| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs @dr_joe That is some out of the box thinking. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AvocetIIa--crane-song-avocet-iia http://www.cranesong.com/Avocet_PAR.pdf Do you do streaming from Tidal or Qobuz. If so how do you do it into this DAC? Is ... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 I mentioned to smodtactical that I thought it would be an upgrade from 4B-SST to 14B-SST2 for 2 reasons. 1) The SST line is a little coarse on top. I owned 4B-SST, PowerPac 300, and 7B-SST for many years with various speakers, I know Bryston. The ... | |
| Luxman m-900u owners - quick question @4425 What about a more neutral and quieter preamp, instead of the Luxman c900u, such as the Benchmark LA4 or Mola Mola Makua preamp. It is not so much a question of funds for me but the issue of number of boxes in limited space. I heard the c900... | |
| Linn Klimax DSM The DAC technology comes in different flavors as well with the new Katalyst being the best. This is all I am saying. @photomax what is inaccurate about my post.Actually I got a lot of my info on the other Linn units from HiF Wigwam for which I ... | |
| Linn Klimax DSM I have heard the Linn Select DSM with the upgraded DAC. I believe this DAC is now the best in the Linn lineup. I liked the DAC quite a bit and I considered the Selekt for a DSP enabled preamp. However, the Linn was not ROON READY and they are a li... | |

| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @jtgofish What gear have you tried with your NS5000's. | |
| Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Strata, Integrated Amp/DAC/streamer? If we are going to diverge on this thread about Purefi. I will add that Computer Audiophile has a great interview with the Purefi team. The thing that caught my eye was Bruno's quote that the goal of the company was too to remove a zero from the ... | |
| Audioquest Hurricane vs Cardas Clear Beyond vs Audience SX power cables Audio Bacon is doing a lot of cable reviews lately. Take a look around his site or even email the main guy, Jay. https://audiobacon.net/category/cables/power-cables/ | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @smodtactical I have previously considered the Hegel 590 or 390 since I have demoed the 360 and top end monoblocks with KEF Blades and thought it was very good, not as good as the Luxman, but something I could be very happy with long term. https:/... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @georgehifi Thanks for the heads up on the Sound Stage review. I was thinking of also getting the Benchmark AHB2 to mix and match with the Luxman m900u on the NS5000 and KEF LS50 that I will have in the same room. The NS5000 + AHB2 could be a bad ... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @smodtactical What gear did Markus use to demo the NS 5000?My demo had the new Yamaha separates at $10K each. I sounded very good and they are only 100W @ Ohmn. https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/hifi_components/m-5000/index.html This... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @georgehifi I am surprised that you would think a warmish amp is need with the NS5000. I heard these with the latest Yamaha separates and thought the system sounded warm. I was thinking something a little more neutral would also work.Saying that I... | |
