| Dac methodology It does not sound like a DAC issue, to me. Those are very good DACs you have.Have you decoupled your speakers from the floor? That would make a big difference in SQ, like having new speakers. Try, also, moving your speakers away from the rear wall... | |
| Schiit order issue - anyone receiving shipments? No problem here. I placed my order on New Years eve. Items have shipped out on Jan 6th.It may depend on what you are ordering. | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? I would suggest an Audio Mirror Tubadour III or MHDT Orchid DAC.I am surprised that you find the Bifrost "cold". | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? "What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC ?"Only you can answer this question. To be fair, you may not like the sound of which DAC someone here may suggest. You`ll have to listen with your own ears. | |
| a question for those "in the know" re: the future for quality FM whatjd, Thank you, for asking. I`ve known about Magnum Dynalab for a long time. Their items were beyond my affordability. I did not pay attention to them. Because of your post, I may consider them, in the future. If, I come across sufficient funds. | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? A Schiit Loki. Best $150 ever spent.I bought a NAD 118 digital preamp. It is a cross between a Schiit Loki and Black Ice F360. I bought it, brand new, at half the full retail price of $1600.Five years later, I bought an immaculate used NAD 118 for... | |

| Uprgading RCD 855 A Cambridge CXC transport. Teamed with the following DAC`s: Bifrost, Gungnir, Aries II, or MHDT Labs, would be hard to beat for that amount.The lowest priced Luxman, if you could find one. | |
| Matching tube preamp to ss amp There are plenty of tube preamps that have less than 2800 ohms output impedance. | |
| Do I need to decouple/isolate my preamp amp from my stand? I would recommend: isolate your audio stand from the floor, and isolate your source (CDP or TT) from the rest of your components. Herbie`s are the affordable way to go. | |
| What's the best integrated amp in the $1500-$2000 range? Rogue Audio Sphinx V3. Brand new, it may be the best, in that price range. | |
| Herbie’s Audio Lab still in Business? They are still in business. I received my order from them this past week. This was the second order they have fulfilled, to me, during the past month. | |
| Richard Kern modified Sony SCD-777 ES - what to replace it with #1. If I were you, I`d contact this Richard Kern, and ask, if he could replace the laser. He may have, or be able to obtain, the OEM laser for the unit. If not, I would try to purchase a used Sony 5400 ES, since you may prefer the Sony sound. |
