| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? tzh21y As for your question...I spent under 5K for a Lumin T2 w/ external power supply. I can't tell the difference vs. analog. Lumin T2 has a built in dac. Amp is tubes. As for "I have heard some very high end digital front ends" ...were those p... | |
| Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever) mtdining, As the French say "À Chacun Son Goût." A PL integrated isn’t junk nor is your Luxman, Mac or fill in the blank. A transistor radio is simple but that’s junk. | |
| US made, integrated tube preamp able to handle KT150 tubes? I have two PL HP’s. On running EL34’s and the other KT120’s No problems with either. What speakers? 15O’s could be more than they need. The 150’s are hot hot hot! Hot! | |
| Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever) +1 PrimaLunaRogueWant to really simplify? Use a streamer with a DAC. The high res files are stunning.A system made of three things and an IPad. KISS. Speakers AmpMusic Server. That’s all. Simple. Full confession I just did this. I don’t miss rec... | |
| Need Some Tube Amp Advice Also consider if you want to bias or get a self biasing Amp(S). And please check out Rogers high fidelity. Beautiful Amps http://rogershighfidelity.comWill you want to headphones? Not all rigs have a jack. | |
| Need Some Tube Amp Advice The Manleys good choice. A Primaluna (new or used) integrated comes with a remote, The remotes have a mute button as well. A remote controller is a beautiful thing. Primaluna Pre amps have remotes to. Given your room I’m not sure if you would hear... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? f917025“streamer users are fashion victims just like the first transistor users.”Respectfully disagree, that’s a polite way of saying it....it’s all so subjective (room, system, etc.)...a few of us did a blind test where we listened to the same tu... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? With out of the box settings I found the opposite. Granted my gear isn’t yours but my T2 with upgraded power supply (with a good ethernet and power cables but not stratospheric ones) sounds better than my PrimaLuna tube CD player. Also using WiFi ... | |
| How many amps do you own? Two Primaluna HP integrateds. (For now) One using EL 34's and one with KT120's. Revels on one system and SonusFabers on the other.After reading the above I feel it's ok to keep going | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? There are two parts to getting analog sound from digital. It's not hard. Even I did it. First is the source. The second is a DAC into the Amp (So many good Dac's out there now). I agree a DAC need not cost a much as a car new or used. As others ha... | |
| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities +1 On Primaluna Especially the HP (they also have a sub out tap)Found Atmosphere's response fascinating. If I understand correctly that you have Klipsch Heresy’s w/ a frequency response of 58-20,000 Hz..then a sub couldn't hurt. I run a small sub ... | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl +1 @lalitk "At the end of the day, it just comes down to enjoying your favorite tunes regardless of the medium."Vinyl/turntables are the embodiment of analog where as other sources need to be treated with DAC’s to get back to analog sound. I can’t... | |
| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? +1 on stretching your budget and getting the T2 (and with an external power supply it jumps up a tad more)..a serious bit of gear.An inexpensive way (not with poor sound) would be to get a Schiit dac and plug into that something from an iPad, comp... | |
| This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner When I was a kid I will never forget going to a stereo store in NYC with my father. They sold Macs and he got bitten (me too). His last pride and joy system some years back was Mac gear with Tannoy speakers. My mom gave them away!!! Mom!!! I’ll om... |
