| Cable Survey @maine95. Sorry for the slow reply. I'm a mess from a mountain bike crash..The neutral stays in place without a problem using the foamed Teflon tube from vh audio. It's squishy, so I just kept the neutral coil a little tight and it locked itself ... | |
| Streaming vs traditional Right? 'plants like CO2, more is better!' wtf?Also, I just started streaming tidal on my oppo 105 and it sounds incredible. I really was doubtful, but man, their high res is high res! I think it might even sound better than the CD version of an al... | |
| Vibration Issues / Turntable Decisions I use an isolation platform I made from a maple butcher block and 4 springs. I don’t have footfall issues, but it improved my sound.. however: I don’t recommend a spring isolated platform, whether it’s air or coil springs, as your turntable alread... | |
| Streaming vs traditional Uh, yeah. Just like water. And when there's too much of it, it's a problem. | |
| Impedance Question? Well, I'd say you should trust the manufacturers more than us. But putting together what they both said, I'd say they seem like they'd work. Proof is in listening, of course | |
| Impedance Question? It is so confusing isn't it?! I'm currently looking at room measurement mics so I can stop going completely by 'feel'.Good luck! I use a dared mc7-p preamp (class a tube) with my class d monos and it sounds beautiful. I think it only has an output... | |
| CD/DVD player advice Why new? Used you get more for your money.. just curious for your reasoning, not attacking you. | |
| Impedance Question? Quick and dirty answer: you want the amp to have an input impedance at least 10x the output impedance of the pre. Here's a solid thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/how-to-match-preamp-and-power-amp | |
| CD/DVD player advice Ha! I have an oppo 105. I've had many opportunities and hope for many more.. | |
| CD/DVD player advice If you're after the best choice CD player, you'll probably get better sound from a dedicated CD player. If all the money you're paying is focused just on audio, chances are it will be better than a universal disc player.That said, I have an opport... | |
| Spend more money on the amp or the pre-amp? Wow, those are great prices! How's it all sounding? | |
| Best Budget RCA cables Do try to let them break in. I have noticed the need to let cables and fuses settle in, break in, whatever..Not sure about the length thing. I have heard that a slightly longer cable can be better, but only for digital. I believe it was USB. Not s... | |
| Looking to completely overhaul my preamp section, knowledgeable people needed! +1 on a separate DAC. I never understood the draw of a DAC integrated into a pre since, like @mesch said, the tech and standards change so frequently. | |
| Looking to completely overhaul my preamp section, knowledgeable people needed! Ha! I just had a gentleman in another thread go on about how awesome the adcom 555 sounds and I shouldn’t believe what I read. I haven’t heard much good about them as serious high end amps.OP - I have a tube pre as well and love it. If I were in y... | |
| After a (weeks) worth of listening... @slaw I love that Pearl Jam album! |
