| Pilnius SA-103 vs. Modwright KWA 150SE Ok... I'll start this off then.I have never heard either. I was interested in members opinions, but it seems no one else is. | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? The Pass XA30.5 is my choice, but the Modwright will operate a lot cooler and also sound nice. The Parasound monos are huge and get warm plus do you need that much power? The Pass X250.5 is good up to the 15 watt Class A rating, but then transitio... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? I don't have one, let alone two of them. I would think one of these dealers could do this. I also don't see the risk of "frying" anything by hooking up two line level devices, that reportably have no gain, in series. But, you never know, so whoeve... | |
| Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Noise At first glance I thought this post was about cosmic rays and shielding with foil hats, but to my surprise and immediate realization, I have a noisey frige too! So thank you, and I am gonna get some material as well to isolate the darn thing. | |
| Music Servers-Why so few? The people at Auraliti might not be able to respond to all questions, but the PK90 is a fantastic device that removes all the settings and guesswork from a computer based setup. I have had mine running since September and I love it. It's a small b... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? I would think that if this device is the "real deal" ie not some signal processor that most people like at first, then get tired of; which I am concluding from all the positive posts that it's not; then if one were to hook two in series the sound ... | |
| Help with amplifier choice Hi Al,Yes, I mostly listen to light jazz and vocals. Speakers are 10 feet away and 9 feet apart. I have a lot of hi-res (24-96/192) so I think dynamic range is important. My budget is around 5K. Thanks | |
| Help with amplifier choice Just some opinions please. | |
| Suggestion for Preamp please ???? Look at the Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE. Used about 1400. I realize that's 100 over, but read the 6 Moons review and you just might find that $100. | |
| OPPO BD95 output question Kal is totally correct. The way you want to hook it up, you only need the 93. They are the same unit to that point. I am just adding my 2ยข to re-inforce Kal's comment. | |
| Best tube dac available? If your list isn't long enough there is always the Blacknote DAC30. It has a 4 tube Class A output stage along with 4 coaxial and 2 async. USB inputs. I think the damm thing even has a defeatable digital volume with remote. | |
| Opinions on Wyred 4 Sound ICE amps OK, please keep us posted. | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. Well, I wish you lived near Florida. I own the Cary SLI-80 F1 and have been kicking around the idea to try an XA30.5I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. Anyway good luck, I hear OTL tubes sound great, but my speakers are 4 Ohm 92... | |
| Amplifier current draw/wattage You can get a watt meter at Home Depot for about $20 that will give you a digital readout. It also reports current drawn, voltage, freq. and other cool stuff. I use mine to very accurately read idle watts being used on various equipment. If you pl... | |
