| Your Preference: Resolution or Fullness? I don't have to choose. I get both. | |
| choose a DAC to complete my system Like others have said, we need to know what you don't like about your system. If you just want to try something, put a decent copper cable in between your amp and preamp. Its just a guess, but you may like what you hear. | |
| Building a Magnepan System, Please Help... Jrodefeld,After reading your response, I understand what you are saying. I'm not surprised, though. I could have guessed to about 80-90% of what you wrote, almost word for word. Its not that I know so much, but that I've made many of the same mist... | |
| Building a Magnepan System, Please Help... After reading your post, I can give you 1 piece of advice. If you start buying a system like this without listening to any of the equipment, you're crazy. Especially the Magnepans. People either love them or hate them. I know this sounds negative,... | |
| NAD M2 "Protection ,right channel short" "I had noticed the imaging had started to move left previous to the shutdown" That's because when the right channel went into protection mode power was reduced to that channel. Since the left channel didn't go into protection, it was putting out m... | |
| Best to connect both dac and analog to one amp The situation gives you a really good excuse to upgrade your preamp. | |
| What are the purpose of "Tape" and "Rec" preamp ? Its also a nice feature to have even if you don't use a tape player. It allows you to run something like an EQ through your system without it being in the signal path (unless you need to use it). | |
| ARC Vsi60 with KT120 valves - issues I think you now have your amp set up right, like it is now. The 6550 is a much nicer sounding tube (in my opinion). I think the KT120's are a bit more powerful, but you don't need that with your speakers. | |
| Power Amp recommendations Minorl makes a good point. If you have any local dealers, I would see what they have to offer. I lot of people complain about dealers, but most of the ones I know, are more than willing to bring equipment out to a customers house and set it up for... | |
| Reverse Phase Preamp with HT Bypass I wouldn't be concerned. The difference between in phase and out of phase, is very small and very difficult to hear. Honestly, it took me a long time using revealing equipment to actually figure out what the difference was. And I could only do it ... | |
| Your top 3 worst purchases ever Isochronism,"Maybe I was just plain lucky or perhaps delushioned into thinking that it actually does sound good :)"I was going to say that if it sounds good then it is good. It really can't be an illusion. But now I find that delushioned isn't a w... | |
| Power Amp recommendations "Buying an amp is a greatly misunderstood process, even among some audiophiles."What's so hard about buying an amp? I walk into the store, pick one out, and pay for it. It couldn't be easier. | |
| What amplifier to get for Vandy 1 C's A Creek 5350 is a really good match fur the 1C's. That would be my first choice without spending too much. If you can afford an Ayre CX-7, that would be even better. As far as using your NAD as a preamp, I don't think that would be the best move. ... | |
| Nagra VPA 845 tubes on Wilson Audio Sopias.. It will probably be OK, but you still need try them in your system first, just to be sure. I have a pair of Cub's and drive them with a VAC 30/30 (32 watts/chnl). Its a great match. Still, the Sophia's are a bigger speaker and you may have to play... | |
| How much to pay for a Record ? Waste of money. He could have bought a pretty nice set of cables for that much. |
