| Best way to set gain Yes, I was meaning cycling of the caps expanding and contracting just trying to cut it short. I noticed when I did this with my C 3800 it improved a bit in timber. Congratulations on your all in one purchase I had to do one at a time.Im using Crys... | |
| Best way to set gain The Accuphase well take 600 hours to break in, its a slow painful journey but between 500 & 600 is when you start to say WOW. I used CasCade burn in about 250 of those hours and let it run 24/7 mostly and then started turning off the preamp a ... | |

| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? I ran the Arye QX 5 Twenty direct to my Accuphase A 65 for several months and thought it sounded outstanding but I knew it needed a preamp, a couple of weeks ago I got the matching Accuphase C 3800 preamp and its a completely different level of au... | |

| How much difference between Dynaudio C1 & Contour 1.3SE? I would not run the Nordost Valhalla speaker cables on S25,s , they have a reputation for being thin and fatigue sounding over time. The S25 s need a more organic cable like Purist, WireWorld, Crystal Cable, Crystal Clear. Sim Audio while certainl... | |
