amp

Hello! I would be very happy if you could help me with a purchase decision. I would like to decide between the Arcam SA30, NAD M10 V3 and the Yamaha RN-1000a. But maybe you have another idea. My setup is too complicated, at least for my wife: Musical Fidelity M3i, Minidsp DDRC24 with Dirac Live...

Hi guys! I'm planning to get the new Goldenear T66 speaker, sensitivity is 91 db. My room is small, but I love to listen loud sometimes. DAC/streamer I am eyeing for is atm a used Lumen T2 or new D3 (dac-streamer), but I am open for suggestions. It can be used too, but should be available in...

I purchased an SMSL A300 Power Amp about 18 months ago for my Rega Planar 1 turntable, using a Rega Fono Mini as a preamp. I’ve had no issues until now. On reconnecting the amp to the preamp after moving my setup I heard a faint pop and my amp powered off. I can see some green light through the...

Hi, As a result of cancer treatment I suffer from hearing loss of different frequencies to various degrees in both ears (up to 50db). Consequently, music and audio sound abnormal and lifeless I desperately wish to listen and to enjoy audio again I am hoping someone can recommend a way to do...

Hi, I use an original JDS Atom amp with an original Topping E30 DAC to drive my HD800S. I haven't had any issues with them for 3-4 years that I've been using this setup now. Recently I read that the Atom didn't have DC protection for headphones or something like that (sorry I am not really good...

What is your Amp and Dac combo that can run any headphones at a reasonable price?

It's a hypex ncore and I want to put it on the side of my desk. Since the ventilation on the top and the bottom of the case I'm not worried about that I just dont know if its just not good for other reasons, maybe the components like capacitors etc need to be upright?

Hi guys, I am stumped now that I have looked everywhere and couldn't find a definitive answer to this situation with my limited knowledge: I have a Denon X1600H and a full suite of in wall speakers already installed. The sub is a Definitive Technology IWsub 10/10. The AVR will be upgraded to a...

Hello, I’m trying to figure out a path forward from my current setup and could use some advice. Currently I run Focal Elegias with Dekoni fenestrated pads powered by a Monolith 124459 (THX ASA 788). I EQ with Oratory’s recommended EQ via Peace, with some little tweaks for a bit more bass...

Greeting everyone, I am having this problem with ear/headphones for years since, where plugging them directly into my PC or any other Phone - is not giving me the satisfaction of Volume, Bass and overall quality in general. I believe it's not a matter of the Handsfree product quality, but rather...

Macbook provided 1.25 volts rms under 150 ohms and 3 volts rms over 150 ohms. However, planar headphones generally have low impedance and sense, regarding that they are hard to drive. The question is how can I get 3 rms with planar headphones like he400se on M2 MacBook pro?

I need to substitute the PSU for my Magni Heresy (15V AC 1.5 A) but on Amazon et similia i can't find a single one that outputs AC, from the Schiit site I can buy it but is like 16 euros for the product and 40 for the worst shipping method. Is needing an AC psu this niche? Any suggestion on...

Mcintosh C30 & MC2205. I have no idea what is right price for these two. They are working perfectly but the bottom one reads STER(EO) (POW)ER. Thanks for all the comments in advance.

This issue has been touched upon but not precisely, when BOTH XLR and RCA outputs are being used simultaneously…. Setup: XLR out (via converter) to RCA monoblocks, short run, AND RCA out to dual subs with independent gain and crossover control. Audible, unmeasured findings seem that once the...

The Front Left output of my Denon AVR-1912 suddenly stopped working. Only a soft rumbling noise can be heard. I suspect my experiment with a B&O Beolab 4000 has something to do with it. I stripped one end of an old RCA cable and connected it to the FL output of the Denon and the RCA to the...

Hello everyone, I have been lurking these forums for quite a while and having read about DACs and AMPs and headphone sensitivity, I decide to buy an E30 II lite and the L30 II to help my HD 650 (maybe some planars in the future if it justifies over HD650 EQ). The reason for this is that while...
