Hello to everyone. This is a review and test of the Linn Exotik multichannel preamplifier. It was released in 2004 and cost about $3,250 at the time. A new version having a marginally modified main printed circuit board (PCB) was released in 2007. A version with an optional digital input...

Hello to everyone. This is a review and test of the Vincent SAV-C1 multichannel preamplifier and homecinema processor. It was released in 2003 and cost about $2,300 at the time. A new version having a marginally modified main printed circuit board (PCB) and an added steel plate behind the front...

I currently have some ordinary cheap xlr cables tied to my Cyrus phono pre amplifier and McIntosh 7200 Amplifier, will a high quality xlr cable improve the sound?

Hi! Need your help. Trying to find a dac for my arcam avr 300 + ae radiance 1. Already tried fiio k13 r2r (garbage), aune x8 with different op amps including burson v7 (maybe it'd be ok for another system, but with my it lacks bass, texture and resolution), audio alchemy dac-in-the-box (more...

My first real post on here but I'll save my life story for another time. Short version: Reviews and discussions here helped me upgrade every aspect of my audio life, and it's been great! Upgrading my parents setup on a budget. The setup: TV toslink into SMSL DAC into a Fosi Amplifer w/remote...

Hi, ASR, I'm hoping some of you can offer guidance/advice on mixing amps that have different power outputs (80W, 200W, 500W) in a single system. Please forgive me for not using technical terminology correctly -- or if I've overlooked a guide in the forum/other posts. Please also forgive the...

Hello everyone, since at the time I couldn't find pictures of this DAC with a headphone amplifier, I'm attaching some images for anyone who is interested and curious to see it in detail. https://audioengineeu.com/product_tech_specs/d1-32-bit-dac-headphone-amp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006IPH5H2

Hi, i'm new in those things, this circuit would work well for converting balanced or unbalanced audio from condenser mics to a fully differential balanced signal? the balanced output is meant to be plugged to a mixer or interface TRS input. the 20uF caps are solid polymer ones on anode to anode...

Before getting serious about my office pc sound, I just ran everything through my Mackie mixer and into an amp or powered speaker. I loved the ability to play multiple sources at once and never really having to switch inputs. I then switched to running everything into my Yamaha receiver and...

Hey everyone, I'm considering getting Audio Analogue Bellini MK II (it's around 25 years old now) and I wanted to hear your thoughts. I've searched the group but couldn’t find any posts or discussions about it — maybe I missed something, but figured I’d ask directly. Has anyone here owned or...

Imagine an interesting new product: Two sets of analog inputs (when I say sets, I mean each set has single-ended and also balanced), one volume attenuator that controls output synchronously BY WAY OF TWO SETS OF SYNCHRONIZED RESISTOR LADDERS (analog-domain attenuation, not digital) between the...

I want to use the Bru5 as a Poweramp to run my rear surrounds through analog run off of a Rotel preamp. I have Canton Plus S 4ohm mini bookshelf speakers which I feel will match up perfect with the Bru5. Is anyone using the Bru5 as a separate off a preamp??? Since I'm ordering from AliExpress I...

Most DACs put out 2V as a standard. Why so high? This makes sense if we want to play at maximum volume, but with most power amps, we only want to play at 5-66% of max, and we rarely use more than 20 watts. To produce 100W into 8 ohms with eg 23 db of gain we need 2V. But if we wanted to play...

Hello. This is my first post on ASR and I want to congratulate the forum, an inexhaustible source of knowledge. My question is that I have bought a second-hand Schiit Freya S, which I have not yet received, and I plan to connect it to a Hugo Chord TT2 for a setup that will include a Boxem Arthur...

Hi, I’m researching for my brother. He is looking for a preamplifier for 2.1 channel system. He is using a newly purchased vintage McIntosh amplifier, plays music in FLAC via USB from laptop. Budget less than $1700 Must have: Remote volume control Digital I/O’s Tone controls Well...

If Emotiva made something like the PT2 Pre-amp for desktop users at a lower price, I think it would be well received. Remove the phono input. Remove the HT bypass. Could even remove an analog input or two. Keep the variable low-pass and high-pass bass management. (This is what products are...

It has served me well, but I've grown tired of my current crossover. Today, I noticed that I hadn't listened to music in weeks, and when that happens I usually suspect something amiss in my rig that is keeping me away from sour. I noticed two woofers on the left channel were not really...

Hello, I am currently in the process of digitizing a lot of older (1950's & earlier) media to archive online. We are starting with vinyl (33 1/3 & 45) and 78s. We do not have any record players that are capable of playing 78s currently, so we were looking to buy a 3-speed turntable with a...

I've looked at the photos and read the specs, but don't see a way to connect a WiiM Ultra to a PC via USB. I see the USB port for media sticks, but nothing that says it's suitable for PC connection. Was hoping to consider this as a digital preamp with bass management and room correction to...
