| Which SS integrated amp to choose? ML 585 over the ML 5000 series. I think I liked it more than the Luxman 509x. Though that was 12 months ago, but I do recall thinking the ML 585 was the best integrated I heard.Today, if I were to look at integrateds, I would audition the Hegel 390. | |

| Preamp w/DAC (or Integrated w/DAC) vs. Outboard/External DAC? (Again! Forgive me!) I do not think DAC tech is changing that fast anymore. Streamer tech is for sure.An internal DAC is rather convenient considering the shelf space saved, 1 less set of interconnects and power chord. Maybe even better sound from the internal DACs sh... | |

| Building an AUDIOPHILE friendly PC from scratch so what is a must to consider in 2020? Get a Sonore Rendu streamer and the cheapest retail SILENT computer that will run your music software. If you can make the streamer work on fibre optical network the better. I have a cheap DELL my old company was about to throw out and lower end R... | |
| unman M-900u for Focal Sopras 2 and 3 @dpac996 The audition was done 2 times at Excel Audio in Newport Beach. The room is large and not too bad, though a lot of gear on the sidewalls away from the demo speakers. | |
| unman M-900u for Focal Sopras 2 and 3 Surprising that you did not like the m900 with TAD. The reason I am buying the m900u is because of an audition I had with the m900u+c900u+Luxman DAC ($8K one) + TAD ME1. The best sound I have ever heard from my regular test tracks. I am just getti... | |
| Interesting study I thought I was superior when I drove my Dodge Neon too. | |
| Focal Kanta Sale I saw that too and the Focal Kanta 2 was something that would work amazing in my small room. | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs @jackd Yes the full loaded version. I think it is just a little under $4k. | |
| Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly? @bdp24 Can you post the link to your book. I would like to buy it. | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs @atmasphere What you wrote is very interesting. I would like to have a phone conversation with you when I have the cash to buy. I am inclined to get a SS preamp, but I some flexibility in this choice, maybe get both to have some great combinations... | |
| Smooth sounding integrated <$1k Peachtree NOVA 150. I will be selling mine in a few months since I will be going separates for a lot more $$. However, it is an really good integrated, reliable, smooth, and relatively low cost. Peacthree is having a sale (they always seem to be ... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs Questions to W4S:1. Does the STP-SE preamp support the Balanced XLR AES48 Standard for the 2 XLR outputs? 2. Can I hook up 2 amps to the preamp. I want to use a Benchmark AHB2 amp and a Luxman m900u amp connected to 2 different speaker sets. I w... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs Man I cannot believe I did not remember the Luxman c900u has this dual output XLR feature. I demoed this preamp 2 times too. Getting old.Selects an output mode from the following 3 kinds: unbalanced output, balanced output, and bi-amplifier output... |
