| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” A lot of the suggestions I have owned, and I would not consider them a good replacement for tubes, except 1 which may have not been mentioned. I can recommend the item but with a huge caveat. It is an incredible sounding Interated. Warm and butte... | |

| Will an Amp change improve my system ? I have 2 Aegir v1's that are going to be my long-term amps for my bright headphones. The amps sound a lot like the KRELL DUO line. Sweet and smooth. So, the person I quoted above is saying the Wotan sound sweat and smooth but even better then the ... | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? @carl292 I am going to being doing something crazy. I carried the 110lb CODA #16 amp into my small office from my Livingroom. The office has a Magnepan Mini system. The Mini sounds better than the Magnepan LRS+ but it is meant for a small room or ... | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? @carl292 I have been looking at the Schitt Wotan mentioned above and have been discussing the amp with owners over at Head-if. They are a lot of Schitt fans there, so I take that bias into consideration. From what was said I am going to order the ... | |
| Neutral preamplifier recommendation $1K new Freya+ is not a neutral preamp. It is even warmer than the Class A Schitt Mjolnir v3 that I have now. I owned the Freya+ at one time. | |
| Neutral preamplifier recommendation $1K new The Topping pre90 has gain issues that may or may not work with your amp. It was awful with all the amps that I had without adjustable gain. The Kara maybe like my Schitt Mjolnir v3. That preamp sounds pretty good, but it is not really a neutral ... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @sls883 I thought the article on the 11 was very interesting. I enjoyed reading a lot of Jeff Fritz's articles. I am assuming you traded in your old amp for the #8 | |
| Parasound vs Coda @sls883 Everyone that I have spoken with about CODA and Doug have nothing but positive comments. I worked with him to resolve an issue with my now sold CODA 07x preamp. I purchased a new 07x when it came out a few years ago. He eventually rebuilt ... | |
| Parasound vs Coda You can get a used #16 around $9k and used #8 for less than $5k. | |
| Parasound vs Coda The CODA #16 is a lot better than the #8. More detail, more power, beautiful Class A sound. I had the #8 v1 and now have the #16. I love the #16 but I am tempted by the SimAudio 761, which sounds a lot different. I may just wait for upgraditis fr... | |
| IS THE WEISS 204 A SUBSTANIAL UPGRADE FRON THE CHORD QUTEST Check schiit yagdrassil Dac they have a 15 day return policy. This is a exceptional dac. It took about 30-days of playing before my Yggi+ OG and LIM sounded great. My Yggi+ OG was at a shootout in Colorado a few weeks ago against the Mola Mola... | |
| Streamer & DAC under $1000? You might try the Matrix mini-i Pro 4. This has amazing streaming options, and the DAC is pretty good as almost all DACs are these days. I owned the prior model. | |
| Recommendation Request: Headphone Amp/DAC combo Schitt Mjolnir v3 preamp ($1200) Class A with headphone amp. I use it as a preamp since my phones are unusual. Schitt Yggi+ LIM ($2200) | Schitt Yggi+ MIB ($2800) | Schitt Gungnir 2 ($1600) The DACs I recommend depend on what your headphones ... | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @signaforce I mentioned the KRELL because someone posted a bit earlier about KRELL and CODA. The price of the AHB2 can be had for about $2.5k or less on USAM. Though you can get a 30--day home trial with Benchmark and some other venders for MSRP. ... |
