| Considering Bricasti and Lampizator Wisnon, all good points regarding customization vs. one-size-fits-all.I also probably should not have raised points that have nothing to do with sound. That's what is most important to me, and is the driving force for my upgrade in the first place... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC with $3.99 cable is such a mismatch. The Bricasti sounds like an am alarm clock.A stock cord isn't ideal, but is it truly that bad? Does the DirectStream sound better with that cable? | |
| How big a change would this upgrade make? Most of all do you really like your speakers? They make the biggest difference over any good component IMO.The speakers are great; I'm not contemplating a change there. Specifically, my listening room is better suited for monitors than floorstande... | |
| Worth doing upgrades to my W4S DAC-1? Just one person's opinion: upgrades don't really hold their value in the used market. If that's a consideration, and you're looking for a better DAC, selling the DAC-1 and buying something better may make more sense. | |

| Sound cuts out occasionally in my system Seven months later, I have some progress on the issue, but also another question.After some experimentation, I found that the cutting out only occurs when my active crossover was used in my system. However, I was not actually able to measure any D... | |
| How to check my preamp for a DC leak Any thoughts on my last question? If anyone knows the answer to this, it would be much appreciated! | |
| How to check my preamp for a DC leak Thanks for the explanation. If this cutting out is only happening intermittently (e.g. every few hours or so), should I be able to measure elevated DC levels at all times, or only when the unit is causing a problem in my system? | |
| Sound cuts out occasionally in my system There is some crackle and pop immediately as the sound cuts out, but not in the few seconds before. | |
| Sound cuts out occasionally in my system No tube rectifier in the pre. | |
| Sound cuts out occasionally in my system If it helps, I'm running a tube pre and SS amp. | |
| Buyers and Sellers ever Speak by Phone Anymore? I once had a seller call me; he'd never sold on Augiogon before, and since I was planning to pay via PayPal, he was a bit concerned about potential chargebacks from dishonest buyers. I think speaking with the seller helped to reassure him that I'm... | |
| How Much Time do You Surf on Audiogon? I check the 'gon about 10 times a day. Even though I'm not looking to buy anything, I'm always interested in whether anything "good" is up for sale. | |
| Tube preamp output impedance at low frequencies I believe most subs should have a -3db rating on the high end of their frequency range (e.g. -3db @ 150 Hz), this might help in finding an appropriate unit. | |
| Tube preamp output impedance at low frequencies I'm using an old SVS PC 20-39. |
