| Looking for a Solidly good inexpensive DAC Very nice thread - I guess I should put my impressions down on paper as well (as soon as I have some more time). Over the last few months I have been comparing the following DACs:- Lavry DA10- Wavelength Brick v2- Benchmark DAC1 USB- MHDT Paradise... | |
| Belt vs. string Byron, on your Clearaudio emotion it will be tough to get the tension right for a string as you can't move the motor around as far as I remember. Or is there a way to adjust the tension on the Emotion? | |
| .wav to .flac conversion using MAC OS X Kas, if you convert to Apple Lossless using iTunes, then all tags will be preserved and you will still save the space. Easier then Flac on Mac, at least until iTunes will have Flac support. | |
| .wav to .flac conversion using MAC OS X Kas, why not use iTunes on OS X with Apple Lossless files? If you do that iTunes can look up all song info online when you insert the CD again. I then usually copy and paste which is a little easier. | |
| What goes beneath your Nottingham? Some people seemed to report good results with Neuance platforms instead of the standard base that came with the Spacedeck. | |
| What is a good amp to pair with Hovland HP-100 I heard the Hovland with a Pass amp and it worked quite well. There is a thread here:Pass with Hovland PreThe output impedance of the Hovland is pretty low so that it should work with most solid state amps. | |
| Flea SET amp for Shindo Aurieges Michael, Fi amps (e.g. Fi Super X 2A3, Fi 45 Fi WE421) have a very high input impedance that matches well with the 10K input impedance and high gain of the Fi preamps (one of the reasons why I was considering Shindo :)Some of the other ones that g... | |
| What is a good amp to pair with Hovland HP-100 Since you are getting a good deal for the Hovland - I would get it. It's a nice preamp and if the match to your future amp is not perfect you can optimize and resell later. | |
| How to connect phono stage? Well in your case the phono preamp is a line preamp as well (really a preamp with built in phono stage) so that you shouldn't need the additional preamp. That is one amplification stage to much IMO.Sounds to me like your other preamp is just much ... | |
| High gain hybrid circuit ss/tube MC phono stage Vacuumstate makes a full function pre that uses a solid state MC state and MM phono stage with 6922 tubes. Excellent user comments on that one. This would be my candidate for a new phono/line pre. Hopefully I will get to hear one soon. | |
| What is a $500- $700 power cord for subwoofer I would start looking at very affordable Belden and Volex 12-14 gauge powercords (do a search here). Otherwise the VH AUdio Flavor 4 should give you more impact. | |
| What is a good amp to pair with Hovland HP-100 Agree with Peter_s - not all preamps work well with all amps and you would not want to lock yourself into a preamp-amp combination by choice of the preamp. I would ask the question: What good amp to pair with the 2CE ad then find a matching preamp... | |
| Avid Volvere vs Linn LP12 all Naimed If you check on the Naim pinkfish forum, many all Naim people love the DPS turntable or the Raven One. The DPS is probably the more lively and direct of the two and you could get it drilled for the Aro tonearm. A friend of mine with an all Naim sy... | |
| Pass Labs/Gershman AvanteGarde I heard the combination of Avant Garde, Pass 350XA and Hovland HP200 tube preamp at a local dealer's for an hour or so. The combination struck a nice balance between detail, resolution and musicality. NOT SET like but very nice for sand amp. | |
| Best value phono $1-1.5k CMK, what cartridge are you considering? |
