| Can a DAC do double duty? Even though I would have only used one output at a time, Vinshine confirmed what the manual said about not connecting both outputs at once. @burtlake Great and important info, and thanks for sharing — I was actually wondering about exactly that... | |
| Transport Recommendations TMR wants $2044 when shipping costs are included and a 3-month warranty versus buying a brand new one with a 12-month warranty for $2498. I don't know about you, but I am willing to shell out the extra $454 for a brand-new unit with better warra... | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers To those recommending integrated amps, note the OP has an excellent LTA MicroZOTL preamp in his system so pretty sure he’s just looking for a power amp. | |
| Noise coming from subwoofers and centre channel One thought — you didn’t mention if you’re using a power conditioner/surge protector, which I would hope you are given the cost of your system. If so obviously the conditioner would be plugged into the wall with a 3-prong plug so wondering if the... | |
| Shunyata Venom RCA vs Bluesound Node 2i stock rca I’d like to optimize what I have for now in a way that would be applicable for the future. Even if it’s one step at a time getting the best price whether it’s used or new without being frivolous. Got it. Ok, if it was me I’d focus on choosing n... | |
| Acoustic Zen Sartori - my experience @tooblue I’ve been using Satori shotgun bi-wire cables for many years and really love them but have always wondered what more the Holograms might offer. Can you go into more detail on the differences between the two? Thanks much for any thoughts... | |
| Shunyata Venom RCA vs Bluesound Node 2i stock rca What would you recommend replacing my AVR with? Also, which LPS and ethernet cable would you recommend? Well, these are huge questions, and it really all boils down to what improvements you’d like and what sound characteristics are most importa... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE? @jc51373 Very interesting indeed. I’ve read lots of superlatives about AGD amps and hold them in the highest regard but haven’t heard anything about their preamp, so consider my interest piqued. Thanks for sharing. | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE? @jc51373 Thanks for that very insightful and honest summary. I get most of it, but I have to say I was surprised that soundstage depth wasn’t great and on par with SS preamps. That’d be a major disappointment to me and an area where I thought AR... | |
| Can a DAC do double duty? So I would then just always keep it as "Eversolo" but I'd still be able to play the CD player under the "Eversolo" input, right? That’s exactly right. Maybe renaming the Krell input to “Pontus” would be a little less confusing? | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp Funny you mentioned Lampi because that’s exactly why I asked about tubes as Lampi DACs have a rep for having a huge, voluminous 3D soundstage. Then I’m thinking you want a preamp that can just convey all that goodness without either squelching it ... | |
| lyngdorff 3400 which was ? You beat me to it, but then again it is secretguy so we may never know. | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp Are you open to tubes? Your tastes would certainly point in that direction. Also, do you have stored music you need to play through a server or are you ok just streaming through something like Qobuz or Tidal? | |
| Streaming upgrade from Cambridge Audio cxn v2 I'm surprised that many of you are suggesting an expensive streamer rather than a cheap streamer and an expensive dac: if the dac has a reasonable sized buffer, shouldn't it make up for the weakness in the streamer? There’s still the issue of n... | |
| New to me von schweikert v4 upgrade 5/7 looking for amp What specific improvements/sound characteristics are you looking for, and what’s your budget and are you looking new or used? |
