    Big Balls

    All my headphones just grew some pretty big balls with my WA7 upgrade to a PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Integrated amp.  Quarter volume and twice as loud as I have ever listened to any of them before with tons of solid and tight bass just punching me left and right non stop.  Feel like i'm in a...

    Need amp to drive mini maggies

    Am replacing my Paradigm MilleniaOne desktop system with some mini maggies and am in need of a small but sweet singe ended 50-100 watt per channel amplifier to drive them with the only real requirement being that it fits in a space of 13" wide x 9" height x 14" deep.  It will be driven by a D100...

    Need Active Tube-Based High-Quality Line-Level Pre-Amp

    The output of my D100 drives both a large McIntosh powered amp which goes to maggies and also drives via pre-amp line level (rca) outs a couple set of Paradigm Millenia One powered speakers.  Problem is at the D100 pre-amp line level out needed for the maggies the line level out is under-driving...

    Portable spectrum analyzer?

    I just installed a new sub amp and sub in my car and would like to dial it in to help flatten and extend the low end without adding uneven boom.  What I would like is a small portable device (or app?) that just shows the frequency graph accurately while I play white noise and make the adjustment...

    El Capitan Public Beta USB Issue

    Just throwing this out there to see if anyone else has tried the latest El Capitan Public Beta and is having any problems with their USB audio devices as a result of it?  For example since the upgrade my McIntosh D100 is dropping 1 second of audio every 15 seconds as connected through an Anker...

    What's it worth?

    Here's a simple and purely hypothetical question for everyone...   How much would you be willing to spend to have your entire music collection replaced by 100% HD tracks (not necessarily from HDtrack) assuming they were authentically mastered from the originals in any 96/24 lossless format...

    American Boy Distortion

    Purchased American Boy from iTunes store and it appears to have a huge amount of Bass distortion which pulls the whole spectrum down with it... Is it a bad track or does my amp need an upgrade?  Same distortion with both HeadRoom Ultra + T1 or LCD-X or WA7.  Great song but sounds like crap...

    McIntosh D100 Headphone Wattage

    'High Drive' is a nice marketing term but tells me nothing about the output power of the McIntosh D100.  Fortunately a dealer forwarded these numbers to me...   Here are some approximate numbers for the Hi-Drive HP output   6.7VRMS into 300 ohm. ==> .15 Watts 4VRMS into 47 ohm. ==> .34...

    Spotify

    Just a shout out about Spotify.  Anyone else use it here?  I just started exploring it and with the premium membership am extremely impressed with the sound quality.   Diversity, ease of use, ubiquity, economy, and unbelievable quality from a streaming service.  I'm hooked!  Any other hi-fi-ers...

    HDtracks 96khz/24bit and iTunes/iMatch/iCloud

    Now that I have upgraded my entire desktop and headphone audio setup to include externals DAC/Amp I decided to get serious about the source music itself.  I have always just listened to my 44/16 CD rips and iTunes matched files up until today.  I just purchased my first 96/24 tunes: the entire...

    Portable Airplay DAC?

    Since the answer to a portable DAC for the iPhone seems to be a bulky host mode USB device and all iPhones support lossless Airplay over wifi the obvious question is where are all the portable Airplay DAC/Amps?  Would love to drop the wires completely and get something small for my iPhone that...

    Paradigm Anyone?

    T1 vs T5p

    Have had the T5p for some time and always loved the sound and clarity.  Ordered the T1 to go with my new WA7 (if it ever gets here) and so in the meantime I been comparing the T1 and T5p on the same amp, a HeadRoom Ultra Desktop Amp, a very clean and strong solid state amp.  T1 using the medium...

    XM6 + OPA627?

    I love my XM6 with the OPA134 and buffers in it but I was interested in upgrading the op-amp to the best I can get and came across this thread (http://tangentsoft.net/audio/opamps.html) where the guy compares all sorts of op-amps and is pretty convinced OPA627 is the top gun. Price is not a...

    Headphones augmented

    Listening to my T5p's tonight at my computer with my AudioEngine desktops (A2 + S8 through a W3) off of course and the idea just struck me like a cast iron pan.  Is there any way to get my macbook to also output to the S8 while I listen to my headphones?  Of course I don't need the mids or highs...
