| Tannoy gold 12" cabinets They are beautiful. I am not knowledgeable enough to suggest improvements on those. I would sign up for the email list on the the Tannoy blog that hans Runs. https://www.hilberink.nl/codehans/tannoy100.htmYou will get exactly the information you n... | |
| Tannoy gold 12" cabinets I am still building. What I figured out is that it is very much about the cabinet volume and not what dimensions you use to get there. Unless you are skilled enough to build or want to spend thousands on really complicated cabinets.The 12" golds w... | |
| Speakers Also look at the Celstion Ditton line. 66's 44's or 33's. Also IMF TLS 50's or 80'sAlways recap these if not already done. Makes a huge difference. There are a million great 70's speakers out there in your budget. | |
| Stereo pre-amps with dual outs for bi-amping and a subwoofer line out If the outputs are just jumpered at the preamp is there really any reason to bi amp. I can see it in a fully active system with external crossovers. I had a 3 amp Linn System like that and heard the difference. I can never really say I have heard... | |
| Vinyl***What If*** 👍👍 2 thumbs to all that mentioned the entire experience. It is fun to hunt fkr them on a weekend at thrift stores and auctions or on holiday. The albums become prised and cared for possessions. Listening sessions become just that and not backgroun... | |
| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? Switching from NAD M51 Dac (very good) to an Audio Note 3.1. A week later I changed out the Bryston 1b pre for a Audio Note M3 line pre.Just another level I guess. | |

| Shipping speakers Packing is a big part of not getting your products damaged. Use open cell packing not styrofoam. It is too rigid and does not allow for cushining from impact. Swimming noodles are excellent and cheap to. I will use styrofoam around the outside an... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. My Audio Note 3.1 is the best I have heard and it does not upsample at all. | |
| When do you turn off the tubes? Mine are on most of the time. I was told it was start up that caused most issues and a larger percentage of tube wear? I have a tube DAC and Pre with SS amp. | |
| Using a lap top cd drive instead of highend cd player The DAC has 1 coax in and R/L rca out to the preamp.Canare LV-61S coaxial cable 1 meter | |
| Using a lap top cd drive instead of highend cd player Excellent info from all. I have a Pioneer DVD DV 563A-S with 2 chanel audio rca's. It also has an optical and coaxial digital audio out. Would the Pioneer connect straight to my Dac via the coaxial or will my prodigy cube have to play a role in this? | |
| Using a lap top cd drive instead of highend cd player Thanks for all the input. I had a look for a CD transport but found cd players and transports all listed together. What inputs / outputs are different on a transport and what connections must a cd player have to make it usable as a transport only.... | |
| Using a lap top cd drive instead of highend cd player So I am missing something.Apologies. I failed to mention I run a Prodigy cube (converter side only) in between the laptop and the DAC. A 75 ohm coax cable connects the Prodigy to the DAC and and USB from laptop to prodigy. The AN does not have a u... | |
| Using a lap top cd drive instead of highend cd player I should also add that I have never heard a high end CD player. |
