Add a pre-amp to Mola Mola Tambaqui?
Interesting comments about the amp So how about the krell illusion preamp? If pre-amp pairing is more about matching amp than it is about changing sound signature what better way to match then use flagship pre-amp from same company? I could eve...

I heard it but I don’t own it i have friends.... i would just go to the same place he bought his except he bought a used unit and i cant seem to find one.. i check this website every day and never see it drop on the market  
Add a pre-amp to Mola Mola Tambaqui?
thanks very much for all the feedback. I am now looking at these recommendations. The reason I am leaning toward a warmer preamp is because I use a pair of stealth audio silver speaker cables that use helium vacuum dielectric. The dielectric cons... 
AV Processor Conundrum
i purchased an avm90 and i am extremely satisfied. coming from a top of the line yamaha, the difference is night and day. yes its worth it unfortunately you missed the holiday sale. they discounted it $1,200 the avm90 is arguably the best sound... 
A $250 Power Conditioner?
this product doesnt filter or change ac at all usually those type of products fail miserably my understanding is that this product detects noise and tries to override it with its own noise that may be more pleasing to human ears its not a power... 
What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
Its honestly a mixed bag I put an AQ Dragon HC power cable on a gryphon amp and wasnt sure there was a difference. This is a very expensive cable to not hear much over a stock cable On the flipside the biggest difference i ever experienced was w... 
Which type of cable sounds best for Streamer to DAC: AES/EBU or DIGITAL COAX or USB ??
bumping an old thread for my Lumin u2 Before, i heard that usb is least preferred because it’s noisy   However, in the new Lumin there is a usb to dac port. They call it a direct coupled usb out and its supposedly ultra low noise/low jitter Re... 
Bi-Amping McIntosh MC303
I wrote it as bi-amp, my mistake. (i assume I would need a 4 channel amp). I mean bi-wire How do I bi-wire with the weird setup on the McIntosh    
DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range
if you can get a used lumin x1 i would highly recommend in that price range If your only interested in buying new, the Holo Audio May KTE is excellent   
What makes the biggest difference in sound quality?
If we are talking a system from scratch thats a different story. But you can't answer this question accurately because it's based on your system and components currently I went and bought an uber power cord for my gryphon 300 amp/pre. The audioq... 
Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer
albert had a listing of a nice passlabs amp on the phone he told me its junk and that hes a luxman dealer and can offer me the 900u for $11k new. He was helpful on the phone but yes he tried too hard to redirect my purchase and thats what lost hi... 
KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable
Everyone says the Dac in the Hegel is really good but honestly they are comparing them to $2-3k dacs The hegel is amazing at its price point, but it’s honestly lacking in general. I also like to separate my streaming as well, isolate the power s... 
KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable
in terms of the resolution, The blades are very resolving and I found them to be excellent, but not the best out there. I am friends with the owner of vivid giya g1s. Now THAT is highly resolving. Although honestly i wouldnt trade with him as the... 
KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable
I've always been fond of the blades. Ive heard some excellent speakers over the years and I demo'd these to a very nice (and expensive) pair of vivid speakers but the blades I simply found to be better. Once I switched from copper speaker cables ...
