| Preamp recommendations for my system please To my favorite poster on this thread. Thanks for the comic relief. Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Black Friday sale started today and my order placed on 11/11/2021 is going to get delivered on Dec 1st. A bit slow this time but it is the busy season for shipments. | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please @amplifierdude My digital is actually excellent read some of my posts on the subject to likely learn some things. I have been with ROON even before they released the first product and use almost every feature on it. I also setup (for $$) ROON base... | |
| Headphones vs full range speakers @b_limo I must disagree on post #1. I used to think the same way. Even when I had my Meze Empy headphones I thought it was good but not 2 channel good. The RAAL is really 2 channel for me. I also listen to the RAAL every day. The great thing is ... | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please Ditch everything but 1 DAC, signup for Roon and Qobuz. Done. Welcome to 2021. Not very enlightened. I already have both ROON and Qobuz. Along with on air FM access to one of the best radio stations in the world on an incredible tuner. This stat... | |
| Headphones vs full range speakers @mofojo I hate headphones. However, the RAAL SR1a ’earphones’ are some of the best 2 channel sound I have ever heard. Just to go crazy and make them sound good I bought the following gear to make them sound good: - CODA 07x preamp (office) - Par... | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD @joesolek Thanks, it looks like the A5 is a contender for my living room since it is similar to yours but with 20+ foot ceiling. I will download the manual. | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please Preamps are obsolete with today's technology Ok New World Man. How do I connect my 2 DACs, tuner, and SACD player to my amp? | |
| Bryston Preamps - What do they sound like? Just had to comment on what someone said about the BP17 and the Topping pre90. These 2 are just not in the same ballpark, the Topping pre is for a nice computer setup in the office. Also maybe the system he listens to them sounds "thin" to begin ... | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please Benchmark LA4 for wire with gain so that the preamp disappears. CODA 07x SS preamp for a bit of tube sound. | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD @joesolek Can you tell us more about your setup? I am interested in the A5 and want to know more about the ideal room size (or volume) for them. How about placement issues? Since they are sealed I am assuming you can place them closer to the front... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @arafiq Most people are not ready for fibre yet. This stuff is pretty complicated for a lot of people. I helped someone setup a streaming system for an audio show recently and they had no idea about all the parts needed. Nor should they have to as... | |
| Bryston Preamps - What do they sound like? I had a BP-20 with MPS-2 power supply. My current Topping pre90 ($600) and Benchmark LA4 ($2600) are of similar sonic character. That is a very neutral sound. However, the Topping and Benchmark are much better and newer. They are essential noisele... | |
| Desk top speakers at low cost If you have not tried RAAL SR1a 'earphones' then it is worh trying out. I hate headphones and these are like 2 channel sound. On sale in November. True Ribbon Headphones & Amplifiers | RAAL-requisite (raalrequisite.com) BTW - putting speaker... | |
| Questions about Ethernet Cabling @cakyol I understand the 1 and 0’s in streaming, inclduing wifi. The issue I raise is the power supplies and other noisy elements that people say (I am a believer) add noise to an Ethernet network and that noise propagates up to the network connec... |
