| Tubed Preamp recommendations? jperry,....+1... 100% of solidarity! Superb option.. respected guru Bascom King also mentioned that unit as an example of well built preamp. | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? I don’t know... maybe I’m too picky... I did compared Freya + rolling Ken-Rad 6sn7gt as well Sylvania 6SN7GT and RCA 6SN7GT with Modwright LS-100 and Cary slp-05 and on my opinion SQ of Freya not even close to those two units. | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? Still entry level..no trigger option, ON-OFF function is annoying...even with best tube rolling you the SQ of Frea + is not comparable with CJ, AR, Cary Audio or Modwright.. | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? Schiit Freya + Is very entry level preamp... it too microphonic, the tone board is too weak, so when you rolling tubes you always have to be extra careful in case to do not break something... and most annoying thing is that you have to turn it in ... | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? Increase your budget for just 3-5 hundred and get used Modwright LS-100... I’ve got one a month ago and very satisfied with it... wide stage, clear beautiful sound with nice harmony of mids, heights and lows.. plus huge advantage of 12v triggers a... | |
| Does It Even Matter? jjss49, it is matter how those 1’ and 0’ being processed and through what quality audio components they passing through heading to the end.... this is objective aspect of SQ | |
| Does It Even Matter? Bluetooth streaming will never give you descent SQ like dedicated network audio streamer, but if your budget is limited and you don’t want to spend on network streamer, don’t go with Bluetooth. Try Google Audio Chromecast with optical mini Toslink... | |
| Looking for a front end streamer only. ghjuvanni59, I did performed actual comparison test between Node 2i and Lumin D2 as well Teac NT-505.... and I have to tell you that difference in SQ between Node 2i and those two streamers is huge, not in favor of Node....FLAC signal could be the... | |
| Looking for a front end streamer only. airmanmike54, Auralic 2.1 is very good transport player, but the way it unfolds Tidals MQA is kind a tricky gray.... So maybe Lumin U1 would be a better choice... big plus it has dedicated external power supply... if not U1, than maybe Lumin T2 wi... | |
| How to connect Tidal to DAC wireless via iPad phill55, if you decided to go with node2 try and test both types of interconnections...First: node2->digital cable->DAC audio mirror troubadour se III->preamp->etc. Second: node2-> rca interconnects cables-> direct to the preamp-... | |
| How to connect Tidal to DAC wireless via iPad oh, one more thing...your DAC is very good high quality component, but not supporting MQA so if you planning to stream Tidal with it you will miss Tidal’s best quality... think twice before buying streamer... maybe you will benefit from streamer w... | |
| How to connect Tidal to DAC wireless via iPad You won’t get best SQ streaming from your iPad, but most optimal way to do it is using Chromecast Audio device with mini Toslink to Toslink optical cable. https://www.whathifi.com/us/google/chromecast-audio/reviewhttps://www.amazon.com/WIREWORLD-S... | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. Folks, plz stop communistic, socialistic and other mass fairness ideas... that is totally utopia and it’s already being proven by others bad experiences. All communists and socialists ending being saved and fed by capitalists. Maybe those ideas lo... | |
| PS Audio BHK lacking.. Another big question...- is hybrid preamps like BHK much better in bass aspect then full tube units like Modwright or VAC ? Did anybody compared same price range preamps with hybrid and full tube circuitry? | |
| PS Audio BHK lacking.. I was thinking to replace my parasound jc2 with BHK preamp for the last couple of months, but looks like other experiences and opinions r so controversial. Now what I have is big big doubts. Should I do it and will SQ get benefited from it !!!??? |
