| Ayre Codex dac and headphone connections question Ah. I suspect you are correct. That must be why Moon audio sells wire with two 1/8" amp ends. This makes total sense and sure makes it more convenient to attach and listen to headphones. Thank you, Mark. | |
| Do female audiophiles exist +1 for Terri Inman and the rest of the crew at Stereotypes. Terri knows her stuff. Great sense of humor too. | |
| Does my laptop need to be grounded when charging? Thank you, George. I will try a different one and see if it is better. | |
| Does my laptop need to be grounded when charging? I tried flipping the polarity on the charger plug and no difference. I already own a Regen and was considering the ISO Regen upgrade or move to the Intona. Was hoping other Codex owners would chime in before I spend the additional $$. | |
| Does my laptop need to be grounded when charging? Thank you, Erik. Yes, my dac already employs "galvanic isolation to the outputs" but not really sure if this means I shouldn't be concerned about noise coming into the dac. Some of these isolators are inexpensive while others such as the Intona ... | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? I'm not a musician but I love music. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It doesn't matter which music moves us as much as the fact that it does. I enjoy the GD, I connect with their music. But every time I listen to BW "God only knows" I am... | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? This was a fun thread to peruse. Anyone mention Electrocompaniet or Superphon? Think these were around in the '80s. | |
| Help my Rotel RCD 1072 make music JohnnyR, I am auditioning the Codex now and am very impressed with it It is dynamic, musical, revealing, and just plain fun when listening to music I thought I knew well. What an overachiever. Not quite as impressed with the toslink as I am wit... | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? One of my daughters went to the "U" and the other U Dub. Agree that Madison is a bad place for adults ;-)@jafant: ultra fidelis in mke. | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? The upper Midwest rocks. Plus I'm a sucker for blonde haired blue eyed women. Hope I don't have to issue an apology if not politically correct. | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? Just thought I would jump in and share my Maggie experience. I started with the MG-1C in 1984. Moved to the 2.6R with the true ribbon tweeter. Most of the idiosyncratic characteristics mentioned above are true. But once you invest the time in ... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? What jea48 said. I just didn't want to be an accomplice if you touched the wrong place with your screwdriver. Let us know what the solution was. | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? I once had a subwoofer that had an internal hum. It was actually more of a very faint buzz, but audible when it was quiet. The manufacturer of the sub acknowledged that some of their transformers were noisier than others and they sent me some pa... | |
| Help my Rotel RCD 1072 make music Johnnyr, thanks for the recommendation. Since I need a toslink and USB input, and balanced outs, the codex seems like a perfect match for my needs. I am anxious to try it. Thanks again. | |
| Ayre owners and preamp options: seeking advice That there is nothing out there regarding Ayre mods speaks volumes about the quality of Hansen's designs and overall satisfaction of owners of Ayre equipment. Guess I answered one of my own questions. |
