| Cookies. Just another reason AGon sucks Cookies are an invasion of privacy and theft of storage real estate. And worst of all they take the lovely idea of little cakes and make them something ugly. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, Jim’s idea of costs coming down with production would seem to make sense. Amortization sets in at some point, no? I only referenced the combinations that I did as a refence to what Jim was using. Other than for small receiver/ shelf mou... | |
| Cookies. Just another reason AGon sucks I don't care for the cookies either. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, at the risk of beating a dead horse, please note in order to have a consistent, generally available reference that I used the Audiogon Blue Book for pricing. I also used end of cycle pricing for the CS 3.5's combination, and beginning o... | |
| Thiel Owners I used an Adcom SLC 505, a B&K CS115 and a c-j PF 2L with the Adcom 555 II. At least one of the Adcom pres was highly rated, and considered something of a giant killer. I never heard a Musical Fidelity product that I would consider buying. Is... | |
| Thiel Owners @thoft, I assume your addressing me? IMHO, the CS 6’s were something of a poor value. Similar to the CS 3.6’s in range, though with much greater ease and dynamics, but at nearly twice the cost, again IMHO, a poor value. YMMV! The CS 7’s were one o... | |
| Thiel Owners @thieliste, re: your 11/24/2020 post: Thiel Owners | Audiogon Discussion Forum IMHO, what improvements the Thiel CS 3.6’s had over the Thiel CS 3.5’s amounted to 2 steps forward / 3 steps back. Where as the flat co-axial drivers in the CS 3.7’s we... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, In reply to your 11/25/2020 post: Thiel Owners | Audiogon Discussion Forum Let me say that your measurements are better than mine, as I have none. Though I think Stereophile's component measurements have real value, I am hesitant to u... | |
| Control volume with DAC or Preamp? @madavid0, So rather than for a reason, it’s for a preference? And I don’t post this to discount your preference. | |
| High end Class D amps? I don’t have the engineering chops to add much to this discussion, and neither do I have a dog in this. It would seem to me that much of this difference of opinion might be about the theoretical possibilities vs.actual consumer available units tha... | |
| Control volume with DAC or Preamp? @fastfreight, May I ask which Audionet pieces you are using? | |
| Control volume with DAC or Preamp? @atmasphere, My previous post was in regard to your more recent post and newly mentioned “passive controls” and whether or not that was indeed the OP’s subject at hand. In response to that original post, I think it prudent to mention that dependin... | |
| Control volume with DAC or Preamp? @madavid, why should ...”Volume control via DAC chip is to be avoided period.”...? | |
| Control volume with DAC or Preamp? @atmasphere, I’m not sure that one could accurately describe the OP’s direct from DAC to amp application as “passive”? | |
| Best DAC @mr_sacrimoni, Yes, depending on your other sources (if any) and the DAC, you might not need or want a preamp. Often times with DAC’s the volume control whether on the DAC or preamp acts more like a brake than an accelerator. Many modern DAC’s hav... |
