| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? @chinook9 I owned and compared the CSiB from Sept 2020 (not as good as yours) with CODA #8, KRELL K-300i, KRELL Duo 175XD, Benchmark AHB2(s), Parasound A21+, D-Sonic something, NAD M22 V2, and LSA Voyager 350 GAN (modded) If you really want to ge... | |
| Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s If that guy does not spill the beans, then I doubt anyone else will since I am under the belief that he was the inventor of the iBias circuit. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The difference between the pe90 and LA4 are not that great when the pre90 works as intended. The following reviewer put them head-to-head. Topping Pre90 + Ext90 Review - Pre-amp my Power-amp! (soundnews.net) For me, I hated the fact that the pre... | |
| Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s @clearthinker Did you watch the video I posted? I think that answers the initial question you posed on this thread. | |
| Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s KRELL is going to release a uber XD amp around Christmas time, KSA 400i. It will be an iBias amp with some new enhancements. It is supposed to be better than the base XD amps. Which makes it a must listen for me. The 2 base XD amps I have owned ha... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I have had the Freya+, Pre90, Coda 07x and Benchmark LA4. My fav is the LA4 though the 07x has dual XLR outputs and I use one of those to my sub. The CODA preamp sounded the best with the sub. It maybe a gain thing with XLR. The pre90 does not wo... | |
| Life As I knew in My Audio World Has Ended, Help @larsman He got in really good shape. | |
| Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s That baloney works pretty good on the new XD lineup. I currently have the KRELL 175XD stereo and it is supposed to be 175 watts in Class A. Though that max power in Class A is only available when demanded. Thus, the unit is not heavy and nor very... | |
| Essay bashing Primedia, Stereophile - and Audiogon If it were not for Audiogon, I would not have spent anything close to what I have on my system. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns I wrrote a blurb last night identifying my Benchmark DAC3B as the cause of my streaming gremlins. After a few hours of listening and unplugging and plugging in devices I came to the conclusion that my Benchmark DAC3B is working perfectly. It ... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Transport by Airplane - Checked or Hand Luggage Here are the speakers in question. That MSRP price is in Canadian dollars. Crazy price for a monitor but I wanted to get the big brother, NS5000, for a bigger room. However, now that I am getting something else for the bigger room, the NS3000 + K... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Transport by Airplane - Checked or Hand Luggage What Can I Bring? All | Transportation Security Administration (tsa.gov) Carry On Bags: Yes Checked Bags: Yes | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Transport by Airplane - Checked or Hand Luggage I was thinking of all of the above. I will figure this out when the time comes to buy. I now know it is possible to fly them home. I did read today about the chaos at YYZ (Toronto airport) as they come out of the pandemic. Sounded worse then LAX. | |
| Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes. If you are looking for an amp for the Freya+. They I would not get anything warm like a PASS. I went with the Benchmark AHB2 + Freya+. It was a really good match and what you will hear is the Freya+. The AHB2 adds nothing. A cheaper variant of th... | |
| Condolenances to The Siau Family I didn’t recognize the name immediately. OMG. I am in shock. Benchmark’s VP and Chief Designer, John Siau, is his brother? David was his son and his daughter of 18 months was of course the grand-daughter. I emailed David a few times 2 years ag... |
