| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? With all due respect, the OP asked if anyone had bought or heard a couple of amps in the D-Sonic SOA line. I have been following this thread and so far it appears that the only firsthand experience - with another highly touted amp - came from Wils... | |
| Need help with a Tube Preamp under $3000 Hello Birdiewins, I have some experience with what I consider a very nice buffer. It's made by Joseph Chow at Audio Horizons (check out their site). There is also quite a bit of information here on A-gon about AH flagship product - the TP preamp l... | |
| The owner of Grant Fidelity is battling cancer Thanks for posting Jedinite24. I'm a past Grant Fidelity customer, and also had the pleasure of meeting Ian at the first California Audio Show. He's a real gentleman and very passionate about audio. I wish him well in his battle. | |

| Amp hiss through speakers? I had a similar issue with Jolida hybrid amp, except it was more of a hum. I found out that it can sometimes be caused by the ground pin on the power cord. Apparently, in some cases, this ground pin can cause a ground loop and introduce hum and bu... | |

| Dave Brubeck I had a similar experience recently. Only it wasn't archiving ... it was listening to another Brubeck's "Greatest Hits" album on Columbia. It's just one LP, done in their "360 Sound" production approach - which seems to yield great sound quality. ... | |

| Sub Integration Question / Recommendation Thanks everyone for your input and ideas. I really appreciate it. Looks like there are definitely a few more things I can try in order to get this thing right. In the meantime, like Xti16, I've experimented with moving the sub ever so slightly. Th... | |
| How do you send an internet stream into a hi fi? Take a look at the list of Audioengine wireless products. I use the A1 (soon to be discontinued in favor of the improved A3), to stream Internet audio, like Pandora, and my iTunes library residing on the laptop ... very convenient. Have one set-up... | |
| Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC Jedinite24 you're right ... that was my sentiment exactly. I was surprised myself. But I had to go back and forth to between the D1 and Modwright BDP-83 to finally settle on the D1 for Redbook. (I'm listening to some Duke Ellington on the D1 right... | |
| Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC I have Maverick's first DAC - the D1. It looks like they addressed a couple of things in the re-design. I had mine modified by Joseph Chow of Audio Horizons (approx $300). He put in new caps, couplers, and upgraded wiring to reduce the noise. This... | |
| Wyred4Sound vs. Channel Island I don't have direct experience with the W4S mono's, but purchased a W4S ST-1000 while one of my CI D200's was out for repair (whole other story). My original plan was to sell the Channel Islands. I ended up selling the ST-1000 and keeping the CI m... | |
| Preamp modifications - who would you use? Since the previous poster mentioned Dan Wright, I'd like to weigh in again with the whole idea of modifying equipment. The OP asked about preamps. That is one of Joseph Chows specialties. I have a Dan Wright modified player as front end. Does it s... | |
