| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 I’m using a JJ 243 preamp with my Pass Labs XA30.8 and really like it. | |
| How do you get Happy as an Audiophile? That’s easy. I sit down and listen to music. | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC I use a Topping DAC with my Node 2i. It definitely makes a difference. | |
| Streaming 102 I stream a Bluesound Node 2i with a Topping D70 DAC using Qobuz. Really like it. I could spend more on a streamer and DAC and it might sound better than CDs or vinyl, but I’ve spent enough and that’s good enough for me. | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? I get what you’re asking. But it’s close to impossible to answer. If it sounds good to your ears then it’s good. You can listen to other systems in other rooms and it will surely sound different. But is it better? Possibly but the only way to tell... | |
| Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps? I’m using a JJ 243 tube pre amp with a Pass Labs XA30.8 and like it very much. | |
| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system Any song from Yellow Toy | |
| Jazz for aficionados Gotta go with anything from Keith Jarrett (especially with Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette). | |
| Matching solid state amps with tube based pre amps I’m running a Pass Labs XA30.8 with a JJ 243 tube preamp and love the combo. | |
| Contact Dennis Had? I tried contacting him a few months ago without any luck. Went through his eBay page. | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear If you buy based on looks alone, are you a true audiophile? | |
| CD Player Recommendations… I just ordered the Rega Apollo. Great reviews. | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality I’ve been comparing quite a bit lately. My ears tell me the story. CD beats steaming (even high res) 9 out of 10 times. | |
| The best tube poweramp. . What do you think about ? I recently bought a JJ 243 tube preamp and love it. The phono stage is amazing. | |
| Which Tube Phono Pre Amo? My pre "amo" (sorry - couldn't resist) is a JJ 243 tube preamp. Fantastic preamp with a great phono stage. The phono stage has several input impedance and capacitance loading options for MM and MC cartridges. |
