| Schiit Mani vs Atoll P200SE Phono Preamp I guess in this circle anything under $2K is considered entry level... But that aside, if you decide on the Schiit Mani, go the extra mile and get a Swagman linear power supply for $125 and you'll have great sounding preamp with enough flexibility... | |
| New Klipsch Conwalls (IV) I seriously considered the Heresy III but ultimately decided on the Omega SAMs. My main issue with the Heresy was its neither a standmount nor a floorstander and I just couldn't figure out how to make it work in my room with the furniture, etc., g... | |
| How do you buy / sell such heavy things like speakers over the web? Local sale. Unless the (heavy) component is priced well below the market value, the shipping could cost more than what its worth to the potential buyer. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Preamp = emotionless? "...if this pair is well matched..then.. the addition of an active preamp will likely be degrading. Ok, will inescapably be degrading."I have nowhere near the hands-on experience you have to disagree with this statement but I think this is true if... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp rocray, thanks for the feedback. I think I'll try this combo as well just to see what difference it makes in my system. My Unlimited is paired with an older version of Aric's SE KT88 amplifier and upstream I have a LamizatOr Amber tube DAC. Lots o... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Preamp = emotionless? The published 256 ohm output impedance is most probably measured at 1KHz and can be (and most likely is) much higher as the frequency response varies during actual music playback. A 10K input impedance is lower than average for a solid state ampli... | |
| Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d What speakers will they be driving? | |
| "Matching" of dual triode tubes - how close? There are actually two questions; balanced triodes in a single tube and balanced tubes, and the need for either in a preamp depends on how and where they are used in the circuit. | |
| Trust Schiit Loki "...low level evening listening it just gives that little bit of extra bass in the evening."This is an appealing usecase. Do you have it installed between your preamp and the power amp? Also, do you find boosting the 20Hz signal blend well with yo... | |
| Remote Balance Control: on Tube Integrated Amp? I know for a fact that the ARC GSi75 has a remote balance control. | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp Thanks Aric. Let's see how this works out in rocray's system, depending on his upstream/downstream components but in my current system which includes mostly tube electronics both upstream and downstream of the preamp, a more "laid back" presentati... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp I’m also very curious to hear how the 5U4GB and 0C3/0D3 combo will sound as compared to the 5AR4 and 0D3/0D3 arrangement. Please report back. I’m currently running a Tung-Sol 5AR4 (vs. the stock Sovtek) and a pair of NOS GE 0D3s. Couldn’t really t... | |
| Magico V3 "...just heard the Magico 6 on YT,,,what a crappy speaker..."Very smart, evaluating speakers by listening to them on Youtube...!!!??? | |
| Lamzator Amber 2 DAC If you notice, there are production date labels affixed along the cover and the chassis which will break if you remove the cover. If you bought the unit new, you might compromise your warranty if the labels are not intact. I personally would only ... | |
| Kanta 3 positioning Answer is easy; try them both ways and see/hear which one sounds better to you... |
