| First Watt SIT-3 preamp pairing advice I have the SIT 3 parked with a Freya+ and Soliloquy 6.3’s 89db (2.5 way) bi-wired speakers. I’m quite certain the more expensive preamps listed make noticeable improvements over the Schitt preamp but I’m satisfied with the gain level of the Freya ... | |
| Power Cord recommendations for a First Watt SIT3 Thanks everyone on this post, with feedback that meets of my budget. $0.00 for upgrading a new chord to compliment my used SIT3. I'm loving it, just that way it is! :) | |
| Sunlight.... To my ears there are improvements with this update. Greater separation within the drum kit, more airiness overall, back up singers dropped back further behind lead vocals.. The only area that seems adversely affected is in the mid-range bass, seem... | |
| soliloquy 5.3 or 5.0 w/sub? Soix.., I found a pair of 6.3’s on Craigslist of all places.. stars lined up, local pick up in SF. What’s the chances? Paid less than $600, great condition, couldn’t be happier. | |
| Is there any benefit for adding a preamp for my current system set thanks cat_...., I've recently started using the MHA 100's 50w output for speakers and have been really impressed paired with super efficient tower speakers. My original buying motivation for the MHA amp was headphones. Very pleased with that a... | |
| Best Sounding USB Cables? I'm using a Wireworld silver starlight. Retails in your price range. And there's a 5m online for a good price. I don't use mine a bunch, but in the rare event I need to connect my Mac to DAC, I'm always impressed by the connection. | |
| soliloquy 5.3 or 5.0 w/sub? Hi Tim, are you still selling your 5.3's? | |
| What Combinations of Components Have You Put Together That Sound Good? MAC MHA 100 (50 W headphone amp), PS Audio Direct Stream DAC w/ Bridge II, Fostex th900 MK2 w/ upgraded silver/copper cable and titanium connectors. Wireworld gold XLR and Transparent ethernet cable. Obviously a headphone/ streamer set up and will... | |
| Headphones are cutting in and out. Trying to determine if it is the cable or the cans? Thanks all, it was the cable. Replaced it, problem sovled. | |
| Waht is the best streamer for the money under $2500 (no DAC or storage required). I'm quite happy with the PS, thanks... Would have been nice to have the resources to put several units in line and were able to sample several options against each other. My | |
| Is the Lawton tune-up and/or wooden cup replacements worth it ? in_shore, thanks for that insight, I'll probably get the work done after your review. best! | |
| Waht is the best streamer for the money under $2500 (no DAC or storage required). I really appreciate all the comments. I've gone 180 degress against my original thoughts and decided to go with all in 1 DAC/Streamer. Did a bunch of reading on the TECH, lumin, aurander, roon, zen, chord and more... Finally went with a PS Audio... | |
| Is the Lawton tune-up and/or wooden cup replacements worth it ? Thansk for your response. Did you by chance get to sample the sound comparison with TUNE UP with the stock cups? I don't plan to change the cups. Best!Also, are you using the stock TH900 cable or upgraded that too? | |
| Which is the best upgrade for the money for steaming from lap to through amp? which selection of streamers might you recommend if i don’t require a dac? this was actually my next considerations. you’re right on point- thanks | |
| Which is the best upgrade for the money for steaming from lap to through amp? I received the USB cable and rigged it today. I must confess that i was pleasantly surprised with the sonic improvement. I can't talk all that audiophile lango, but i assuredly heard recordings in a different way.. the nuances of drums rolls, ho... |
