| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? 1. OTL2. Really good switching amps ONLY with linear power supplies. SMP’s will foul up the entire presentation.3. Superior A/B solid state amplifiers | |
| Upgrade to AMR DP-777 SE or look elsewhere Cortese:You wrote:“the usb module of the DP-777 SE is seriously outdated.”Respectfully, that is bunk. The AMR DP-777se is much more advanced than most dacs out there even today, I bought my 777 in 2011 and I still have it because it sounds flat ou... | |
| PS Direct Stream latest firmware, "Snowmass" I just listened to the Direct Stream with Snowmass at a family members home and it was impressive. I’m a big fan of AMR and own a DP 777se, and two custom AMR CD 77.1’s. I love how they sound and compare to my turntables. I recently had a Berkeley... | |
| DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison I have an iFi iDSD PRO and will be writing an in-depth review soon. I compare it to my AMR DP-777se, the AMR CD 77.1 (hot-rod’d with a TDA 1541 double crown dac chip, Jupiter Copper Foil Paper in Wax output caps and Bendix 6900 output tubes), the ... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream JR audiothesis:Two oldies but goodies come to my remeberance, the Museatex Bidat (still have one) and the Wadia 9 Decoding Computer. About the only two dacs that I recall being able to stand up against world class preamps. | |
| Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative? A few years ago an amp builder, speaker and electronics builder sold me some gear. We had a dispute about how he shipped it. He literally got on here and told a lie concerning the transaction. I called him on it and the whole thread mysteriously d... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G essrand:Glad I could offer something to the conversation that you found useful. I did just listen to a SP10R in an Artisan Fidelity plinth with a Schroeder CB1-L arm :) that was quite nice. The bearing only had about 300 hours on it and I’ve found... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Joegator81:No sweat. | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Joegator81:I don’t really have anything against the Kiseki, I just found it a little to soft and warm for my taste. I can definitely see how this cartridge can work in some systems. I think it works well with my buddies rig because his table, the ... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Essrand:I own the AMR DP 777se and owned a SL1200 GAE for two wonderful years. I understand your point, a DP 777/ DP 777 se can make lesser analog rigs a waste of time. I had them both maxed out and ran the following cartridges on the GAE, London ... | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp Tasos1:Just took a look at the back of the Phonos to be sure of the fuse rating. It is a T 1A L250V for a 115v environment. A 230v spec’d Phonos would of course see the fuse current rating drop by half. | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp Tasos1:You’re welcome, if if I recall it is 1A for 120v. | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp Tasos1:You will notice quite a tick up in performance with better fuses in the path, it uses two. I would start out with two AMR fuses as they are inexpensive (and the second best I’ve heard). I had the Synergistic Blues but found them a bit hyped... | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp Lewm:If you can’t hear the difference a better circuit conduit makes while carrying the entire electrical signal then by all means keep the stock fuse. I also believe interconnects and power cords that carry electrical power make a difference, a H... | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp My AMR is for the Ortofon MC Anna, the Luxman is for the ART 1000, Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 and Myajima Zero. The Phonos is for the London Reference. Sometimes I mix it up with the Anna sticking strictly to the AMR.I’m planning to add the new Ana Mi... |
