| British Integrated Amps I still use my Creek 4330 MkIi in a second system to this day. It was my first "real hifi" purchase and it will never leave. | |
| DIN Phono Cable Zavfino makes several grades of phono cables with straight or 90deg din connectors. Very well made and good sounding as well. I use a 90deg on a Mjestic cable from my Origin Live Onyx and couldn't be happier (without spending too much money) | |
| Cable synergy with BAT electronics A good friend uses Morrow Audio MA-7 and SP-7 with his VK-80 pre and VK-55se monos with very good results. | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? My first "hi-fi" purchase was a Creek 4330R MK2, it was a gateway drug to this hobby. Although its in a second system it still sounds great! | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring Before going forward I’d ask Peter what wire he used internally. He’s usually very good with email. I doubt that he used some cheap THHN. Some Neotrch OCC or Mundorf might give you a different sound but you’ll never know if it sounds better to yo... | |
| Can anyone tell me when XLR connections were first used on stereo equipment. (what years)? BAT, Balanced Audio Technology, is a great brand that makes all balanced equipment as the name implies. They are built like a tank and make a great integrated. | |
| BAT VK-31SE Remote I've been using an old Logitech Harmony remote for my VK-3ix. I changed to an Ayre preamp and that remote also works for volume on the BAT | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Herbie Hancock in San Diego several months ago. Great show and accompanying players. | |
| New speakers for a new start? +1 for PBN. I've heard Peter's speakers many times and they sound great with all types of music. They are fast, detailed, and the bass is tight and right. There's quite a few models to choose from depending on what you want to spend. Also, Pet... | |
| Upgrading to a stand alone DAC A used PS Audio DSD Mk1 is available for ~$1500 used | |
| New Steely Dan Aja I have the UHQR pressings of Pretzel Logic, Aja, and Gaucho. I consider these the best pressings of Steely Dan that I have. Granted I don’t have a CISCO pressing of Aja, but I have found these superior compared to the OG, Japanese, and audiophile ... | |
| 1 song you never get sick of? "Kick Start My Heart" - Motley Crue | |
| San Diego Audiophile group? I’m in North County, Bonsall, and have met with Carlsbad2 (Jerry) several times. Good guy and good system. I’ve also met Peter of PBN several times and he’s one of the good guys in audio. Sorry im going to be out of town for the Audio Guild meetin... | |
| Thinking of trying the new Schiit Skoll to replace my Rega MCFono I've heard the Rega MCfono and the Schiit (not Skol) Mani2 several times. I used to own a Mani2. I've never been impressed by either. I built an RJM Audio Emerald MM/MC phono preamp and it destroyed both. The only "budget" phonopreamp I've hea... | |
| DAC suggestions for a reasonably modest system PS Audio DSD +1 I just upgraded from an SMSL SU-9 to a PSA DSD and it was a huge step up. I found one used with the bridge for $1600. |
