Unity gain with tube buffer?
hey pubul57,the sound with the 0dB or 12dB setting is awesome but for my system, i do not need the extra gain and vinnie recommended that if i don't need it, use 0dB. some power amps do not have much gain, so using the 12dB setting is needed in or... 
Unity gain with tube buffer?
my Red Wine Audio Isabella tube preamp has a switchthat allows it to run on 0dB or 12dB. in 0dB it is a tube buffer because it is not adding voltage gain. it is a seriously good sounding battery tube preamp and my version has the built in isabelli...

good DAC , recommend plz and your reason?
like Mrjstark, I own the RWA Isabella with Isabellina dac and I agree - it sounds the least "digital" and just sounds real and effortless and much more like vinyl. sorry I am not the best at describing how audio equipment makes me feel. I saw this...

Integrateds: Warm sounding SS vs Hybrid
i'll echo jwarmbrand and brawny's suggestions - Red Wine Audio Signature 30.2, and it comes with a remote. you don't even need a hybrid as it already sounds like a fine tube amp but with the bass weight and articulation of the best solid state gea...

Red Wine Audio Isabella

Red Wine Audio Isabella
hey mariusz,thank you!hey viper_z,i was able to try the modwright LS36.5 but it wasnt for me. RWA Isabella was much more musical and spacious and 'effortless' like mariusz says. it was designed to be a perfect match with the Signature 30.2 so that... 
Red Wine Audio Isabella
