| RME ADI-2 direct to amp Check out post on hifi shark there are some that run RME direct into amp with good results. I have the RME version 2 with Teddy Pardo power supply and MHDT dac. I like both for different reasons. If I had to pick one it may have to be RME. The RME... | |
| I love sad music Ray Lamontagne, Shawn Phillips, Lucinda Williams just to name a few off top of my head. My daughter many times will open the door and ask if I'm okay and have to laugh and give her a hug and tell her I'm okay, which I am. Sad music can put me in a... | |
| Tube imperfections I have the mhdt in a second system and find the 6n3 comes across with a nice cleaner sound thank the GE or WE. The strange thing is and I may try it is to get tube adapters ($25 very nice quality) from Garage 1217 web site and run 6922 or 6sn7's. ... | |
| Help with adding turntable to my room...cartridge advice for Rega P6 My brother has a p6, just do a little research and find one that doesn't hum as needle gets closer to center of record. P6 is a nice table. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? I find Mac book vs streamer very noisy. Music seems to come across much more relaxed more detail and much better soundstage with a dedicated streamer to me.. | |
| Question about Teddy Pardo PSU for my DAC I have a r2r dac and also a RME adi2 v2 dac that I am using a Teddy Pardo power supply with the RME with Auralic streamer. The Pardo supply made a very nice improvement. First thing I noticed was sound stage was taller wider and deeper, noise flo... | |
| How to do room acoustics correction the easy way. Everyone is right acoustic panels may be needed. I went cheap route to test waters then went to thick Dow Corning type board. Cheap way to test is go to A/C supply store and pick up a 10x4, 1 inch thick insulation duct board for $50 to see what re... | |
| Ever Hear a Tube CD player? I ran across a used Exemplar audio Denon 2900 tube CD player for $400 or $500 10 or so years ago it was so cheap I snatched it up knowing it retailed for over $4000. When it arrived I was shocked how enjoyable it was to listen to. It came with Mul... | |
| Speaker cabels for dark sounding speakers? If your open to changing out caps in the crossover and can solder that could be another alternative and cheaper than buying cables. Clarity cap CMR or on the cheap Sonicaps will pull the sound out from being dark. Silver cables will make it bright... | |
| Is a Chord Qutest Dac my best option I agree with siox statement which type of sound reproduction your looking for. I tried the Qutest and liked it very much but the RME adi-2 version 2 worked better in my system. I found the Qutest had a slightly better soundstage but the RME had be... | |
| Does the Chord TT2 Dac need a linear supply device? I experienced a nice step up adding a 12v 2a Teddy Pardo power supply to a RME adi-2 dac. RME says it will not help adding aftermarket psu, I find that not to be true. I found it to be worth the investment. | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? Here are preamp, streamer and dac to check out or read up on. Someone mentioned the Schmitt Freya which runs 6sn7 tubes is a great suggestion. Also mentioned was PS Audio. I owned a PS audio PCA-2 preamp with outboard power supply and thought it s... | |
| USB vs Coax Is one better than the other? Thanks for advise, I did check with a SPL meter and had to back down 3 notches on a 100 step preamp with the coax wire to match USB before I posted. I like that USB sample rate is higher but I do find some high-rez is not always the best in my sys... | |
| Help with DAC and Streamer suggestions I'm just putting together my first streaming front end and have no idea what I'm doing, but first thing I noticed was you said "all Pangea power cables on all components." I would change out some of the Pangea for others out there, I think everyth... |
