| Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC Another vote for the Aurender N200. Unbelievably good sound. Well worth the high price, but try to find one used. | |
| Mid level listening @mattw73 Well put! | |
| Mid level listening @evanpress Yes, there is a lesson there. I used to be very happy listening on a table radio years ago. What’s causing my current angst is that I just got back a preamp that was out for repair and the sound of my system improved, causing me to ... | |
| Mid level listening @jsalerno277 I agree with most of what you say. As a musician I know well what real music sounds like and I’ve built my system so that it sounds as close to that as possible. It’s always been my goal. in your analysis you hit on certain pr... | |
| DAC 'Scam' Vid I went from a 1K DAC to a 6K+ DAC. The difference was mind blowing. | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? When I first started the quest to make my analog sound as good (or better) than my digital I bought a very good phono amplifier (Sutherland). It made a big difference but not quite as good as digital. Then got a new turntable (Dr. Feikert) and a... | |
| No preamp in system The CJ preamp seems to have fully broken in. The set sounds better (really fantastic) than it did before the breakdown. | |
| No preamp in system Analog continues to be more remarkable than digital now that the CJ has been overhauled. Although both sound great. | |
| No preamp in system cdc Although the passive is “safer,” meaning that it is consistent, with no extramusical, harsh sounds, it’s also lacking in highs, sound staging and realism. It sounds surprisingly good but not as pleasurable as the CJ active which has all of th... | |
| No preamp in system Well, I just blasted some digital organ music at full volume and that seems to have helped break-in. | |
| No preamp in system Now that I’m listening for a couple of days I notice the analogue side is sounding better than the digital. The digital has lost some of its fullness. Maybe it’s a matter of preamp break-in. | |
| No preamp in system Jetter, I have to confess, I wasn’t really listening to the technician when he told me what was wrong. I was so happy to get it back. It went right over my head. Sufficed to say he did a real overhaul of the unit. Sorry I can’t provide more i... | |
| No preamp in system I turned the preamp on one day and all I got was a low tone emanating from the speakers. | |
| No preamp in system The CJ is finally back in the system and the difference is wonderful. All of the harmonics are now in place, and the highs are extant and very sweet. Soundstage is back to being huge. AT LAST! | |
| No preamp in system Well, after waiting two months for service my CJ is finally repaired. However, on the way home I dropped it on the ground (from not too high) bringing it into the house. I called the technician who said if probably won’t have damaged it. I chec... |
