| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? I have not heard the Naim. The McIntosh integrateds will have the typical "Mac" sound. The McIntosh will have slightly mild/laid-back midrange and midbass. The sound is excellent, don't get me wrong, but it is not a resolution monster like your An... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? I had an opportunity to hear a couple systems with Primaluna. For a tube integrated, I actually think they are pretty damn good sound quality. Very good resolution for a tube amp, but I can definitely hear just a bit of the "tube amp sonic signa... | |
| NEW integrated amp from Kinki Studio: EX-M1 - Good enough to replace my Pass Stack?? YES! @nonoise - by the way, in my computer audio system (highly modified DAC and a highly modified RANE stereo line mixer), I am running a combination of Sonic Imagery 994 bipolar op amps and Burson V6 Vivid op amps. The only reason I went with Burson ... | |
| Purchase a receiver or what? need your advice. The Marantz stuff has excellent design and build quality. Very good power supplies and Marantz is the only receiver that has a fully discrete analog output stage. The sound will be very strong and full. However, the Marantz is voiced on the war... | |
| NEW integrated amp from Kinki Studio: EX-M1 - Good enough to replace my Pass Stack?? YES! The Pass Labs XA30.5 is a full Class A amp (to 30 watts). That means it's going to be very warm and rounded. The Pass "Class A" amp is also going to sound very thick in the midrange and midbass. Pass is very neutral and controlled.---I suspect ... | |
| Power help Kost is also contradictory because he is stating "an ideal power supply", which doesn't exist even in the most expensive equipment. The problem is that the audio electronics run half from the internal power supply and half from the incoming A/C c... | |
| Help with DIY dedicated circuit I also recommend an electrician. One of the comments indicated to make sure both of the "HOT" wires to your two new outlets are on the same phase. Your stove ran on "220/240 Volt" which means that, in the United States, the two "HOT" wires are ... | |
| DAC suggestion Please Do you need a DAC with a preamp/volume control? If so, that does limit the choices. | |
| Fidelity Audio -or- Oppomod ? Or ? Didn't we just have a conversation/thread on this already? | |
| Op amp Rolling? I have tried so many different op amps. The OPA627 is nice. The larger format PDIP "BP" version are the best version. The can "AM" versions are just too bright sounding. They are very clean and fast (when using a proper power supply and oscill... | |
| Fuse upgrades? -- 6.3 amp 250v 5X20mm fast blow fuses Another note. I haven't tested the Synergistic BLACK/BLUE fuses. The older SR20 fuse is very clean and fast, but it lacks the high frequency response (so it sounds a little like a Class D amp would).The Synergistic "RED" fuses is about the least ... | |
| Fuse upgrades? -- 6.3 amp 250v 5X20mm fast blow fuses Before we have a zealot coming in and reducing this thread to a troll fight, I will say that fuses are a way to tune your sound. There's no right answer and I have actually used different fuses in different situations to "adjust" the sound.---Suc... | |
| PMC or Proac st RMAF? Saw Proac in one room. Sounded really dry to me, but could have been the electronics. | |
