| Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade? I'm also curious about this. I've read the multibit calms the hot high characteristics. I actually placed an order for the Guby to mate with my Mjolner2 which I really like but I canceled the order after a long wait for "back-ordered parts to come... | |

| What's The Big Deal About Battery Powered Preamps? Mitch, good question. I'm running a dac and integrated amp off a 12v car battery and the experience has been nothing short of an audio revelation. My source is a laptop which I run off the battery so the whole system is off the grid. The amp can o... | |
| Advice re: Entry level CD Player My first player was a Rega Planet 2000. It took me a couple upgrades before I got back to that level of enjoyment. | |
| Longest Advisable Speaker Cable Runs? I'll look into both those options. The Bent Audio Attenuator may be a bit to ambitious-I'm not much of a DIYer but I'll check it out. I'll also look to Sjogn for a Supra Cable recommendation and price quote. You guys are awesome. Thanks for all th... | |
| Opting for no CDP -- only to regret it? Even better yet, buy a SACD player with a digital input. Go squeezebox to the players input to avoid buying a stand alone dac. Money saved. | |
| Longest Advisable Speaker Cable Runs? Ok that's some great info. I'll look around for shielded Low & capacitance, but not extremely low. I'll also check for ratings less than or around 150 pf. I bet that will help other members in the future as they reference the blogs. I looked a... | |

| Longest Advisable Speaker Cable Runs? Byfo, The amp is an integrated with no remote, this is why I'd like it closer to my listening position-a shorter walk. It's interesting to know that Interconnects may be a better long run option for future reference.Clio09, what is it about those ... | |
| Opting for no CDP -- only to regret it? Howard, Buy a CD transport!! Stop torturing yourself. There's so many for sale here on Audiogon. I'd recommend a half size transport like I've seen from Stello, Bel Canto or the like. Plug the transport to your DAC (If you want SACD playback you'l... | |
| Longest Advisable Speaker Cable Runs? Thanks guys for the replies. I've heard the baby packs a good punch-it's a tube amp and mine is class AB solid. The amp is an Altmann BYOB and speakers are modified Klipschorns with Volti Horns and Beyma drivers. Being Khorns, the far speaker is w... | |
| Longest Advisable Speaker Cable Runs? More specifically, what's the longest run of speaker cables I can run off a 10 wpc amp without loosing sound quality? | |
| Review: Tyler Acoustics Decade 1 (D1) Speaker I've been considering the Tylers for some time now. The only speaker you had before the Tylers that I'm familiar with are the Dyn S5.4. How would you describe the differences between that and the D1?Thanks, Dave | |
| Headphones integrateds with XLR preouts? Rex, I currently have the MA Audio Q40 headphone set. I like it but may spring for an upgrade depending on how they sound after I get new amplification. Roscoeiii, thanks and I'll be mindful of the continuing progress in Dacs. I might just pick up... | |
| Headphones integrateds with XLR preouts? Jed, my budget is 500 to 1k. The DNA is pretty close on price and it looks very nice indeed but I need a unit with the preamp, amp and DAC. I forgot that minor detail!! I was considering a Benchmark Dac1 or a tubed MusicHall Dac as they both have ... |
