| New Rogue Tube/Class D Hybrids I have found that the combination of a Modwright tubed pre-amp and Wyred 4 Sound Class D monoblocks gives me the best sound for my money so far. I would have to spend considerably more money to get a top quality SS or tubed monoblock. I trust that... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? I liked my Jolida alot. It couldn't compete with my MMF-7/Eroica/Graham Slee though. I think $1000 won't really do it. Another thought is to find a DAC for $1000 fed from your Cambridge CDP. Then you can have streaming and a variety of inputs. Get... | |
| Subwoofer questions -- music only The REL subs prefer to run off of the speaker out terminals in mono (red, black,yellow). They are parallel to the speaker wires and attach to the amp with the speaker wires. The instructions on the Sumiko website are very complete. Mine is small a... | |
| New Rogue Tube/Class D Hybrids I find it interesting that we read many discussions regarding tube pre/SS amp vs SS pre/tube amp and Rogue has decided on the former not the latter. And, his reasoning makes sense. Not that science has anything to do with it. We like what we like.... | |
| Subwoofer questions -- music only In my small secondary system I have been more than satisfied with my VR-1s and a small sealed REL sub running off the speaker terminals via Neutrik. I haven't felt the need to change. My model is the Q108E and it has been replaced by other models,... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved I have to say that my MacMini>Hiface>EE Tube DAC setup sounds great. It is as good as any CD player I have owned (not SACD however). I leave the computer on all the time and Pure Music or Decibel is ready to play. Just find the song and doub... | |
| Need help matching DAC to speakers and amp Wow, it is difficult for you to choose without listening. As we all know, you try something and it is right (and you got lucky) or it is wrong and you try something else. I have experience with the PS Audio DLIII and loved the warmth and "musicali... | |
| Onyko TX-NR809 Only you know if it sounds good to you. In terms of reliability, I have had the 805 for several years and I never have had one time where it did not perform perfectly. No resets, no dropouts, no overheating. I use it only as a surround processor a... | |
| Advice re: Entry level CD Player I agree with Buconero117 about the Sony SCD-CE595. However you can no longer get it from Sony or any other retailer I have found. However, I did see it on ebay for reasonable prices (none of them are mine, mine is not for sale). I had one, sold it... | |
| Youtube Music Videos. Try the latest videos from the Java Jazz Festival on Youtube. Surprisingly good sound and good camera work. There is a whole range of artists performing. | |
| Any experiences with Modwright SWL9.0SE ??? I have had nothing but pleasure from this pre-amp. In my system it is perfect. | |
| Opting for no CDP -- only to regret it? I did the same. I was lucky and found an older CDP-the Sony SCD-CE595 direct from Sony which plays great 2 channel SACD and CD for $60. I can also run the digital output to the same DAC I currently use. It's a good option to just throw on a CD, or... | |
| Long IC pre to amp Blue Jean Cable LC-1. | |
| DIY ICs Most will float the ground at the terminal end and ground it at the source end. | |
| DIY ICs Thanks for the ideas. Still a work in progress. |
