| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Humm....I had a Sony XA-777es a few years back, and I liked it. At the time SACD's were far and few between, so I ended up selling it after around a year. I may have to give one of these new players (and SACD) a second chance. | |
| Digital plus analog amp advice Yes, your example would work...but you don't need a phono preamp if your turntable already has one...not a problem though. Here is another one:http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=184-256They come in many sizes, options, and pri... | |
| Digital plus analog amp advice This is what I would try:Hook the Dared into a usb input on your computer, hook the Denon into the Dared. You can switch between your soundcard/Gilmore Lite, and the Dared, simply by changing where you plug your headphones in....the Dared, or the ... | |
| Any DACs will improve my Rega Saturn? Try the Monarchy MN-24 tube DAC, you get a free preamp with it...but you don't have to use it (although it's pretty nice sometimes to have a little change)....around $1,000 new.Dave | |
| The Next Level Very nice story, I'm happy for both of you. You enjoyed the music, and not the system. A lot of systems sound good, but for one reason or another,they are not always musical...and that is a big distraction from the music that is playing.I expect a... | |
| Home theater pass-through unnecessary? I did that for a while...worked fine for me.Dave | |
| Emmylou Harris - All I Intended to be - Love this I play "The Very Best of Emmylou Harris: Heartaches and Highways" all the time. Pretty good recording quality, and around $10 at Amazon.comDave | |
| First Tube Amp: Advice? Keep spare tubes on hand? If you like the amp, and it works well with the rest of your system...you will end up with spare tubes over the course of things :-)......thats just the way it works out.Enjoy,Dave | |
| American-made integrated tube amplifiers "You'll perhaps be interested to know that while you stated that AtmaSphere suits the bill, but is outside of the pricepoint, they're exactly who we're partnering with in my reference above. We intend to introduce in this year all tube pre and pow... | |
| American-made integrated tube amplifiers Ejineffect said:"I wonder how the Cronus fares up against Cayin , Prima Luna or Ming Da. At least these makes are mentioned in A-gon forums. Hard to find much discussion on Rogue. Why no hype? I know, I know,...DON'T BELEIVE THE HYPE"Hummm...a gen... | |
| American-made integrated tube amplifiers I'll second the Rogue Cronus...plenty of reviews on line.Dave | |
| Is my Placette linestage holding back my Krell AMP I doubt it, unless the output of the Levinson 30.5 DAC is less than 3 volts. But then....that wouldn't be the fault of the Placette, more the fault of the Krell, and it's input sensitivity (2.71 vrms).Still, If you don't mind spending a good sum o... | |
| Using two center channel LCR speakers for stereo LCR='s....Left/Center/Right. (they are only center channel speakers, if you use them there). All MTM designs I have heard, sound best when placed vertical...even for center channel use (but, of course you can't always do that with the center chann... | |
| H2O Audio Owners Can't help much, but I did have the preamp in my system for two weeks. It's very good after 1-2 hour warm up...maybe even ("more than very good").It runs warm (hot)....just like the old Krell Ksa-250 I had it mated with. I liked it a lot.I have ne... | |
| Best 6DJ8 tubes? For big $$$ I like Amperex 7308's...'as good as it gets" in my preamp. For a lot less $$$...EH 6922's are very nice (I just bought 4 of these to use in my DAC).Dave |
