| Streamer creates a Wow experience @eisen0169 The power supply still makes a difference (my Zen Stream is plugged into an Audience power conditioner). I’d highly recommend picking up a used IFi iPowerX from B&H for only $75 — that’s what I did. I’d also highly recommend doing a... | |
| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 It all depends on what sound characteristics/improvements you’re looking for. All the preamps on your list sound different so you really need to nail down what kind of sound you’re looking for. | |
| $4000 BUGDET - YOU ONLY HAVE 2 CHOICES - YOUR FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED Another option would be to get the MRX 540 AVR and the Pontus and just don’t use the 540’s amps, and the total cost would be around $3500. The question would be how much of a compromise is the preamp section of the 540 versus the AVM 70 and if it... | |

| Streamer creates a Wow experience @jond Thanks man. So far I’ve only gotten to hear this stuff on my HeadFi rig and it made a big improvement. I get my DNA 0.5 back from SMcAudio very soon and can’t wait to hear this gear in the big rig. | |
| I’ve got the upgrade itch I’m a huge fan of Atmasphere too, but you really need to commit to going fully balanced to get what their gear is capable of. Also, I’m not sure you should limit yourself to a certain tube type. Rather, it might be better to just identify what s... | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement or am I missing something here? @johnlnyc You’re absolutely missing something here. | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience hey that’s awesome you’re in love with your new set up! Enjoy it!! When are you getting a DDC? Keep the thoughts flowing…update us here on how that changed the sound. @audphile1 Man, I’m absolutely aching for an SU6 and I even already have a 6”... | |
