| Exposed to tubes? RE: the plexi cover- there is a recent thread on customer dust covers. Run a search- there were numerous referrals. DNA 1 is quite a good amp. One question, do your CDP and pre have full balanced circuitry, or just XLRs out, or are you running ada... | |
| Newbie requiring first system advice... Hi Ben- the NAD is a good unit. I have heard the Acoustic Energy Aegis One and it is a good speaker with a surprising amount of bass. Have not heard the Evo 1. Would suggest that at this stage, you consider leaving a sub out, and putting the $ int... | |
| I'm thinking of getting into tubes, what do you I don't think they do. Maybe CAT? | |
| Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't Tp- That is probably the best way to go. Stick around, but remember, some positions in life restrict your freedom in certain circumstances. Our Governor in CT is finding this out the hard way. Some of his "friends" let him use their condos at the ... | |
| Why Don't My DAC Like My DIP? why not shut down the dac first? | |
| A really dumb tube question 12AT7s are interchangable w/E81CC, ECC81, ECC801s and several others in most line stages (6201s, I think). Check Joe's Tube Lore over at AA. | |

| Sota turntable not SOTA,need help.Thanks. Nrchy is correct. They are very friendly and responsible. Small operation so sometimes it may take a few hours to hear back but they will not lead you astray. | |
| Amp "pop" - need help DNA-1 is biased higher into Class A, if I remember correctly. Mine ran substantially hotter than my 0.5. | |
| Is psb alpha intro match w/ sony str-de685 I have not heard that speaker, but psb speakers have traditionally provided high value. | |
| amp pop - need help Something wrong there. My DNA 0.5s always ran relatively cool, cooler than the 1.0s for sure. You will probably need to go to SMcAudio for service; while its in, spring for an upgrade. Really improves the amp. | |
| Beginner system that can hold its own? Any Ideas? For speaker cables, try DH Labs T-14, used 8' should run you about $60. Very nice cable w/o any major flaws. | |
| My vote for Tweak of the Week Wonder how much CBS/MTV paid Janet for her knobs? | |
| My vote for Tweak of the Week OK, I now have to 'fess up that I saw that link on Head-fi, and had to pass it on. However, there is no question that the "Turd-o-matic" wins! |
