| Inexpensive streamer options for Amazon HD? +1 on Qobuz. TAS just did a review of the hi-res streaming services and Amazon HD did not fare well versus the others. | |
| Best DAC For My Setup Under $10k Really depends on your individual tastes and what improvements you’d like over what the Qutest is giving you. Not knowing any of that, I’ll just throw out that the Mojo Mystique V3 Evo has garnered a lot of praise and may be worth adding to your ... | |
| Tube virgin looking for tube amp under $3k Maybe an easier way to dip into the tube world would be with a hybrid integrated with a tube input stage but solid state amplification. This way you get a good dose of the “tube magic” but with less maintenance and cost, and you can still play ar... | |
| soliloquy 5.3 or 5.0 w/sub? Actually there’s a pair on eBay and another on US AudioMart now in case you’re interested. | |
| Do modems / routers matter (beyond speed) Yeah, unfortunately everything in audio matters at some level. The question then becomes where the biggest bottleneck to better performance lies. | |
| Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000... +1 the LTA MZ2 with the linear power supply. Very quiet and neutral, and you can change tubes to add a little more warmth if you want. I believe there’s a way to do an in-home trial, which would make this a no brainer IMHO. I’d be surprised if ... | |
| Enquiring minds want to know Oh boy. Lighten up here dudes — I think @arafiq is just blowing off some steam. But I will add that GIK sells those panels for way more than the cost of the parts to build them. How dare they!!! | |
| Can I use my Allnic L3000 preamp with headphone amp? I guess you’d need to check the specs on whatever amp you’re looking at or ask the manufacturer (or post here), but I’d suspect most headphone amps can handle most line-level inputs. Another option would be to run a headphone amp with a volume co... | |
| soliloquy 5.3 or 5.0 w/sub? Never hurts to ask. Yeah, I sold my 5.3s shortly after my prior post and bought the 6.2s that I’m still thoroughly enjoying and will probably never sell. I noticed some 5.3s show up from time to time on various websites, so if you check HiFishar... | |
| New Amp/Pre Amp for Paradigm Persona 9h Speakers With those speakers you certainly have lots of options as they don’t require a ton of power, and you’ve already got some great options listed. The key, I think, is how to get you more warmth without going too far. Honestly the first thing that cam... | |
| Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000... Despite what you’ve been told, what specific improvements are YOU looking for? | |
| Beginner money for separate Amp/Preamp for Hm Th Here’s what I’d do if I’m you. I’d get a Yamaha RX-A2070 AVR from accessories4less.com for $1200 and just start there (although the 1070 for $900 may work too depending on your speakers). Why? I drove a pair of $9000 B&W804D3s with one usin... | |
| BEST SPEAKER FOR BRYSTON 7B ST,,, Dudes, the post is 19 years old. Pretty sure he’s made a decision by now. | |
| B&W 603 vs Martin Logan 40i ? I think your idea of the Evo 4.3 with the Evo 4.C center would be very worth exploring, and through places like Crutchfield, Music Direct, etc. you can try them at home and return them if they don’t wow you (but they probably will). Another great ... | |
