Suggestion for best stereo amp ? I think you'd like a Bryson 4B cubed or a top-of-the-line Pass Labs. They're powerful and nuanced and have superb dynamic balance excellent timbre and a velvety smooth transparency across scales. They like good cables, and they'll make those Wilso... | |
Inexpensive tablet well suited as a control point for my streamers, including Sony Many thanks to those who were so helpful. I'm a putz when it comes to anything the least bit techie, but I've finally got an iPad Mini to work smoothly for both. Thanks all! | |

Replace HDD in Sony HAP Z1ES with an SSD Or Lagavulin 16? So much scotch, so little time. | |
Replace HDD in Sony HAP Z1ES with an SSD Just say the word.. | |
Replace HDD in Sony HAP Z1ES with an SSD I had to speak to a colleague who's an engineer (I teach Liberal Arts, meaning I'm clueless). He said firmware likely limits the amount of real estate the HAP Z1ES will recognize - though that is a generality, not specific to any particular app. H... | |
Replace HDD in Sony HAP Z1ES with an SSD Thanks for your help. As it turned out, I had the work done by Modwright with their upgrades. I can barely bring myself to turn it off! | |

Preamp under $2,000 used I will, in a few days, have an Audible Illusions modulus 3a pre for sale. $1,800.00, new tubes, cosmetically perfect. This is a giant killer, just superb and a very good phono section. | |
UK to US step up/down voltage converter My local audio shop have consented to convert the DAC to 110 for a reasonable price. Happy ending! Thank you very much for your help. | |
UK to US step up/down voltage converter I'm using a UK DAC (Cambridge Audio Azur 851D) with a hard-wired line cord; that's fit with a Schuko plug. The DAC will be powered from an Audioquest NRG 10 cord plugged into a Furman line conditioner. So the step device needs to accept the male S... | |
Hum problem I had this with an Audible Illusions modulus 3a pre. The tech fellow I hired could find no explanation. I used a DAC direct to power amp for about 3 Mos. One day I tried the preamp and the hum was gone. My neighbor was big into ham radio. He had m... | |

Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? If you can find a Logitech Transport, buy it, with one caveat; mine is a bit rachitic - two seperate power-supply problems. It sounds very, very good, it's attractive and it's versatile. Mine runs a QNAP NAS with 2.2 Terabytes of music through an ... |
