opinion a very different/more relaxed sound than the KT family, and yeah, the KT150s did all the things KT120s did but better with no downside I could find. And the KT120s were a s... | |
| Cary Audio SLI-80HS vs Primaluna Dialogue HP or Evo Integrated Amps Primaluna Dialogue HP is great, but IMHO if you don't run KT150s in it (expensive) you are not hearing it at it's best. I made the mistake of going KT120 before KT150 and should have just gone KT150 from the start. Phenomenal headphone amp is a ... | |
| Network Switches This feels like a rather heated thread and so I am sure that my opinion will rub some the wrong way, but that's fine.I am not a technician but I have spent a great deal of time and money over the years trying to make my digital as good as I can, a... | |
| PS Audio PowerPlant P20 better than pure direct AC I get during the night? @68pete Can you elaborate on what improvements you found over the P10? My issue is I have a million things to plug in in my system, and I find the P10 to seemingly do a nice job of providing clean power and also eliminating cross-feed of electric... | |
| PS Audio new Stellar Phono PreAmp? Hi, how is it going into week #2? Have you heard it change much? | |
| Aurender N100H with PS Audio Directstream DAC--USB output level is very low--any ideas? So the Aurender team was able to identify a mismatch in settings specific to how it was using USB to the Directstream...the tech noted it was odd they hadn't found this situation before with the combo as they suspect it's a pretty common combo. A... | |
| Aurender N100H with PS Audio Directstream DAC--USB output level is very low--any ideas? It’s at 90. It’s too low even at 100. | |
| Aurender N100H with PS Audio Directstream DAC--USB output level is very low--any ideas? Tried all 3 usb connections and the same result with each, but I was definitely using the one intended for Audio first. Thanks for the idea. | |
| Aurender N100H with PS Audio Directstream DAC--USB output level is very low--any ideas? No, the mute works on the DAC anyway, and can't find anything like that on the Aurender. I'll give them a call, thanks. | |
| Zu Druid 6 Phil, I honestly am super pumped at the research you’re doing. You totally had me at Klangfilm! He certainly sounds like an awesome "find" and I look forward to hearing his amp(s) at some point. I certainly will be watching for your continued find... | |
| Zu Druid 6 Phil, I get it. I'm doing somewhat the same with a few other guys (although likely a tad more expensive per hour than the gent you've found). I'm very intrigued by your findings so far. Xiao Nan's amps are insanely low priced even if using simp... | |
| Zu Druid 6 Phil, thanks. I really didn’t mean to imply "cheap" or "less impressive" when I typed "less expensive." I just merely noted that I think most of your current findings are, in fact, less expensive (much?) than your previous recommended amps over th... | |
| Zu Druid 6 Ralph, thank you. I'm probably going to get around to sending them in to you for those last upgrades. As I said I really love them already and I know they've got more to give with the vcaps. It goes without saying that your amps have endless po... |
