| The Best Preamp is no Preamp? Try listening to your digital preamp (dac) at low volume first before reaching the conclusion of not needing an analog preamp. | |
| whats the best pre amp to pair with Bryston 4b cubed? A I would try the Schitt Freya+ ($1000) with the 4B3 if I wanted a warmer sound. Or someone other tube preamp. I know that a BAT VK-42SE that I had in the past worked well with Bryston 7B-SST. Though the cube line is warmer than the SST line. I curr... | |
| Krell Duo 175xd If I did not want to use the CODA or KRELL to drive the RAAL SR1a. I could get a dedicated SR1a headphone amp such as the following. Schiit Audio: Audio Products Designed and Built in California and Texas This is the lowest end one, but I am loo... | |
| Krell Duo 175xd @brownsf The headphone is plugged into the RAAL amp interface box which is included when you buy the SR1a. I have 2 of them, one is currently connected to my CODA #8 and the other is a spare that I was trying out temporally with the KRELL 175 XD.... | |
| Krell Duo 175xd The problem with the speaker connectors was that it was tightened to a level that made me scared I would snap it if I turned it too much. I was wondering if the connector was a different type than what I was used to. I managed to slowly twist it a... | |
| Krell Duo 175xd I was going to ask a question on this thread about the KRELL 175XD speaker connections. However, I figured it out without breaking anything. Just needed some controlled muscle power. I have the CODA #8 and the KRELL 175 XD in my office now, I als... | |
| Lumin P1 or X1 or others? @ozzy Do you have a Uptone Audio EtherRegen ($650) or Sonore OpticalModule ($300)? I am curious about putting either one of those in front of a Lumin X1 or P1 then using the Fibre input. I was of the opinion that taking Fibre directly from a netw... | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? Thanks. | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? @ljgm How did that comparison of the FrontRow and WyWire Platinum go? I am debating getting a second set of FrontRow or trying the WyWire lineup. | |
| Question about Class A I also had the LSA Voyager 350 GAN (modded by EVS). It is not a Class A sound. It sounds more like a Benchmark AHB2 with more low-end and can go down to 2 Ohms. I sold the LSA Voyager -> Parasound A21+ -> KRELL 175XD (happy with the KRELL). ... | |
| Question about Class A @jay73 You can find a used Parasound A21+ for around $2500. Which is what I paid for it. I traded it in for a KRELL 175XD but the A21+ was very good. [edit] Oops. I did not realize you were referring to the Sudgen . However, have a listen to the... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui That is great to hear that you are at a good place with your gear. I can say the same. | |
| Question about Class A I have 2 Class A amps. The KRELL K-300i integrated and KRELL Duo 175XD stereo amp. The K-300i has the first 90 watts Class A. The 175XD has 175 watts Class A. They are not heavy, not hot, nor do they burn electricity at a high rate. Most importan... | |
| What sounds like a Krell KCT, but better? I have a CODA 07x ($6.5K) preamp and a Benchmark LA4 preamp ($2.5K). I have had a lot of Bryston gear in the past but not the cubed line. The CODA 07x or the cheaper CP preamp is almost certain to be great with the 4B3. I like my LA4 better becau... | |
