| Headphone DAC/Preamps I use an older Nuforce HDP dac/headphone amp. It's an older piece but I love it. It has the larger jack which suits me as I use Sennheiser HD-650 headphones. I would expect using headphones which have the same size plug as the jack on the amp woul... | |
| Amp for a tweeter I was surprised to read you're going to use the J2 for midrange. Why? Because as I was reading your thread I was thinking all along to recommend the M2. I wasn't sure if it had enough power but probably would as you're using the J2. I love the way... | |
| Rowland's new integrated amp I think I'll get one for headphone listening. | |
| Virtual System updating problems. Anyone else? I would anticipate that issues such as this will not occur after the forum upgrade Mofi mentioned goes into effect in a few weeks. Or if any such issues do occur they would be addressed promptly and efficiently. I say that in part because the soft... | |
| Portable DAC compatible w/ iPhone or iPod For the iPhone 6 I guess I'll have to use the converter dongle that connects the old style 30 pin connector to the current Lightening connector. Masi61Yep, I use one with my iphone and works fine. | |
| Portable DAC compatible w/ iPhone or iPod You should look into a used Nuforce Icon ido. Not exactly portable, but it's fairly small, easy to use and sounds like it would fit your needs. The ido has both a digital out for use with a high end dac as well as an adjustable preamp out using th... | |
| I Tunes to my System You may get lots of suggestions on this but the simplest is to get one of these and hook the headphone out from your laptop to a line input on your preamp. This would be akin to running the headphone out from an ipod in to the stereo. | |
| B&K EX-442 Sonata Series Does your amp have a 12V trigger switch on the back? My B&K ST2140 has that switch; I don't know how the switch got pushed but it did once. Took me a few minutes to figure that out when the amp wouldn't come on.Could also be a faulty power swi... | |
| Interesting project started by Michael Fremer Hopefully, Mikey will do a great job on the digital side of the new album. I'd like to hear it. OregonpapaThat's the crux of the biscuit, as Frank Zappa said. The mastering engineer is the one who decides what we can hear from any album. Using an ... | |
| new laser/assembly for Cary 303/300 cdp If this is the CD50 you're referring to, it was mine. I sold it for $350 about six months ago. | |
| new laser/assembly for Cary 303/300 cdp You might try swapping the laser assy into the original drive mechanism that came with the Cary. I have replaced laser these lasers (not SL-710) and they are not difficult. If the original drawer works smoothly, this may be an option. | |
| Tone of Muisc, SF - worst hifi experience. Yours? It's a shame you didn't get to hear the Proacs. The Response 3.8 is a wonderful speaker if you have room for them. | |
| Does anyone else think this I just gave my 18-year-old grandson a pair of Magnepan 1.6s. He loved getting them and stuffing them in his bedroom. It was his mom who said, "those speakers are stupid."In general though, I agree with Taters' premise. | |
| Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers? I'm willing to bet he can speak our language better than you can speak his.Zd542Thanks Zd for saving me the trouble of calling Tarp38 a jerk. | |
| Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers? I have owned two different Dynaudio models: the first pair was the 1.3SE. The best way I can describe them is by telling you I kept turning them down as they irritated my ears.The other pair was the Focus 110s. Much better tone than the more expen... |
