| if someone can help me...... If you changed caps and resistors you need 200 to 400 hours before anything will start to come back to normal. If you put Teflon caps in they need a crazy amount of time. If you keep switching out wires it will also take 12 to 48 hours before thin... | |
| Better R2R DAC Recommendation? I really enjoy my Orchid. If you do go MHDT Orchid buy the Garage 1217 6sn7 and 6922 adapters only $50 shipped for both. If you can solder, if you choose you don’t even have to flip the circuit boards, clip the leads and put in better caps in key ... | |
| Squeaking/Paper Crinkling Noise Coming from Lamm LL2.1 Call Signature Sound he’s a very nice guy and is open minded to all gear. I asked if I had a problem with my Audio Hungary integrated amp would he look at it and said he would if it needed to be fixed. He is very knowledgeable, can’t hurt to call.... | |
| Electric cars will ruin late night listening? Bugsnest, I don’t think power conditioners help DC in your lines, they may but it didn’t help me. I have a Running Springs Dmitri, Hayley and PI Audio Uberbuss and tried them all when I had a mechanical transformer hum on a Conrad Johnson amp. ... | |
| Electric cars will ruin late night listening? It was a joke in a serious way. I had to bring a amp to the house of the guy that works on my gear. He had a guy build a house next to him and they had to start to share the same transformer and said his electricity voltage started to fluctuate an... | |
| Best dac under $2500 - comparing build quality and technologies I was in same price range for a dac, but knew not being able to demo thought I would experiment and buy 2 dacs on different end of spectrum. I kept total for both around $2500. I bought 2 dacs I knew I could sell fast. I picked up a RME adi-2 with... | |
| Best Integrated/Control Amp for less than $5000 Conrad Johnson CAV 45. This is my first CJ and was really surprised due to the stereotypical reputation of the CJ sound. I’m very impressed how transparent, detailed and airy, maybe this is due to no preamp section. Just stays crystal clear at the... | |
| I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls.... If you only stream look at the RME adi-2. RME has multiple presets for the EQ to choose from. It has a loudness button for time listening at low volume which boost bass/fullness and clarity. Has bass and treble buttons also balance all the above o... | |
| Best cheap $200 ish speaker stands with free shipping ??? VTI looks interesting, I just checked them out, nice for the money. | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? Canare 4s11, there not going to sound like $1000 plus cables but they are very nice. I think you can pick them up for $1.50 a foot. I tried some after reading reviews, was very impressed, long breakin. I hooked them up in garage and let them run a... | |
| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... Sugden and Rogers can be found used in $2000 range | |
| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... Sugden A21se 25 watt class A. Even though your not up for tubes which I think will sound better with your speakers look at Rogers 65v-2. It only uses 2 power tubes el34 to kt-88 so heat will be minimum and tube cost is low. I owned Altec 604 long ... | |
| Upgraded McCormack DNA-1 or Dennis Had Inspire SEP? Just thought I would through this in if you keep the McCormack, it sounded to me very good with 6sn7 preamps. I ran the Rouge 99 magnum and Cary 98. The Rouge helped clean things up and Cary mad things more organic. I ran combination of Ken Rads w... | |
| Upgraded McCormack DNA-1 or Dennis Had Inspire SEP? I had the DNA rev A modded mono blocks 15 or so years ago with some Joseph Audio’s. I don’t know the mods SMC are doing now. The amps were very very nice. I don’t know how to describe it but they were a little thick or warm in the mids and detail ... | |
| Primaluna? I’ve got to comment on the gentleman that said the Don Sachs Kootenay was drier and sounds more solid state. Sir you can’t be more farther from the truth. I own a Kootenay and my brother owns a Evo 400. I’m not going to get into a comparison. |
