| Why whole house surge protectors are not enough I installed a Siemens whole house surge protector, and my gear is all plugged into n Emotiva CMX-6, which I am not sure provides surge protection. The amp is plugged into the wall which is a direct line to the breaker box. What do people recommend... | |
| Speaker for constellation audio I understand the small town thing. Playing at that level I think it might be a worthwhile investment to attend an audio show where you can get at least a rough feel for the sound of various speakers on your list and maybe add some more. From there... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? When using an external DAC, isn’t a CD player really just a streamer? In my experience, streamers vary significantly in their performance and are affected by noise and jitter. I have doubts that fancy transports make a difference, they are just re... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? @jasonbourne71 I find myself agreeing with you today. This is new. 😀 Off the top of my head: Kind of Blue Allman Bros - Fillmore East Dead - Europe 72 - Bickershaw Festival | |
| Need Advice on Amplifiers Going from one of the best measuring solid state amps to a tube amp, I am not surprised that you have lost some definition. Given that you have a tube preamp, it might make sense to go back to solid state with your power amp. Your speakers are fai... | |

| Things To make Schiit freya + a even better preamplifier Not sure that took. | |
| Things To make Schiit freya + a even better preamplifier Way ahead of you 😀. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Trampled by Turtles at Red Rocks. | |
| Things To make Schiit freya + a even better preamplifier I’d be happy if they just improved the ergonomics so you could see where the volume is at and what the LED’s actually mean. 😀 | |
| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio @lubachl Can anyone comment on their experience with Chinese "Odin" interconnect cables in comparison to those described above. I have two sets of these connecting DAC to Pre and Pre to Amp. They replaced Belden 1800F (BJC). I cannot say I no... | |
| Have you upgraded from a Freya? Trigger pulled. I shall report back. | |
| Have you upgraded from a Freya? @yyzsantabarbara Thanks, it sounds like the LA4 is what I am looking for and I will take the next step. | |
| Have you upgraded from a Freya? @chenry Agreed the ergonomics are not so great on the Freya. I have "enhanced" the volume knob so that I can see the setting from more than a couple feet away. I tend to have mine on all day and use the buffered mode for that reason. The temperatu... | |
| Have you upgraded from a Freya? @dain Thanks! I will check that one out. I only have a single source as well, but as we know a good preamp makes all the difference. |
