| Modwright LS36.5 gain adjustment I had the previous Modwright pre-amp and the gain was too much for my system. I sent it back to Dan Wright and he modified the volume for me. He was very nice about it and we spoke several times on the phone. It did modify the volume but between m... | |
| Favorite High-Resolution Tube DAC? I am not as experienced with multiple trials of DACs as others here, but I love my Eastern Electric Tube DAC. It has AES, BNC, COAX, Optical, and USB, Sabre 9018 chip, tubed output, volume control. No remote. $750. | |
| best class a amp for a grand? Would Tube Audio Designs Hibachi monoblocks make the list? | |
| HELP with MAC MINI and PS DIgital III DAC I agree 100% with Johsti. That was my exact rig until recently and it solved the hi-rez issue and the sound was really wonderful. For $100 used the Hiface is a steal. | |
| Who is using their receiver as a preamp only? I have had good luck using my Onkyo 805 for HT and separate monoblocks. I then upgraded to a preamp with HT pass through for watching movies. | |

| Review: M2Tech USB - SPDIF conv Hiface 192 DA converter I have tried both and with the Eastern Electric Tube DAC using the 9018 chip it is hard to tell the difference, but there is a difference. The EE DAC accepts the optical input but once I started using the BNC M2Tech Hiface, it just sounded better.... | |
| SS amps for VSA VR4jr I am using Bel Canto class D amps and love them | |
| New Oppo BDP-95 better than the McIntosh MVP-881? Personally I love watching the "high-end" manufacturers try to pass off their equipment as state of the art. Some went into the professional home theater installation game, following the stereo stores that were struggling to survive. That is the o... | |
| Success Rolling Opamps in EE Minimax DAC Doug, firstly thanks for your article. Indeed that is an inexpensive upgrade. However, I am confused. The eastern Electric Minimax DAC I recent purchased (and love) has a tubed output. The pictured DAC is also tubed. Have you bypassed the tubed ou... | |
