| Thinking Out Loud @oldhvymec, @jtcf, I have a Parasound zphono usb that I’m not using. THAT could be the phono stage to use into the Freya? 😳 | |
| Thinking Out Loud I was confused when I posted about needing dac to play vinyl. I have a Denon DP-300f turntable and a number of records that I do play. The Denon has a switch that it calls an “equalizer” that is turned off when the TT is plugged into the preamp ph... | |

| A MEMBER IN NEED OF SUPPORT To david_ten: Sorry to hear of the ordeal you have all been going through down there. Thankfully, you are all alive, and the rest can be rebuilt. Take care. | |
| One box do it all I have never heard this, but before I decided to spend more on separates, I considered this receiver by Outlaw:https://www.cnet.com/tech/home-entertainment/outlaw-audio-rr-2160-the-audiophile-choice-for-stereo-r...It puts out 110W per channel and ... | |
| So where should the tubes be? I was on another forum and a guy that identified himself as honcho at Bob Carver company stated that the place to start with tubes is the amplifier. This was different than the opinions of many here that the preamp is the place to start with tube... | |
| What is wrong with my system? I don’t know if anyone else is like me, but the more I spend on something, the more I question whether it is really better. Say, if I was over at a friend’s house and he was playing his $5,000 system, and then I go back to my (only in my dreams) ... | |
| Parasound Preamp I’m considering buying a Schiit Freya tube preamp as an option to the P5 I now use with an A21 amp. I am curious about that “tube sound” others talk about. | |
| Loudest Sound Ever? As I have gotten older, I have less tolerance for very loud music. At a rock concert, I have been known to pack my ears with cotton so that I can enjoy the music without grimacing in pain. At home, my listening level is low-to-medium — definitel... | |
| Gryphon Mephisto An obsession — yes! I am no youngster myself — 66 — but I only really got interested in quality audio since early 2020. So, a baby yet. I can imagine if you have had nice professions and really good income over the years, you are positioned to ... | |
| Gryphon Mephisto Reading threads like this shows me, yet again, just how vast the range of people are that are involved in higher end audio. Ten thousand dollars for an audio system is like buying an 8 year old Miata and saying you are a sports car enthusiast. S... | |
| How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power? The responses above vary so much between “the power utility will do nothing so long as you have electric service” to “the power company will really help you with testing and equipment changes to arrive at a high quality of electric service.” So,... | |
| WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST? “Now That Weren’t Not a Family”, by Canadian singer Lisa Brokop.In the mid-90’s, I had gone through a painful divorce and then I heard this song — It tore me up.https://youtu.be/2kx4edfl3GY | |
| Average Price Spent for Speakers I don’t know what to call myself — the equipment I purchased since January 2020 is definitely higher than mass market, but the $8,000 or so total is much less than the $20,000 and up that some here have invested for their total system. Not to men... | |
| SLOT LOADING CD MECHANISMS - DO THE DAMAGE CD'S? I bought the Audiolab 6000CDT a few months ago, after doing a bit of research on-line. The reviews were good and I saw no concerns expressed regarding the slot loading mechanism. The only other slot loader I have used is in my Honda and, yes, th... |
