| Pre + Amplifier Recommendation I completly understand the comments of using my own ears, and appreciate how something like audio can bring about two completely polar opposite opinions on the same subject since this is such a qualitative hobby. That said I value the opinions of ... | |
| Recommend a Tube Pre & SS Amp Combo Wow, thanks for the input so far and to answer some questions asked:Lloyd - You articulated exactly what I am after with "tonality". I have been reading up as much as possible on SS amps and have never come across a recommendation for bolder, will... | |
| Cary 805 vs Viva Solista Hi Mohano,I have the SLI 80 that you said has passed through your system. Can you tell me a bit about how you would say it compares to your 805?A am contemplating my next upgrade and wonder how much of a jump the Cary 805 is from the SLI 80. Thank... | |
| Cary SLI-80 Thoughts? I also have and love this amp (with treasure tubes). Highly recommended. Not meaning to high jack this thread, can any recommend what an upgrade from this amp would be in terms of a new unit or separates? I am starting to day dream a bit about the... | |
| Is an amp the next upgrade path for me? Advice... I thought I would chime in as I have owned similar equipment to you: I have a set of PSB image 4T (older version of your imagine set), squeeze box touch (make sure you are feeding non compressed files) and a axiom EP500 sub. I started with a Sony ... | |

| Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch Hello, I have the W4S DAC 2 with the SB touch and love the combo, preferred it to the Rega DAC and Havana DAC in my system (both the Rega and MHDT are still great units).Running through S/PDIF..... | |
| Could Monarchy DIP Combo improve my Logitech Touch Rapogee,I had the DIP combo inline between the Duet and a Havana DAC and could not tell much of a difference. When I replaced the Duet with the Touch I did a bit of A/B'ing with the DIP combo in then out of the chain and again I could not pick up ... | |
| Internet Radio sounds better than ripped CDs. Why Guys,I have the same experience in that Radio Paradise (radio station) sounds better than my ripped CD collection (WAV) through my squeezebox. Drives me nuts. I have checked everything, I have ripped CD's with I-tunes into WAV files, tried FLAC wi... | |
| Squeezebox Duet DAC vs Rotel From my experience, the DAC in my NAD was preferable to that in the squeeze box. The NAD had a smoother more enjoyable sound, though the Duet had a bit more detail at the expensive of harshness.On a side note, I love my Duet - it is easily the bes... |
