| Can anyone recommend a good streamer/DAC? I bought a "factory refurbed" CXNv2 on Cambridge outlet on Ebay. just over $500.. Now , it doesnt appear to be anything but new as far as I have noticed and there have been no issues with it whatsoever. I really don’t know how it would compare to ... | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. What you need (what we all need at times) is an old school tech with reasonable prices.. As of course they are rarer than hens teeth. My only suggestion is to call Northridge Electronics in Simi Valley , CA and talk to Tom. He has had an... | |
| Who, do you think, designs the best looking tube-based devices? Stuck on this--not often on used market --few months ago there was one in Canada--was still 4k plus which I could do but tight with my scrilla these days. All the wood nice and what he does with the internals is quite interesting. Check it out. ht... | |
| CD Transports I have 3 vintage transports all with Philips mechanisms the CDM9 being arguably the end of the better quality built mechanisms. PS Audio Lambda is in my main system w/CDM9 pro. Museatex CD-D/Philips CDM1mkii, in bd, and a Rotel RDD 980/CDM9... | |
| old high end preamps.. @hk_fan I didnt notice that and usually Im digging in for detail. I was checking on the SPL-98 actually with phono because its on sale. . Still a lot of scrilla and doubt I will do that. The 6sn7 tube is the attraction. I had a Modwright ... | |
| old high end preamps.. @hk_fan can you elaborate on Cary offshore products? Google does not reveal info of that possibility. | |
| Sales or clearances happening now @hilde45 I’m not finding any special prices at Cary website re/preamps. Perhaps at a retailer site? I found it. Never been on their direct sales site. thanks for that. | |
| Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?.... Im down to a Mitsu DA-F20 & a Kenwood 600T both gone through by B. Ammons who is best known for his filter adder board which will upgrade selectivity . Unfortunately since moving out of probably one of the last bastions of multiple good non c... | |
| Emotiva not so good well, I have a Pass xa30.5 and while of course it sounds better than my xpa100 mono’s Guess what is running most of the time? My Emotiva’s. I run my main system daily at least 8 hrs . I’d say the Pass is run maybe 6 or 7 hrs a month on average. I ... | |
| Best 6NS7 Preamp for a Pass Labs XA25 amp @coachpoconnor can you elaborate a bit on your Supratek as in upgrades , what it cost you, how many inputs , how long have you had it and by chance if it needed service would your only option be to send to AU? Have a remote and if not any i... | |
| Best 6NS7 Preamp for a Pass Labs XA25 amp @aricaudio thanks for checking in. Well, it helps my aging brain to jump start memory recall to hear you are one and the same. I will have to check out your web page some more. | |
| Best 6NS7 Preamp for a Pass Labs XA25 amp I’m wondering if anyone here remembers Aric Audio selling on ebay more than a couple years back? Let me rephrase a bit. I think it was Aric Audio from what I recall. Now, Im not at all taking issue with his product. There are people here who have ... | |
| Which Preamp Would You Choose? I have tried a couple times to move away from my SF line 1 of which only has pertinent upgrades due to its age. Right now I have my Pass xa30.5 up and running and with only playing a cd I can assuredly say that music is not sterile or without impa... | |
| Low Cost DACs OP, I have a Shek D2 (Sigtone) non oversampling Dac I bought new for just over 300 which has been used less than 100 hrs and a HagUsb converter that I bought new which cost 130 .. (Hagerman Technology) would sell both for 200. Went back and r... | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Separates are way more fun , at least in my experience. How about my Pass XA30.5 to go with your Pass preamp? I've been toying with the idea of selling it for more than a year now. It doesn't have 200 hrs on it for its time in my possession ... |
