| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video @blackbag20 I just spent the last 1.5 hours clearing out the boxes. I kept 3, the CODA #16 amp, Magnum Dynalab MD108T tuner, and KEF KC62 sub (this was a problematic piece in the past but good so far). The MD 108T will need calibrating in about a ... | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video @bigtwin You should have used @bigwin for you name | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video I am going to throw out all the cardboard boxes I have for my audio gear. The hard one will be the speaker boxes. | |
| USED pre-amp + amplifier combo for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 around or under 2000? A Peachtree GAN400 (I sold one for $1100 recently) would work nicely with that Schitt Mjolnir. I should add this this new Schiit preamp is much better than the Freya+ that I had before. | |
| USED pre-amp + amplifier combo for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 around or under 2000? A Toppping pre90 ($700). Supper neutral and hardly works with many amps (too much GAIN). Normally would not recommend this preamp but you need it under $2k and paired with a warm amp such as a used Paraound A21 ($1500) (with adjustable GAIN) will ... | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? I say no based on experience with the Sonore OpticalRendu and the 'audiophile' power supply and audiophile cable they sell for a lot more money (not power cord) I compared this audiophile variant vs 2 other standard OpticalRendu's. I was not able ... | |
| Not selling Cardas cables online again, just wanted to share..... Sorry to hear this. I recently got ripped off on a purchase via Head-fi, by user fakcior I should have been more suspicious. However, I had used PayPal. I made an online claim with PayPal and they approved a refund immediately. I think the money ... | |
| Digital input amp I tried streaming to the GAN1 using fibre via a Lumin X1 and also a Sonore OpticalRendu. I controlled all of this via ROON. Not simple for someone new to digital but I have a lot of experience with streaming and software. The GAN1 (modded) with t... | |
| Best set-up under $20K I concur on the NS5000. I choose it over Vivid, Magico, and KEF Blade. Though the Blade would have made me equally happy. I use a CODA #16 ($9k used) but did consider the Schitt TYR and Benchmark AHB2 for them. The monos were under consideration ... | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. Back to Schitt again. This new preamp from them is the best I have heard from them (including Freya+). Schiit Audio: Audio Products Designed and Built in Texas and California MJOLNIR 3 CLASS A HEADPHONE AMP & PREAMP As a headphone amp it f... | |
| Digital input amp The GAN1 (after mods by tweakaudio.com) approaches levels that are shocking for $1200 + 500 mods. Send me a DM if you want to discuss more. The reason being the nature of the GAN1 design. It is SIMPLE. | |
| Speaker recommendations :-) @lammjunkie Since you are in Croatia why not try the RAAL SR1a + TI-1b adapter box + Lamm gear. It will be a pleasant diversion from 2-channel speakers. Chances are you will keep them even when you get your next speakers. | |
| SimAudio Moon North Collection @overthemoon Shelleys in Woodland Hills CA, my local dealer is trying to sell their demo 860A V2. They have a 861 coming in. http://www.shelleysstereo.com/ | |
| Tower Speakers Close to Back Wall @flyfish77 Your room is a bit bigger than mine but I have 25-foot ceiling. Everyone told me that my speakers should not be too close to the front wall. I have them only 17 inches from the wall to the back of the speaker. The speaker has 12-inch wo... | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. Since we are excluding Shitt I will add that I got the new https://www.schiit.com/products/mjolnir-3 preamp/headphone amp. It has to mostly work as a preamp to my Schitt Aegir amp and then into my headphones. The integrated headphone output wil... |
