| New Adcom 👀585 SE. anybody heard this monster What?  Adcom changed the landscape because their Nelson Pass designed amps were the equal or better than your Nad level gear of the mid 80’s.  For much less.I have been able to contact Adcom when needed and suspect the above poster just didn’t fi... | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. My M1 cables( traded in a year later) we’re not very impressive in my system.  Simply not keepers, and it was apparent that Morrow had them in the line up as a gateway drug, a cheap entrance into his products.perhaps they do better with tube compo... | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. I’ve purchased several MA cables over the last few years. The MA 1.1, MA3 and 5, the latter 2 ordered with the Eichmann bullets. I bought 2 pairs of the MA5 with the bullets, and they were not cheap. Now I hear that Morrow has scrapped the silver ... | |
| Audioquest Red River vs. Big Sur interconnects I've been adding Audioquest cables to my rig, NRG 3 and 4, Sydney RCA interconnects, and the latest is the Mackenzie XLR IC's for pre to amp(which I've yet to install as rig is temporarily packed away).Anyway, a big help for me was a multi cable c... | |
| Opinions on these budget integrateds? I moved from Parasound Halo P7/A21 to Nad C375/Bee(long story), then back to Parasound. Â Nad makes nice gear for the price, but the Parasound Halo stuff is superior. Â But if one has PSB speakers, Nad may be all you need as they are designed for ea... | |
| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to apply the "fanboy" moniker to anyone here, but I'm sure we could all agree that fanboys of schiit audio exist.Since I referenced a few things I don't like about Schiit, I'll mention some that get a thumbs up fr... | |
| Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace Mcreyn, if you only have a few hours on the Freya, I'd suggest that you put at least 30-40 hours on it before passing judgement. Â I had a Saga, and it did improve vs its out-of-the-box sound. Â The Adcom may end up being superior, it was quite the ... | |
| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? Wolf, I realize that there are work-arounds, and one can magic mark the LEDs or buy a device that turns on the Schiit gear, for instance. Â There are ways to get the result you want, but I guess my thought is more towards Schiit's approach to thing... | |
| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? What’s a real drag for me on the Vidar ( and all of Schiit’s stuff) is the power switch around back.  Leaning in, reaching around and groping with your fingers is not user friendly, no matter what fanboys may say.  And leaving the amp on 24/7 will... | |
| Emotiva XPA5 Gen 1 Rar, Looks like you got your post in just before I made the post about Parasound.i can’t comment on class D, but great point on the Onkyo as pre, it would become the weak link for sure.  | |
| Emotiva XPA5 Gen 1 I think Parasound would be a good fit with Klipsch, you can even get the 275 model which has about 90 watts per channel. Â They can be had for under 400 used for sure. Â But the 2125 or A23 are solid options.im not sure if that Onkyo has pre outs fo... | |
| Schiit not shipping Interesting wolf, I couldn’t get any depth out of the Saga no matter what I tried, where as with the Parasound P5 in the same exact system it was present when recordings had it. Perhaps the Freya is indeed better in this regard than the Saga.  But... | |
| Schiit not shipping Hopefully the wait is almost over for those waiting for their orders. Â I feel for customers as I was waiting for a Freya before I gave up and bought the Saga as mentioned above. Â From what I understand, the heating up economy is causing shortages ... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Tweak, it sounds like you are getting to the kind of sound you’re after and that’s a win in my book!The Hattor has looks that are a little off putting for me.  A lot of good audio products are coming out of Eastern Europe these days.I would say th... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? I feel like people are going to get the wrong impression of the P 5.  First of all, it’s not the lowest in Parasound’s lineup, that would be from their mini Z Custom line.  Next up is the Classic 2100 pre.  Then, sitting at the mid way point is th... |
