I share with this post a review of the vintage Threshold FET Ten/e High Level preamplifier. This is a thirty years old model, built in the late 1980s by the legendary Nelson Pass and considered a reference by many sources. I tried to discover why, via measurements in different working conditions...

Hi! I'm thinking of buying a new microphone(Røde Podmic. This one) which has an XLR connection, it's a dynamic mic, I was told this is the mic to go for if there's background noise etc in the room. I'm just going to use it for communication while gaming. Today I have a USB microphone(Thronmax...

Does anyone is using The pro-ject pre box s2 analog as analog switch between 2 sources? Since it is pretty affordable (249€) and has a remote control, I am thinking about it to easily switch between an home cinema set-up (AVR) and a hifi set-up (DAC with volume control). Specs seem to be pretty...

I'll be using it/them with my gaming PC and a pair of Edifier Studio R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers and Sennheisers HD 600 First I'd like to know if it's better to get a DAC/Headphone Amp combo or separate ones. I don't use my headphones pretty much for comfortabilty reasons, I always use my...

I currently have a Sound BlasterX AE-5 in my gaming PC and I'm thinking about if it's worth it to replace my sound card with an external DAC and headphone amp or DAC/headphone amp combo to get a better sound quality.

Audio Buffer – unity gain link stage/headphone amp with ultimate output drive capability I have been using a similar circuit in measuring instruments for HV tests since 1980's and later decided to use it for audio, for its excellent output drive capabilities. I described the reasons in my web...

Currently, I'm using an Anthem MRX300 receiver as a preamp, outputting to some Marantz MA500 monoblock amps. I use this for both movies and music, but it really isn't cutting it for music. I've now read enough threads & tests on this site that agree with what I'm hearing - that most AVRs are...

I know that there is a massive price difference between the two, so the comparison should be quite unfair. However both meet my needs for a combined DAC/Preamp with balanced outputs and a remote. Has anyone heard both of these, and can comment if there is such a huge audible difference between...

Another potential Chromecast Audio replacement, should they ever become completely unobtainable. However, this one supports AirPlay, DLNA, Bluetooth, the ability to play from an attached USB drive, and has an optical output, in addition to having Chromecast Built-in... :D...

Hi I have a question about DBX 386. The drive knob on the 1st channel doesn't react. I just connect my mic or guitar and the knob doesn't add any gain. Is there a solution? Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody!:) Currently I am considering the Pass Labs XP-20 or the Pass Labs XP-12 preamp as an upgrade to my Primare PRE30, and badly in need for your recommendations, dear experts, as the actual auditioning is not in the cards for me, unfortunately enough. I wish to use the preamp...

Hallo, my father recently bought a primare a32 amplifier and is searching now for an preamp to it. We asked around what would be best and got 3 answers, the original preamp bundled with our amplifier, Vincent pre amp and Yamaha wxc-50. Since all these products have different price tags. My...

Hello I am new here. I am looking into buying a new phono preamp in the sub 200E category. I read a lot about all the important technical considerations and I am quite annoyed that companies specify their products with different metrics (I noticed that gain can be specified in at least three...
