How do you pick your gear? Tips and insights are welcome. Each of my pieces of gear has a different story. Back in the day (25 years ago), there was a good dealer in KC that had a nice mix of products to demo. I discovered Von Schweikert as a result. I bought my current Von Schweikert based on reviews an... | |
PS Audio BHK signature preamp Sounds like a great preamp from the reading I did. If it barely fits, are you concerned about ventilation? Looks like it has vents in the top. | |
PS Audio BHK signature preamp I haven't heard the PS Audio amp, but I have a Coda No 8 V1. I'm using it with a Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp. I'm very happy with it. | |
Whats playing on your system today? Nightwish - Decades. It's classified as metal. I don't like most metal, but this stuff is pretty cool. | |

Speaker List narrowed down… @motta +1 on Von Schweikert. I have the walnut version of the Endeavor. They are rear ported, though. I think it was mentioned that they needed to be close to the wall unless I'm getting posts confused. I don't think they would need to pulled w... | |

Synergy Congratulations on finding synergy and getting off of the merry-go-round! I think I'm finally there as well. | |
Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer @lanx0003 Interesting. I've never felt that my R26 was bright. I'm using a tube preamp, so that may help. I have various cables that have differing degrees of brightness. A couple of them tend to soften the sound compared to others. I don't ... | |
55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey In my main system, I have a 75" TV. My speakers are a little over 10' apart and my sitting position is about 10' from the front baffles. The TV sits a couple of feet behind the speakers. My living room TV is 65". I sit about 13' back. We just... | |
Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer @lanx0003 Makes sense. Have you tried changing the filter setting on the R26? I prefer the fast setting, but that isn't the default setting. Fast is the most detailed, but maybe not what works best in your system. There is also a setting for NO... | |
Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer @lanx0003 I recall your post about clicking. Sounds like your R26 has issues. I think I'd send it back if you can. It sounds like the Cambridge streamer sounds good. My son's cxa60 has a built-in dac and it sounds really good. Better than the d... | |
Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer @lanx0003 I'm listening to Maria Duenes and it sounds wonderful. I don't care for a lot of classical music, but this is something I enjoy. As I mentioned, I'm not a good judge of violin music, but it sounds great. I wasn't trying to say anything ... | |
Preamp used in HT bypass - Signal degrade?? @emergingsoul What are you using for a surround processor, amps, and speakers? | |
Preamp used in HT bypass - Signal degrade?? I don't want my home theater components to be in the chain when listening to two-channel music. The home theater gear is on a completely different level (lower). I use a nice Onkyo receiver for surround processing, but I doubt running the front ... |
