| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? If you can't afford it but still feel that urge maybe it is time to consider what exactly you are wanting or missing out of your system. Perhaps a component you have can be modified or upgraded, or maybe sell some things you no longer use to fund ... | |
| Using external DAC with preamp with built-in DAC If you like the sound of the DAC you are using, you may be better off buying a preamplifier that focuses only on the analog circuit. You could bypass the other built in DAC but it seems counterintuitive and increases the risk of noise. | |
| GaN FET Amps vs. Traditional Class D Amps GaN operates at a much higher switching frequency and allows for less noise, higher efficiency and less distortion. There are quite a few Class D types out there and each has its own "sound" based on the designer and the quality of the output filt... | |
| South Florida - join in and make a REAL effort! I was only made aware of the meetups at Soundlux from one of the presenters who had shared the events, I think they do Classic Album Sundays too.

| Seeking a Tube preamplifier I would recommend you look into the Gilbert Yeung C312, you can control the tonal aspects between tube and solid state sound. You could change it on the fly or set it to your preference without guesswork or tube rolling. https://quarkhifi.com/prod... | |

Just a few threads such as this one that seem to fade out after a while. Does anyone do any kind of m... | |
| Gilbert Yeung C312 Preamplifier Review Yes she does, please see quarkaudio.com for the current model line up and pricing. There are still new models being added, with just about anything possible for custom work, Funky or not. | |
| Gilbert Yeung C312 Preamplifier Review Well laid out PCBs are utilized even here in the C312. The open wires are much better than laced or bundled wires to reduce crosstalk or interference. Point to point is, and always will be better than quick connectors. | |
| Gilbert Yeung C312 Preamplifier Review There are a lot of techs who are intimidated by this form of assembly, and I am sure some of that is also due to how AG carefully conceals the finite details of the amplification stages throughout. Truthfully I find it easier and more enjoyable wo... | |
| Gilbert Yeung and Blue Circle - New Brand / New Dealer Thank you for your comment MrD, I agree wholeheartedly. I actually started as a repair tech working on new and vintage equipment; AGY reached out to me to review the C312 preamplifier as I had a technical background and was also an admin for an au... | |
| Infinity F.E.T. preamp You will definitely be hard pressed to find a preamp under $6k that can perform as well as the Infinity FET, it is still one of my favorite pieces that will always stick around in my Infinity collection (#100 here). Last I saw a couple years ago t... | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! If maximum resolution and the best circuit design is what you are after, perhaps consider a power amplifier from Gilbert Yeung.
