Getting with the 21st century, need DAC for streaming
Budget?  What kind of sound characteristics are you looking for?Sorry, I should have posted a dollar amount but omitted and just wrote “intermediate” as I’m not sure what the ranges are, I assume from $50 to $5000. I imagine I could start with may... 
Dilemma - Bryston B60 add preamp or replace
Interesting, I hadn’t seen that TMR before, been out of the game for a while, thanks!  
What Integrated Amp do You use
Like a couple others here I’ve owned a Bryston B60 for 21 years. It was quite a stretch to buy back then as I was waiting tables. Great little unit but I am tempted to try the new Parasound NewClassic 200 as it seems to have all the right bells an... 
Spare Bryston B60 for headphones, or 2nd system?
Very interesting! Thanks. Actually I thought of posting this in the headphone section, but then I am totally open to using it with speakers as well, and I thought it might get differing opinions in this section too.  If it’s a half decent headphon... 
Interconnects and non-believers
The old AQ Truth are great cables, in truth. I wish they still made them. If I recall correctly even back then AQ controlled them for directionality. I had copper and silver versions of AQ Truth. Other than keeping connections nice and bright the ... 
Interconnects and non-believers
Well after 20 years with the same cables, this thread just had to get me considering purchases!Would one be able to say that cables wear out with time? I have some old Audiotruth, if anyone remembers them, which are better than lamp cord, but defi... 
Looking for my first tube amplifier, help appreciated.
I agree with meadowman above, Rogue Audio makes a great product. I originally posted a suggestion looking at the Rogue Audio Sphinx, but it's a hybrid integrated, and I see you're running separates. I have the Sphinx and it absolutely rocks (I lis... 
#8 AWG spade connectors??
That's a pity I wasn't aware of that site/tool. I bought mine from another site recommended here in the chat. It all worked out though, and I hope to never have to remove the connectors or heat shrink. They are pretty bomb proof connectors and a g... 
#8 AWG spade connectors??
you looked at the site closer, you would have seen the tool they offer for the connectors. I went with the crimp style bananas, something about terminating with the set screws doesn’t appeal to me.Looking at your post from 3-22, was hoping you wou... 
Second audio system in your house?
Oops, I meant Mini-X A-100 on that model number. 
Second audio system in your house?
when you do the phones be sure to spring for a tube headphone amp. You needn't spend that much to get amazing soundActually I think it's going to happen before the second system! Any recommendations tostadosunidos? (Like your funny name) I was lo... 
No bass with new turntable?
I know it's been over a month since anyone was on this thread but I thought I'd mention I had continuing problems with the crappy included interconnects, mostly ground hum and a loose inner connection at the RCA point. Just by touching it I would ... 
#8 AWG spade connectors??
Furez connectors installed! I bought the labeled heat shrinks and the whole enchilada, really happy with them. One word: big. But what a huge PITA the Allen wrench didn't come included. I think it was supposed to. I have quite an array of wrenches... 
Second audio system in your house?
I'm super interested in the headphone area! I can see a set up in the house in the very near future. There's so many options/combinations it's almost overwhelming. I've been curious about the new Oppo stuff, Sennheiser, AKG, Shure, the list goes o... 
#8 AWG spade connectors??
I received the Furez spades, and my errant order from PartsExpress. Holy cow there is a huge difference between your standard plastic shielded, gold plated .001 ounce, regular spade - and the clearly audiophile grade, heavy copper spades! Not bash...
