| I’m getting a hum in my integrated tube amp and it’s bugging me alot Not an expert, but you may have some DC on your line. You might try one of these: https://avahifi.com/products/humdinger-dc-line-blocker There are other options, this one is fairly inexpensive. | |
| A reasonably priced DAC upgrade from Schiit Gumby +1 on the multibit upgrade, it was a significant improvement for my system. | |
| A reasonably priced DAC upgrade from Schiit Gumby I have the Gungnir with the multibit upgrade, are you saying yours does not have that upgrade? | |
| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? +1 for Blue Jeans, it is a great place to start. | |
| Nad M33 or something better That is a nice set of speakers! I have the LS50's and love the sound of them, I am guessing the Ref 3's are spectacular. Having gone through some upgrades in amplification with my KEF's, I would say that you could find some significant improvement... | |
| Have you upgraded from a Freya? Thanks for the feedback folks. @ozzy62 Beautiful piece of gear that Hattor, and very attractive pricing. I could not find any specs, specifically output impedance, on the site. Given it is passive, that would figure heavily into any decision. I t... | |
| Have you upgraded from a Freya? Following up as promised. I am really enjoying the Benchmark LA4, it is quiet, exceedingly neutral, offers great detail and is good for low volume listening. But of course I want more! "Exceedingly neutral" might be the highest compliment for prea... | |
| CODA amp No.8, Bryston 4B3, or Ayre VX-5 Twenty Excellent choice. | |

| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice Do you have one you would recommend for my current system and sound goals? I am deeply ashamed (not really) admit that the best one I have heard to date was a Neardost from AliExpress. I had used two or three other cables before that, but when ... | |
| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice SPDIF cable is not high or mid end based on recommendation of the customer technical support person i purchased from. He said it was a waste of money to spend more there. It sounds like you have done your homework on the DAC and it is to your... | |
| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice Nice system. I think I know what you are looking for sound-wise, I am a jazz listener and it is my goal as well. I don't have any hard answers, but a few things come to mind. - Your DAC reviews well, but have you tried anything else? Maybe an R2R... | |
| Speaker cables recomendation for Luxman L509X / Dynaudio Contour 30i @soix +1 I recently took his advice and upgraded to some AZ Satori’s. After trying many speaker cables, I found what I was looking for with the AZ’s. | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... Maybe a Coda #16 with meters? | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation BTW, the Satori’s are OCC copper, which will make some people happy, me included. Not sure of their geometric cross-sectional shape, but I am assuming they are circular, and not polygonal. |
