| Manley Chinook or Any comparable Preamp? Eastern Elecric Phono | |
| Triode wire or audio quest Cool. Just curious what components you are using with the TWLs? Ive found the TWLs sound good with Bel Canto Class D DAC and amps, the SPDIF tames my SimAudio CDP upper frequencies, and the ICs mate really well with Zu Audio speakers. I haven’t t... | |
| System Cable Upgrade Recommendation Bf, It looks like you got excited and pull the trigger on the bluejeans cables. Bluejeans a good starting place for your system but certainly not end game cable material even for your system. I’ve tried Blue Jeans too, and I know you can do better... | |
| Triode wire or audio quest I vote for TWLs, having the -SPDIF/BNC digi, pair of RCA ICs, pair of XLR ICs, and a "digital american" power cord that I use on my transport to tame the top end digital glare. But ...... if I had a really flat sounding system, I would probably go... | |
| USB vs SPDIF, which sounds better? Since cables sound different in different systems based on synergy, I would say:1. If you compare AU24SE USB, only compare to an AU24SE SPDIF, and an AU24SE XLR. 2. IMO, SPDIF is the most reliable in most situations, out of the 4 (USB, SPDIF, XLR,... | |
| Which Amp to complete my system? definitely tubes with Klipsch horns. And Although the Pass Labs Amps are some of the best SS imitators of tubes, IMO, Pass amp still will not do u justice.The PSA BHK 250 would be too much power for easy-to-Drive-Klipsch horns. The Sonic Frontiers... | |
| Manley Chinook or Any comparable Preamp? I have to go down to the USPS to pick up my Chinook Special addition Mark II, that I bought from Upscale Audio in California. The owner of upscale, Kevin deal, really loves the Manley Chinook. So much so, that he worked out a deal with Manley to c... | |
| My first Tube Amplifier first was a hybrid integrated was a BAT tube pre of 6h30s, my first "real" quality amplifier. the problem was that I was driving Klipsch. The pair of Dali Helicons fixed that, and I could finally see what he BAT could really do.I sold the BAT aft... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? Cool. The PS Audio should rock and rhyme with many amps out there! | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? I’ve had the PL Dial Prem HP, great piece but too hot for my non-AC place in CA. So I’ve gone Class D with the Bel Canto DAC/Pre 3.7 into the BC Ref600 monos. BC made tube amps for 20 years, and started switching over to Class D in the 90s. The po... | |
| Pathos Logos I’ve had a few severe volume knob issues over the years from shipping and regular use. Whether from shipping or regular use, the system that holds the knob in place from the INSIDE of the amp untightens, gets loose, gets knocked around over time. ... | |
| Music Server - The Search Begins @soundsrealaudio- which Melco model do you have ? I'm seriously considering the Melco N1A Mk2, for around $2500. The amount of detail they put into the engineering to reduce noise is admirable. Any glitches with using outside Apps like Tidal ? or ... | |
| Going Tidal, Need ??? Some server/streaming BASICS ... 1. I subscribe to Tidal, but this is a "wired" system, meaning that you can either play the tunes from the App directly from your PC/phone/table. But if you want to send the Tidal tunes from your PC to your extern... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? @cd318 I hear ya. I latched onto Tempest about 6 months ago, after reminiscing with Bob on his Americana "Triplicate" album. The dark nature, but beautiful brutality of Tempest had me enamored for a good 2 months. But I hear ya, and thats why I on... | |
| The Truth about Modern Class D @pinthriftI would have to agree, "with knowledgeable friends using NCore amps, great sound is available using Class D...with a little work and great cost effectiveness. Good power, dedicated lines, upgraded outlet(s) good wire can approach world ... |
