| No sound @cdc Thanks for your interest and comments. Although with the Sys the system sounds very good, I still sense a lack of highs and sound staging which the preamp brings. | |
| No sound Strangely, the SQ with the Sys is improving greatly. I don’t know if it’s breaking in (I didn’t know a switch could break in) or I’m getting used to it. | |
| No sound @cdc Yes it’s amazing. Especially good on LP’s. i still think my original preamp does a little better, on sound staging and highs. But the direct transmission is incredibly clean. | |
| No sound It sounds better than it has any right to sound. | |
| No sound It’s very interesting to to hear the set effectively without a preamp. The signal is direct from the amp and the DAC to the speakers. The Sys is a passive unit and ostensibly adds nothing to the sound. So the sound is extremely clear but cold. It ... | |
| No sound @lanx0003 i have a Conrad-Johnson tube preamp which is out for repair for an extended time. That’s why I got the Sys, so I could listen to music. Of course the tubed CJ is much better, but the Sys is a very good stopgap until I get the CJ back.... | |
| No sound @jetter Yes it is! | |
| No sound Now I find it’s not so primitive. It sounds damn good! | |
| No sound Well, I hooked up the Sys, and lo and behold, I got sound. Of course it’s primitive compared to my CJ preamp but over all, not too bad. Thanks to @jetter for the suggestion. | |
| No sound @jetter Thanks for the reply. Neat looking preamp! | |
| No sound I’ll have to wait 4-6 weeks! for the repair. I already ordered the Schiit Sys but it’s not coming until next Friday. At least I should have some sound. | |
| No sound Well, I got the system hooked up properly and the loud tone is back. So I assume the problem is with the preamp, which I’m going to bring to to be repaired. | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? “Vinyl records produced/tested with “professional” grade carts, with focus on sound accuracy”. It seems to me that would be a very limiting factor for me, acquiring a 1oK cartridge. I don’t want to just listen for the sake of listening. I’d rathe... | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? Of course, I could not afford the setup that a 10K cartridge would require, but I have a question. What type of LP would be up to the task of producing such high quality sound? It seems to me that only the highest quality audiophile discs would ju... | |
| No sound Thank you for the suggestion of the Sys. I’m just recovering from a hip replacement then dislocation, so I really can’t get into the insides of my system very easily, but I can hire someone to do it. I’ll experiment as much as I can. |
