| Active pre-amp for “difficult” music (fusion) @atmasphere The amp has balanced & un-balanced inputs. For Balanced, are you referring to the XLR pin assignments? | |
| Active pre-amp for “difficult” music (fusion) Thanks for all the replies. I think I'll just need to try a few pre-amps out and see how they sit with me and my system. I had not intended to use a tube line stage, but am intrigued by the Modwright SWL 9.0 or LS100 pre-amps. Any considerations/r... | |

| Pure Vinyl/Amarra "10-03-10: NjpAgear - I also stream music wirelessly from my Apple iMac to an Airport Express in another room and then via a Genesis Digital Lens to my DAC. Did you figure out a solution to streaming music through Pure Vinyl without Airfoil? Many ... | |
| Monitors for a small room - please help I recommend considering the Era D5s. They produce very good bass for a monitor this size, are warm and smooth and image superbly. I did audition the Dynaudio Excite as well, and preferred the Eras - just a little more natural sounding to me. There... | |
| Computer Speakers Not made in China What about Axiom? They make some cool looking computer speakers. Their speakers are made in Canada. Not sure if this applies to the little computer speaks though. |
