| Phono stage for second system FYI This months Sterofile loved up the PrimaLuna phono stage. I’m somewhat dubious about most reviews but not by John Atkinson. | |
| Battle of the Open Baffles @ricevs What is your website please? I tried to contact you via Agon messaging but that was a no go. I’m in the northern bay area. Thx. | |
| ??? Full Loom vs Mix ??? MIX So much great stuff and the high end nuance hardly matters to me. Should I win the lottery, then I would go all in on Hijiri cabels or maybe Cardas clear beyond. | |
| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? From the Streamer an AES/EBU cable is used into the Weiss DAC and then XLR or RCA form the Weiss goes to the Pre or intreated AMP. A wise man told me that AES/EBU is where the magic happens having something to do with how the DAC takes over???? A... | |
| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? Weiss not bright. I have it paired w/ a Grimm MU1. Weiss has gobs of adjustments too. I tried many but don’t use. | |
| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? The top tier Lampizators are Grrreeeaatt and great $$$$. The T + A 200 D/A is in the same realm as the Weiss 501 and it is excellent and a very good value even at full price. | |
| 300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel? Some of this fascinating discussion goes over my lumpy bald noggin and I’m not sure I’d want the news a phrenologist might report. I have the Sachs/Olsen 300B mono blocks and thier Pre. No listening fatigue is my truest test and that’s an A+. | |
| Speaker cables with good timbre Recently on Agon I found a pair of Shunyata Research Alpha v2 speaker cables. Like wow. Here’s another set. If they will let you try ‘em. Please do! FYI asking price is very good too.. | |

| PS Audio BHK signature preamp Another Amp first vote. DAC second. But please consider that they are now ah days many fine intergrateds. The Accuphase E-4000 180W/ch Integrated Stereo Amplifier Comes to mind. New/Used. The sterophile list has all sorts in every price range. | |
| Streamer recommendations Yes if your budget permits Grimm MU1 or MU2. Wow. | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? Another voice in cyberspace that says be nice. Maybe talk about toe in if pressed. KISS. If sincerely asked what they might do, that’s a different story. If they get the bug the rest might follow. | |
| Reliability - what’s your experience been? Me. Heading loss. Can’t send bavk! | |
| Sub suggestions please Two subs is good subs. Read why on other threads. | |
| Streamer recommendations Correction. I first took CD’s and ripped ‘em to flac. Flac files now on streamer on a SSD disk. I’m usung Roon. Search these fora and you will find great in depth information. |
