| DAC Dilemma My Benchmark DAC3B is a favorite of mine. I have no complaints about it. However, a friend who also owns it and has a musicians background tells me that it sounds lean because it does not have much bottom end. I do not see it that way but do see a... | |
| Is The FM tuner obsolete? I got a Magnum Dynalab MD108T last week. I upgraded from a MD102. I have a great local station that actually sounds good and plays the most incredible music. A lot of stuff I have never heard before. I listen a minimum of 3 hours a day to FM (9AM ... | |
| Krell K 300i Vs Hegel 390 Help The KRELL K-300i is fantastic. Going to go listen to it now in bed since it is my over the top headphone amp for my RAAL SR1a headphones. It was amazing on my floor standers but I cannot use an integrated amp in that setup. I could not get myself ... | |
| Coda continuum 8 @lancelock You misunderstood my post. You already sent them years ago (for free) but I never used them until today. I do see my grammar was not that clear. | |
| Coda continuum 8 @lancelock Congrats, that really was a great deal. A couple of issues to look for. There was some source bleed issues on a small set of preamps. Including mine which was built around April or May 2021 (not really a big deal). There is supposedly a... | |
| How important is the pre-amp? A preamp is a must for me. Even if I used a DAC with volume control for streaming. I also have other sources, tuner, SACD.My Benchmark LA4 preamp is a perfect preamp in that it has no sound to it. It costs $2K and it is a great bargain. Read the r... | |
| Class A into Class AB I find the Class A amps that I have owned smoother sounding than AB amp that I have owned. The CODA CSiB is a good integrated amp. I had Version 1 with the most Class A watts. I still own the KRELL K-300i integrated which does not put out a lot of... | |
| Thiel Owners @thieliste I did not get a price for that since it did not need replacing. | |
| Coda continuum 8 BTW - on this site there is a CODA #8 and a brand new 07x for sale (not mine). US Audio Mart America's Newest Online Hifi, Audio & Home Theater Classifieds | |
| Thiel Owners @thieliste The COAX, with mid and tweet, was $500 from Rob G. He also provides a really good solder to help attach the COAX to the speaker. I am not sure if Rob sells individual tweeters. He did say to repair my tweeter was around $250.There were ... | |
| DAC Dilemma The Benchmark DAC3 HGC is a good DAC but not that great as a preamp, I used it that way in the past. There is a reason Benchmark makes the LA4 and HPA4 preamp. These preamps will make the DAC3 sound better.I doubt you would be happy with the Bench... | |
| Coda continuum 8 @lancelock I remember your adventures with the #16. It was one reason I wanted to hear it. My 07x had some hiss issues and the dealers 07x was almost silent. So they took it back to send to CODA. My LA4 is my baseline for silence and the 07x comes... | |
| who makes your fav cable loom in 2021? I recently got some WyWire interconnects after buying the WyWire Platinum headphone XLR. Alex at WyWire seems to know his stuff when it comes to wires. I think he is doing a 40% off because it is a big company anniversary.My other cables are Audie... | |
| Coda continuum 8 I did a shootout with a modded LSA Voyager 350 GAN | CODA #8 | KRELL K-300i. They all had attributes that could make someone go for any of them depending on preferences.The Voyager was detailed, a bit warm, and not as powerful as the other 2, thou... | |
| Need a new FM Receiver that works very well I just got a great Magnum Dynalab MD108T. Wow, does it sound good on my incredible local station, KCRW.com (on FM). I was able to trade in my MD102 and that was the reason I went for the MD108T.I suggest you look at something like a used MD102 or... |
