| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? mcreyn,I would try the Freya+. I am running upgraded tubes (Sylvania NIB NOS for the gain section - with the Tung Sol at the buffer). As I mentioned, I have a very sensitive amplifier section and the new Freya+ is dead quiet in the tube outpu... | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? On the clicks, they do not come through the audio system. Volume increase is very smooth. It is just the physical relays engaging for the stepped attenuation. This is the highest quality volume control you can have. Both CJ and ARC use step... | |
| Schiit Freya plus. Is this an upgrade? I have owned both the Freya and Freya+. The solid state on both the original and + are dead quiet and have excellent resolution. The SS buffer is very good and in the class of the Adcom GFP-750 (Nelson Pass) and McCormack LD-2 that I have owne... | |
| Preamp help for First Watt F3 CJ ET 3 (100 ohms) or SE version (preamp - high output)NAD M51 (100 - 200 ohms) (DAC/Preamp)I have both and they are highly recommended. | |
| Review: NAD m51 DA converter I just got my M51. There are layers upon layers of music that I was missing. I've had a 32 bit ESS (EE Minimax Dac), 16 - 20 bit NOS highly regarded ( Adcom GFA-700, McCormack DAC1), 24 bit highly regarded (CA dacmagic) and 1 bit sigma delta tube ... | |
| Any Experience With Conrad Johnson ET3 Preamp? Good luck! I am sure it will have outstanding sound quality. Let us know. | |
| Any Experience With Conrad Johnson ET3 Preamp? Rower30,If you are looking at the RLD-1, have you looked at the LD-2 with the CJ Teflon upgrade. The LD-2 has the SMc upgrades already (I believe). The Teflon cap upgrade is another step forward. I owned the LD-2 and it is very nice but I don't th... | |
| Any Experience With Conrad Johnson ET3 Preamp? Hawk28. Sorry, I have not compared the standard to SE. You can always upgrade to SE later if you think you need to move up in performance. I don't think the upgrade is much more than the price difference between the two units. | |
| Any Experience With Conrad Johnson ET3 Preamp? I own the ET-3 SE. I have owned many preamps (Adcom GFP-750 blue board, CJ PF2, Rogue Metis, ARC LS26, and McCormack LD-2). These are all great preamps with distinctly different sound. To me, the ARC LS26 and CJ ET-3 SE are in next level sound abo... | |
| Conrad Johnson DA2b This is an outstanding dac. It is the best my system to date. I have tried a moderately priced 24 bit dac (stereophile class c), highly rated dac ss & tube 32 bit (stereomojo), and two older Dac. They all sounded good but did not stand out in ... |
