| Possibly dumb question: can I use two cable runs for each channel, not bi-wired? sure you can, but the question I have is why? | |
| Better tubes than factory installed tubes on the Rogue Audio Perseus Magnum Preamplifier When I owned Rogue gear I spoke to Mark at Rogue to discuss the rest of my system. I wound up going with some NOS tubes Mark recommended. Never felt the need to go with other tubes.Give Mark a call - he may have some suggestions | |
| Anyone have the Pass Labs X260.8 amps? Opinions? FWIW, I used to own a CJ 17LS2 Premier preamp. I now have a Pass XP20 preamp. The XP 20 is the finest preamp I've ever owned. I did own a different Pass pre many moons ago too, and that one was just ok. Pass pre's have come a very long wayi pair t... | |
| Considering buying a CD transport Sim Audio Neo 260D is an excellent transport and fits in your price range. Cables between the transport and DAC make a difference. Many advocate with an extremely short digital IC or if that's not doable, then at least 1.5 m. Also note that ther B... | |
| Am I the only one to opt-out on the Sopra 2's? I listened to the Sopra 2's last fall. I expected from all I read to be blown away. Didn't care for them one bit. Utterly disappointed. I liked the Sopra 1's, Wilson Sabrina, and Revel Studio 2's. Bought the Revels. I could have been happy with t... | |

| For Old Timers who experienced the "Golden Age" of Audio of the 60s and 70s. How about the early to mid 60's Radio Shack catalogs? Macintosh, AR, Scott, Gerrard, etc., were all in their at one tine or another. Hard to believe you could buy Macintosh electronics, AR speakers, and a Gerrard 301 all from Radio Shack. Far cry ... | |
| Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs I'm guesstimating that if we include the phono preamp, my entire TT setup is pretty much what my speakers with speakers cables are priced at assuming MSRP. Bless the Maker that I paid nowhere near MSRP. | |
| For Old Timers who experienced the "Golden Age" of Audio of the 60s and 70s. My experience is that vintage equipment varies a great deal. For the most part, 40 to 50 year old turntables are rarely competitive, but there are some exceptions. 40-50 year old arms are almost always not with the postage to mail it to you, and f... | |
| Just entered the world of high resolution audio Oregonpapa,I appreciate your suggestion- I think I do have an adequate turntable/arm/cartridge setup. I do go to garage sales, used record stores and thrift shops. IMO, used record stores are the worst because they are inordinately pricey. I've do... | |
| Seems I'm really done! Davidpritchard said- "I hope you will trial the Synergistic Research Black fuse in your Bricasti DAC and a Synergistic Research A/C wall outlet."My M1 has a circuit breaker, and I'm already running a good outlet. FWIW, I did a software update on m... | |
| Just entered the world of high resolution audio Thank you for the multitude of suggestion- any difference what format I do downloads? A friend strongly suggested WAV. I am using a MacBook Pro into a Bricasti M1 | |
| Seems I'm really done! I'm sitting in a very comfortable chair, listening to an LP though my system, and for the life of me there truly is nothing o would change. I've got full and broad frequency response, nuance, image specificity, depth and width, dynamics. There tru... | |
| Buying Without Audition You got to hear speakers! the only speakers I ever bought without audition was a $50 a pair of speakers that I bought for a basement workout room. No matter what you've read, remember, think ice cream shop. Lots of different flavors. Not everyone ... | |
| Negotiating when buying demo and used speakers from a dealer Of course negotiate. Last year I bought a pair of demo speakers from an authorized dealer at a substantial discount off of list price. Literally, over $8000 under list price. Make an offer and the worst the seller can say is no- |
