| Ethernet cable for music streaming Before spending $$$ on an Ethernet cable I’d get an external linear power supply for the Innuos — something like a Teddy Pardo LPS would be fine for around $400 and don’t need to spend more than double on the Innuos LPS IMHO. Just my $0.02 FWIW. | |
| Preamp for Bryston 4b3 & Tannoy Cheviots Sorry, forgot about the balanced issue. I’d go with the preamp that sounds best and get a dedicated headphone amp if/when the time comes. | |
| Looking for a simple but exquisite front end All you should need is a standard preamp (apparently not passive) and preferably one with balanced outputs as the speakers look like they only have XLR inputs. Which preamp you choose should be based on what sonic characteristics you’re looking f... | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers I would also recommend the F12G w/ the GR research driver over the F12. +1 since music is your priority. | |
| Looking for cable recommendations for sennheiser HD800s Congrats and look forward to your thoughts! | |
| Preamp for Bryston 4b3 & Tannoy Cheviots If headphones are likely part of your future that should put the LTA MicroZOTL high on your list as it’s an outstanding headphone amplifier in addition to preamp. Also, sonically it walks a deft line offering something for people who like aspects... | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers Two subs is better than one, and four are better than two as long as the subs are somewhat comparable as are the F12 and F18. Of your options and if it’s viable I’d put a swarm of 4 F12s at the top of the list. Best of luck. | |
| JPLAY ? Qobuz iPhone I installed mconnect on my phone. It does not see the Hegel. It’s been a while since I did this, but you need to get mconnect to access your Qobuz account probably through Settings somewhere if you haven’t already. Then on the right side ther... | |
| Preamplifier sound Quality impact in home theatre bypass +1 @facten I’d be more concerned about burning all those tubes for HT. | |
| Thoughts? - First Watt F8 / Vandersteen Treo's When Atkinson measured the original Treo he found relatively benign impedance but sensitivity of 82.5dB that was even lower than the stated 85dB spec. I wouldn’t drive those speakers with your amp. | |
| Hum mystery to me Did you try running table 2 through the phono pre if possible? I’d try a cheater plug on the phono pre just to see if that eliminates the hum, and if it does maybe someone here smarter than me can help you troubleshoot for a more permanent soluti... | |
| JPLAY ? Qobuz iPhone You can get the mconnect Player HD app that only costs $6. | |
| Can an unbalanced-to-balanced adaptor damage an amplifier? Just check with T&A. | |
| An Inspired Meeting: Haynes and Scofield jam on Allman Bros' "Dreams" Great stuff! | |
| Market Stabilization? Completely misinformed and clueless on global economics among other things. Thanks for bringing up unrelated topics nobody asked about and that don’t belong here. |
