| RHB Designs Rhumba 1.1 preamp @frozentundra It's easy to change tubes to tailor the sound. Be sure to read up on the flavor that various brands provide. 12au7 tubes are a type that have been offered in many versions, so you should be able to get exactly what you seek. I respec... | |
| RHB Designs Rhumba 1.1 preamp Yes, and I have been very impressed with the Backert Labs preamps, both the Rhumba and the more expensive Rhythm. You are correct, many have had CJ preamps (Audio Research preamps too) upgraded by Bob Backert. Since Bob and Andy Tebbe are members ... | |
| Schiit Multibits vs Chord Mojo Swear I posted on this thread and my reply was removed. I have no idea why, and wonder if mods are deleting posts without notifying poster that it's happened or why. Anybody?I compared Schiit Gungnir Multibit to Chord Hugo in my system and bought ... | |
| Streaming DSD from Linux - Not as hard as I thought! All the info is more easily found on CA site because they have a sponsored board there and respond regularly to questions, etc. Of course, Chris Connaker's review is also on that site:http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/698-sonore-microrendu... | |
| Schitt Audio Still in business??? Please post your impressions AFTER letting it run 100 hours and THEN listening. The break-in is real, very real, really real. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used @czarivey Thanks for mentioning Nola Viper Reference as I have mine which are the final version of them for sale due to financial issues, well within the budget mentioned. I was reluctant to hawk my ad but have to agree with those posting that a m... | |
| Streaming DSD from Linux - Not as hard as I thought! The microRendu is $649 ($49 for the optional iFi Power Supply), so I don't understand your comment. It's smaller than a pack of smokes or deck or cards and can be plugged right onto the back of your dac. Most users don't even see it in situ. So yo... | |
| Streaming DSD from Linux - Not as hard as I thought! For your use LMS makes sense, but for my music only library, with microRendu I prefer the gui of Lumin app vs. the LMS mode. If you at some point want to maximize sound quality via LMS the Sonore can't be beat, especially for the price. Cheers, Sp... | |
| Where do you go to from Nottingham Analogue ? Yes, dead quiet, takes multiple arms, sounds great. Know a couple of very happy owners who are plenty hard to please. Give a listen if you get a chance. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Priorities... Can't we all at least agree that the most important part of the audio chain isMORE COWBELL! Cheers,Spencer | |
| Streaming DSD from Linux - Not as hard as I thought! Heard some good things about Daphile freeware for music on Pi servers. You might wanna check it out. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used RMAF is the best show in USA, but show conditions often aren't great. Do you live near many dealers and/or other audio enthusiasts where you can listen to some stuff in less stressful situations? IMHE, gear that impresses during short listening se... | |
| Is Sound Lab Owners Group Forum Dead? Thanks, Miko. They fixed the problem so I could register. Yes, it's very low traffic indeed! Thanks for your post. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Where do you go to from Nottingham Analogue ? +1 for the TW Acustic as an addition to your list. If the lower cost Kronos makes the budget, that might be another one. Their initial model really impressed me! Cheers,Spencer | |
| Where do you go to from Nottingham Analogue ? It's hard to ignore the arm with your question because my Spacedeck/Spacearm ownership was ruined because of their arm. I found the arm wiring poor quality and it was so thin that even some very well respected dealers/repair shops wouldn't touch i... |
