    Good spkr pairing for a Marantz 2230?

    Hello!   You should probably take a look at the old JBL Speakers. I own a Marantz 2220BL which fits perfectly with my 1970's JBL L26 speakers, bass and mids are great, and highs are good too with rock music, a real pleasure. They might be a bit too big for your needs, but they're a real...

    iBasso DB1 vs. DACMagic vs. other balanced DAC <$300

    Hi, and thanks for your answer!   I completely missed this DAC! It looks very interesting, the reviews are nice! But sadly I couldn't find any comparison with the DB1, so if someone could compare the two, I'm interested in this too!   Thanks,   ANtoine

    iBasso DB1 vs. DACMagic vs. other balanced DAC <$300

    Hello,   Noone has compared the CA Dacmagic to the DB1/DB2? I know it's a weird comparison, but since I don't care about portability, I'm wondering if the DB1 can compare sonically to the Dacmagic.   Thanks!   Antoine

    Grado

    Hi!   I'm the friend of Steph who let him listen to my Grado SR80i. We both definitely love it, and I finally bought a pair of HF2's, that I enjoy more than ever. The problem is the really desappointing foreign policy of Grado. Maybe I'm too young, and can't understand the benefits of...

    Hello,   I have a question about the MSSH schematic, especially where the red circle is. In my build, I have all the four wires directly connected to the pin of the switch, one to each mofset, one to C1, and one to R13. Is that right? The  schematic makes a differences between the wires, I...
