| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? let me add some gas to the "fire-ery" discussion. If it possible that the albums from the 40's, 50's and early 60's had white noise built into their recordings? At this time sold state was not "state of the art" in recording studios...might it not... | |
| < $3000 speaker recommendation for tube integrated amp? great bookshelf speakers - Fritz Carbon IV Mk II for around $2,500 new. Had them for little under year - loved them ! Upgraded to Fritz Carrera 7 BE | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? 2nd for the Fritz speakers, matched them with a tube amp and you wont be sorry....I'm only sorry I cant buy another pair for my living room (that is my wife's room :-) | |
| Need help finding a new phono stage. I had Jasmine LP2.O for a year. Read the reviews, but easily below $600 if you can find it. I really enjoyed the flexibility and musicality of thos.phono pre-amp. Phillip Holmes tweaks the $639 Jasmine LP2.0 SE phono preamp - Dagogo https://www.d... | |
| Most impressive small footprint speaker I cant believe no one has added the Fritz Carbon 7 or Fritz Carrera BE speakers. 16"x11"x10" and dont take my word for it...just Google these and read the 40-50 reviews on the quality of these for less than $3k...anyone else feel this way? | |
| Why a separate DAC? @tube444 I tend to agree with your comments and others; when looking to buy new components within your existing system it is best if you can try and buy but just as good buying the best gear within your budget...used. I have read great reviews on ... | |
| Why a separate DAC? @Jeffseight I would love to be there but I am on the other side of the US! @WC1 thanks for your input. The Fritz Carbon's are about 87db sensitivity, great speakers, amazing reviews cuts out the middleman selling direct. Overall system is very rev... | |
| Why a separate DAC? I would like to thank everyone for their input, for someone who has gone from the solid state to tube experience with multiple amps and is now on the digital journey it looks like I will try to get a 30 day trial for the Mhdt Labs Orchid R2R NOS D... | |
| Why a separate DAC? @gdrnBob I agree the DAC technology is changing quickly. I believe that I can use the Yamaha CD as output to DAC. @soix I really appreciate your advice on the try and buy. Thanks! | |
| Why a separate DAC? @simao - I have the Yamaha CD-N500 CD Player, 192KHz/32-bit Burr-Brown DAC with Ethernet port for connection to network. @ mike_in_nc the Audiolab AAV-MDACPLUS Digital Audio Converter Pre-Amplifier looks interesting, but as everyone has in... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. I second: Fritz Carrera BE. Own a pair in similar size room and at 86db will drive almost anything with unbelievable imaging and solid bass to around 37HZ. And Fritz has 30 day trial period with full refund....how can you go wrong! | |
| Does SS phono preamp negate tube amp sound? Thank you fo reveryone's responses. Looks like I have another piece of gear I have to save up for :-) | |
| Does SS phono preamp negate tube amp sound? One other question, what about running a SUT between TT and phon pre amp? Cinemag ? | |
| Does SS phono preamp negate tube amp sound? Running Linn Sonedeck LP12 w/ Hana SL cartridge. Impedance >400ohms. Would Croft work? | |
| Does SS phono preamp negate tube amp sound? Thank you for your time and insight. Greatly appreciate it. Will have to tube phono preamp and see...or at least demo one. Any you have in mind for under $1k? |
