| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? @maplegrovemusic didnt catch this when you posted. I havnt sprung for the Freya plus as of yet. I had a Modwright LS100 in here and to me quite a revealing change for the better in sonics compared to my Line 1.. While I did not A/B it certainly a... | |
| Class A 30 Watt Amps: Are they enough to drive my book shelfs? More than enough driving my Harbeth 7es-3 (86 db 1w/1m) with my XA30.5 . As previous post just mentioned and I forgot--the amp goes into A/B at a certain point delivering more than 30 watts and I dont generally need to go past that marker on the... | |
| Where would be a good place to buy& sell used audio equipment? because of high price of repair if sent to B&W consider sending to a tech --or simply bringing it in..

| Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3 @jim51 I have a pair, bought them used on the Gon and saved a bit of money. Something I learned from spending time on Harbeth website is a substantial amount of speakers are using the polypropylene cone material. Long story short--good f... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line - 1 Volume Control Interesting to see OP goes back to 06' although last post in 2018. Where as I dont post on here a whole lot my sense is that members are not notified of new posts unless their user name is noted in the post. I should verify this question in a ... | |

| My Cary amp - the story of a hum and a bug It is a design issue flaw. Potentially in the power supply. A well designed S/S amp should have no hum either from the amp itself or at the speakers. I have experienced both. My bugaboo is usually when the amp itself has some hum. This can be beca... | |
| What is the least compressed signal? you betcha ddjr --listen to what you want to. As far as radio goes... need all the ducks in a row for best quality sound that is possible within constraints and that is a difficult and rare dynamic to set up these days considering the state o... | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? @maplegrovemusic that sounds like a serious issue.. Had you verified with Schiit to be sure it wasn't something else? Anyone else experience this? Assume you mean can't use balanced and rca at the input at the same time. What good woul... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? Ive never hooked up subs and dont feel I’m missing anything. Different speakers bring different results and it just seems somehow obvious when any part of the sound spectrum is not quite right and time to move on to another speaker. Had some Monit... | |
