| DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport @smatsui & @dcpillai My bad & my apologies if I gave out incorrect information. It was not done deliberately. When I ordered the PSA transport, I never did any detailed research on the DAC side of things and thought that any DAC with... | |
| DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport @dcpillai I also own the new PSA SACD Transport for almost a year now. I have it paired with a PSA Gain Cell DAC, as I could not afford both the new Direct Stream and the Transport at the same time. To get all the SACD goodies that the PSA h... | |
| What to listen for? On Elvis’ ’Kentucky Rain’, I swear you can hear the air in the recording studio just as Elvis starts to sing ... ’Seven lonely days and a dozen towns below" and again at the start of the next verse ... ’So I am walking through the rain, thumbing f... | |
| Speakers for a unique small room I have been a major fan of Zu Audio speakers, both floor standers & monitors, over the last several years. I have both floor standers & bookshelfs in my living room & second bedroom systems. Very dynamic sounding. Both LPs & CDs... | |
| Hana ML teamed with Pro-Ject 1Xpression carbon classic and Rega Aria Curious. I had been using an Ortofon 2M Blue and vocals were not quite sounding right, they sounded off a bit, not as deep as they should sound, if that makes sense. I swapped in a Goldring E3, a less expensive MM cartridge, and that helped, not... | |
| Hana ML teamed with Pro-Ject 1Xpression carbon classic and Rega Aria Hi - If I might ask what do you find lacking with the Ortofon Bronze? You have some nice equipment; what is not sounding right for you? Or do you feel that the Bronze is not in the same league as some of your other equipment? Many thanks, Ri... | |
| Primaluna pre paired with a class D amp I am not sure how many PL owners would pair a $3K tube pre with a $1K Class D amp. I do the reverse ... a PL Prologue 5 power amp with a Musical Fidelity SS cd player/ preamp (CD PRE 24). I also have a Rogue Sphinx v3, which would be the confi... | |
| Help with Yamaha 801 pairing Given your listening preferences and budget, I would go for the Zu Audio Dirty Weekend floor standers. I have had a pair in use in my main system for the last 4 years (tube amp; ss preamp, TT's & CDs). I also have the Zu Omen Monitor in a se... | |
| Gustard A 26 I2S input Hi - If the end game is to use PS Audio components, it's very simple ... if you are using a PS Audio SACD transport and wish to take advantage of PS Audio's SACD processing, you need to use a (recent vintage) PS Audio DAC. That is what I do. ... | |
| My Fisher XP66c Speakers Went To The Dump Today @jasonbourne52 - all good. funny reading something from 5 years ago. My dad had a repair shop in Brooklyn, opened right after WW II. Would go with him all the time to LIC, which had to be just after the mass exodus of the stereo companies from ... | |
| Great Small Room Speakers for $3-5k Hi Nick - Funny thing, I just changed my system around to a Rogue Audio Sphinx v3, Zu Audio Omen Bookshelf Speakers. TT is a Technics 1500 with a Ortofon Blue and PS Audio SACD Transport and Gain Cell DAC. What I like about the Omen's is how ... | |
| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) Hi old dude - I have a lot and I mean a lot of CDs. I would guess I am in the 5000 or more neighborhood. I am also officially a senior citizen and have stockpiled a few cd players, so I will be able to play my music until I can't anymore. I ha... | |
| Need tube help! Just saw your response to Newbie. Excellent guy to get to know, btw. The KT88's will give you the extra oomph that you like. New production Mullards or Gold Lions would work out nicely. I went with NOS GE's for the 12AU7s. New production Mull... | |
| Need tube help! Good luck with your PL2. About 18 years ago, I wrote a member review of the PL2. Without knowing what tubes came with your unit, as well as what the rest of your system is like, and what you like to listen for, it would be hard to give... | |
| Project Debut Carbon EVO vs. Technics SL-1500C vs Technics SL-1210GR Hi JJ - You may want to start with this discussion. I own both the Technics 1200 and 1500. Both are Direct Drive TTs, which I prefer. The 1500 is an all in one solution. Open the box, connect your cables, and you are up and running in 30 ... |
