| DAC /pre Advise NEEDED urgently I am having same struggle. Throw out the pre-amp and go straight from dac to amp with some passive pre-amp or volume control (outboard) I'm not sure i would trust the volume control in a DAC | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts Have to throw this one in. Saw Return to Forever and Zappa plays Zappa at the Beacon in NYC this year, and it was sick. Return to Forever was just amazing. I never realized how crazy Stanley Clarke is on bass. | |
| pre-amp vs dac straight to amps anyone try this channel island VPC-3 Passive controller for volume out of DAC? I am concerned that going from a DAC to class D amps (also Channel Islands) will sound to digital? I had liked to believe my tube pre-amp was warming sound? | |
| Just starting out what is issue with active pre-amp? thanks | |
| Class A amps or Class D??: Which sounds better?? Not sure why we can't get along. Haha. I changed out a good a/b amp to class D and have no regrets. Love the sound. Still feel the top end is way more important I like the combo of great d/a with tube pre amp and class d on bottom. | |
| Tube Pre-Amp for Class D amps thanks all so much to date, this is good stuff and many pre's i've heard of | |

| Starting Out in PC Audio I'm planning on powered speakers. | |
| Power Conditioner Assistance the monster is humming, also lately if i turn on a lamp in the same room as rig, you hear it in the speakers, should the unit not stop it? plus monster has hard wired power cord to wall i would rather have a aftermarket (signal cable) thanks all | |
| Power Conditioner Assistance thanks for all the great response. Most of these items are very expensive, i was trying to stay in the 400 range (hence my initial product list) are they not good? where are torus sold?thanks all | |
