| More Bass Legacy Signature 3 owner here. Does your speakers have the switches on the backside to turn off and on the rear firing tweeters? Maybe play with those switches a bit and see if it helps. Read the manual first. They may be in an undesirable positio... | |
| 2 for 1 or the PS Audio upgrade route? SACD, I suppose, is required. Currently own 2 or 3 of them. Listen to them once or twice a year. It’s tough to lay down 20$ and up for one SACD when cds are essentially being given away for pennies on the dollar. | |
| Do I Need a New DAC? Recently, I purchased a dac with a dead optical input. Popped the lid and wrote down the receiver number. This was an rx176. Ordered from Ali baba. Unsolder old part. Install new part and solder. If uncomfortable doing that, parts connexion wou... | |
| 2 for 1 or the PS Audio upgrade route? Thank you for the first hand experience. The Marantz seems to be a solid unit based upon what I’ve read. | |
| Linn Sondek Phono Preamp If the tube sound is what you seek Space Tech Labs produces high quality gear at “reasonable” prices. I currently own a unit with the outboard Super Rectifier. The sound is unbelievable. The only caveats being MM or high output MC only and single ... | |

| Looking for "servo control module" for the Mcintosh MCD500 cd player Recently had a cd transport drive crap out on me. Was unable to locate one in the states. Found them on ali baba quite reasonably priced. So reasonably I bought 2. Maybe they will have what you seek? | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? “So what do those much more expensive DACS do for sound?” Distort the sound less. Have way better output stages than the lower cost units. Generally speaking of course. | |
| My analog journey - time for a new phono stage or? The Phonomena II+ appears to have an op-amp driven output stage. Choose a phono stage with a discrete output stage or a tube output stage. My preference is the tube sound, yet tubes are a hassle for some. A properly done discrete stage would be a ... | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? “I don’t know why this thread went off the rails so early but since it did,” It appears to be the nature of the Audiogon beast nowadays. One asks a question regarding cd players and gets 50 replies regarding streamers.…. Good times. | |
| Previous Ownership...does it matter to you? “Previous Ownership...does it matter to you?” Warranty wise? Absolutely! Otherwise, sort of. A solid back story is nice. | |

| Audio Alchemy DDE 1.0 PS, what is radio shack ver? @cadet1 is correct. The DDE 1.0 needs a DC power supply with positive, negative and ground leads put through a traditional 1/8” headphone plug.
