| Which PreAmp for Marantz PM KI Ruby Thanks @russ69 I’ll check it out. | |
| Which PreAmp for Marantz PM KI Ruby Interesting. The reason I considered the upgrade was that when I played around with the RME as pre amp, I noticed a considerable difference in sound quality, mainly soundstage and imaging improved (to my shock). There’s a chance that it may not be... | |
| Which PreAmp for Marantz PM KI Ruby Plz help! | |
| Marantz PM Ki Ruby and RME ADI 2 (Am I crazy?) @mofojo thank you. Don’t think I’ve ever used the loudness feature. I’m going to go through the rme encyclopaedia (user manual) and play around with it. | |
| Marantz PM Ki Ruby and RME ADI 2 (Am I crazy?) @jjss49 that makes sense. Until I can afford a dedicated pre amp with solid linestages, I’m just going to stick with this. And yes, I’m really enjoying this new sound signature. Thank you! | |
| Marantz PM Ki Ruby and RME ADI 2 (Am I crazy?) @mofojo sorry but can you please elaborate? I’m not very technical. I’ve left the reference volume on auto (-5db). The volume on the rme is around -25db to -40db. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks again for your help! | |
| Marantz PM Ki Ruby and RME ADI 2 (Am I crazy?) Thanks everyone!@jason thank you. You’re right, based on other comments, I believe the marantz’s pre is not as good. So I will keep it as my power amp. I doubt anything in its price range can beat it.so potentially I could upgrade by getting a ded... | |
| Marantz PM Ki Ruby and RME ADI 2 (Am I crazy?) @gakerty well, it looks like your preamp is more expensive than my integrated and rme combined? So it better sound better. Lol | |
| Marantz PM Ki Ruby and RME ADI 2 (Am I crazy?) @jjss49 is the power amp of the marantz as good as they come for the price or should I consider upgrading? If latter, do you have any recommendations? Thank you, appreciate your inputs. | |
| Marantz PM Ki Ruby and RME ADI 2 (Am I crazy?) Thanks guys.. I’m glad that I’m not imagining. Should I consider upgrading my marantz to a dedicated power amp? If so, any recommendations for the special 40s? | |
| Marantz PM Ki Ruby and RME ADI 2 (Am I crazy?) Haha.. fair enough. The fact that what’s mainly a dac, it’s pre amp somehow sounds better than the pre amp of what’s considered a higher end marantz amplifier . Just doesn’t make sense to me. | |
| Isolation - Isacoustics Puck Mini vs Herbie’s Fat Dots @spatialking thanks, I’m definitely considering buying and comparing the two. I was just curious to see if fellow members have done the comparison. Just to get everyone’s feedback. | |
| External DAC? @ghjuvvani I understand that balanced will mean +6dbu to the ref level selected. Any idea why you chose to use volume on both instead of locking one? Any sonic benefits? | |
| External DAC? @daleberlin you’re right, I went through that section but couldn’t figure out which ref level and volume should I go with. Looks like it depends on the output Volts of the amplifier. Any idea what’s the output V of my PM Ki ruby amp? I couldn’t fi... | |
| External DAC? @jjss49 thank you so much. Quick question on volume settings on the RME. I’d like to use my Marantz to adjust volume. I see a couple of options in the RMe and wasn’t sure what should I go with. I guess I’ll have to lock the volume and switch off ... |
