| How important is the pre-amp? I’ve never had good results running direct from CD or DAC to power amps. Others do and so obviously I haven’t made the correct equipment choices in that regard. The only good experience I’ve had with eliminating an active preamp is with utilizing ... | |
| Speakers for triode tube amps Because it’s a fantastic speaker, available from and fully supported by Signature Sound in NYC. I’ve bought parts from Rich at Sig Sound to upgrade my own set and he has an inventory of speakers, drivers and crossover part. Any other questions, Sh... | |
| Speakers for triode tube amps Merlin Music TSM are a smaller stand- mounted speaker that work very well with modestly powered tube amps. Read the reviews. There are a few threads here on Audiogon discussing amp options.I’ve driven mine with higher powered amps like the Thor Au... | |
| Kuzma Stogi 12 arm w VTA tower queing problem Ed, I just answered your pm. Check the oil level and that the anti skate wire is riding in the pulley and not off to the side. Mine was in the pulley... then it wasn’t, I had to reseat it. | |
| RMAF 2021 Cancelled I hope this ‘late in the day’ cancellation doesn’t hurt vendors too hard. I know the costs involved in attending this type of event as a vendor, they can be significant. Hopefully booth costs and travel/hotel ticket costs etc can be recovered and ... | |

| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? Top of the range Spatial Audio (whatever that model is). | |
| Ex Dunlavy Owners - What Other Speakers Have Made You Happy? @ozzy62 appreciate the offer, thanks. | |
| Server/Source Recommendation For Denafrips Terminator @anzaanimalclinic - what I2S cable are you using? I read such mixed opinions on HDMI cables (no different than with any other cable, I guess), that I went cheap and bought an Audioquest, it's a 'Cinamon' I think, but I'd have to check. | |
| Ex Dunlavy Owners - What Other Speakers Have Made You Happy? @pinwa - thanks. I heard what I think were Moabs at CAF 2019 in a room similar in size to mine. I recall being fairly impressed though I thought them a little dark sounding, which isn't a deal-breaker. However, they're such a dominating speaker vi... | |
| Ex Dunlavy Owners - What Other Speakers Have Made You Happy? @paullb thanks for the suggestion. Oddly enough I've never heard Vandersteen speakers. I'll try to correct that soon.@ozzy62 thanks. I've seen some of your other posts on Klipsch and see that you're a fan of the Cornwall. If I remember correctly, ... | |
| PS audio new 25K dac and the psychological effect of owning a company's best. I can never buy a used component when the seller says something like “I’m selling this to move up the line.”I’m not sure why but I feel it might be relevant in some way to the original post :) | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? I’ve just moved to a SMG i5 sonicTransporter, ultraRendu and ultraDigital into a new Denafrips Terminator (new to me).1 - SQ is good (better than a direct comparison with my CD transport via SPDIF.)2 - There’s pain involved in getting the network ... | |
| Server/Source Recommendation For Denafrips Terminator So far I’m hearing a fairly big difference using i2s via the Sonore ultraDigital, most notable is the soundstage moving forward into the room. I prefer a more recessed presentation so I’m not liking this aspect of i2s. But it’s more detailed and a... | |
| Server/Source Recommendation For Denafrips Terminator @mpomerantz I’m not sure about your DAC but the ultraDigital has dip switches for different i2S configurations, so you might find that yours is viable. It defaults to the PS Audio i2s but supports other options. |
