| Maggies to Tekton? Ever consider a Sub? A nice compliment to your Maggies that will give you " oomph and excitement". | |
| 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. | |
| DAC Upgrade from Jolida JD100? Just a revision to previous post.Jolida FX Tube DAC III w/ headphone outs. Schiit Bifrost and a Vali | |
| DAC Upgrade from Jolida JD100? Try the Jolida FX Tube DAC III. It will not break the bank. Another affordable alternative, the Schiit Bifrost. | |
| Using Tube Headphone Amp as Speaker Preamp You ask a very good question. I am surprised no one has answered, yet. Like you, I was curious about using a tubed Head amp, to do double duty, as a preamp. I`ll observe, with interest, as to what the responses will be.I purchased a Jolida FX tube... | |
| Match of Hybrid Rogue Pharaoh and B&W 803D2 speaker I can relate with the OP, about the experience. I have a pair of B&W 804`s, and that treble was fatiguing to listen to. I swapped in a hybrid tube amp, and that sure made a difference in how the music sounded. I, also, did not have to spend a ... | |
| Most satisfying system change in 2017? At the start of the year, I swapped out an ADCOM 5400 for a Jolida JD 1501P. This softened the brightness, and made my B&W`s listenable. In 2016, I discovered, that, tubes can make a difference.Teamed a multi-bit Bifrost, with a NAD 515 CDP, w... | |
| Best Cd player or Transport for $1000.00 used. Try a Rega Saturn: previous to the 'R' version. I think it is one of the better bargains, on the used market. I just want to give you a heads up- I recently had bought a Yamaha S2000, without an audition. It proved to be a little too warm sounding... | |
| Adcom? I have used an ADCOM GFA-5400/GTP-450 for 22yrs, without any issues. It was a nice step up from a receiver based system.I believe that your issues are not unique, though. I remember, when I had bought my ADCOM components, Tweeter Audio, was a big ... | |
| Any smooth jazz fans out there? Love the music, misnomer or not! Some of the best music I have ever heard. Spent alot of money on stereo, just to listen the artists you speak of. I got tired of rock music(getting older),of which, not as good as it was in the 60`s and 70`s, IMHO.... |
