| Help me pick a Dac I have carefully listened to 6 DACs in the last 6 weeks in a system set up to do level matched A/B or in one case A/B/C comparisons. The differences in DACs are generally small so any "upgrade" you make may not provide you with the improvement yo... | |
| Allnic H 7000 XLR out. No idea about the technology but I run my H-3000 with balanced cables and it sounds fantastic. I didn't try the RCA outputs because my best cables were all balanced. You should let your ears be the judge of how it sounds in your system. | |
| 2a3 Tubes - Favorites? When I was using a 2A3 tube amp the best tubes I had was were the Kron 2A3SQ that I bought directly from the manufacturer for about 600 euros. They outperformed a variety of NOS tubes. But NOS 2A3 tubes are still relatively cheap so I would sugg... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Tube Replacement. @immatthewj I have the LinLai E-6SN7 tubes in all 6 sockets since I used the SLP-05 balanced. I don't use headphones so I have cheap throw away tubes in the other two sockets. It has never been clear to me if you could leave those sockets empty ... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Tube Replacement. @couger4u The Linlai E-6SN7 tubes fit fine in the SLP-05. I tried a variety of NOS and new production tubes and I liked the LinLai tubes the best. They are very transparent and neutral with excellent top and bottom end extension. I think they e... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Tube Replacement. The Linlai E-6SN7's were my tube of choice in the SLP-05. As @immatthewj noted you only need 4 of them if you aren't running balanced. My SLP-05 sounded a bit better with balanced ins and outs but not as good with mixed inputs but your experienc... | |
| One DAC to Rule it All I use the DBX DriveRack PA2 to control my subs. In my opinion you are doing it wrong. Take one output from your preamp and send it full range to your amp. Take the second output from the preamp and send that to the DBX and use the software on t... | |
| I found my new reference album Her first album, Outside Child, is very different but also fantastic. Both records are very well pressed. | |
| New Phono Cart with Character Needed What kind of "wows"? The Denon DL-103 is a very musical warm enjoyable cartridge but it isn't going to blow you away with its 3D soundstage. I never used it with my P6 and it might not be a good match for the P3 tonearm but there is a reason why... | |
| VPI JMW 9" and Rega P6 Tonearm Mounting Holes @mijostyn The Schroder looks like a very nice arm but I have already bought the Blackbird. | |
| VPI JMW 9" and Rega P6 Tonearm Mounting Holes @mijostyn Why do you doubt VPI uses the 222 mm standard? My old VPI Aries Scout measures at 222mm pivot to spindle using a Feickert protractor. I would have assumed they would have kept it the same for the newer Scoutmaster. And it is really th... | |
| VPI JMW 9" and Rega P6 Tonearm Mounting Holes @viridian I'm not sure if you didn't really read my post or if it wasn't clear what I was asking but your answer isn't accurate for the turntables or my question. The VPI Scoutmaster originally came with a JMW 9" arm and it does have a hole drill... | |
| Streaming DAC recommendation I use the Gustard R26 which is brillant streaming Roon over an ethernet connection. My local audio shop recommends the Eversolo DMP-A6 or A-8. | |
| Tekton Open Baffle Speakers They aren't really $3K. If you go to Tekton's Facebook page you will see that the $3K is like a preorder deposit. They will still charge you $7K. The exact post by Tekton was "$7K per pair. $3K deposit gets you in the queue." That might seem... | |
