    Millett Hybrid Minimax in very good condition. Functions perfectly. I bought it from the builder on this site several years ago. Comes with a beefy Triad power supply and three sets of tubes. I only ever used the 12AF6's besides testing the other pairs for functionality, and even the F's didn't...

    DAP as stereo component: Basic questions/suggestions

    Yes, meant M9/11 and not E. Thanks for your detailed reply and for making me aware of yet another option! I have some homework to do for sure.

    DAP as stereo component: Basic questions/suggestions

    Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll have to study the various parts of your solution, but breaking up the process makes a lot of sense.

    DAP as stereo component: Basic questions/suggestions

    Hi, all, I am entirely new to the world of digital audio players. I have done some searching but I don't talk the talk and am not quite sure what is easy/assumed and what is not. So I'm asking you nice folks for a little help. What I'd like is a DAP that I can just rip all of my CDs to and...

    Mac OSX/Schiit Modi/USB3.0

    I actually resolved the issue, but I just wanted to follow up in case anybody else encounters a similar problem: I borrowed a (non-powered) USB 2.0 hub and connected Mac -> powered 3.0 hub -> 2.0 hub -> Modi Now the Mac recognizes the Modi and everything is working as designed. Thanks for...

    Mac OSX/Schiit Modi/USB3.0

    Thank you for the reply! I should have mentioned all this. Yes, I swapped out the cable for one that's working on a printer. It doesn't work with the hub bypassed either, which is not surprising, since without the hub I was having trouble before (but I still tried it). I contacted Schiit, who...

    Mac OSX/Schiit Modi/USB3.0

    Hi, everyone, I am sorry to be posting this, because I'm sure this wisdom is recorded somewhere here or elsewhere, but believe me, I've looked. I have an iMac (2014) and trying to use a first-gen Schiit Modi DAC with it. At first it would usually work, though sometimes the DAC would not show...

    Bravo Audio - funny looking little tube amps

    I had a similar problem and it was the power supply. Contact the seller; they're pretty good to deal with.

    Bravo Audio - funny looking little tube amps

    Thanks, geetarman, for a thoughtful response. I sorta had upgraditis anyway, so I guess I'll pass that one along to a friend with higher-impedance cans.

    Bravo Audio - funny looking little tube amps

    Quote: Thank you for the reply. I did check and adjust the tube bias, and the problem has persisted. So the higher-resistance pot might be a better choice? Good to know. I kind of doubt the pot is actually "faulty" in a way other then maybe low-quality, just because at higher volumes the...

    Bravo Audio - funny looking little tube amps

    Apologies if this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find it in searching the archives.   I am driving (low-impedance) Grados with an early-version Bravo (6N11 + trim pots for bias). The problem is that I can't turn the volume pot past about 8:00, and the left and right signal...

    Integrate ipod dock into system with limited RCA ins?

      Hi, all,   I guess this is a bit off-topic, but I can't imagine one or more of you out there hasn't encountered (and, being smarter than me, solved :) this problem. I would like to integrate my ipod as a stereo component. I have an older receiver and all the line-ins are taken. I haven't...

    Bravo amp + high-impedance input?

    Hi, all, I own an old Rhodes electric piano with magnetic pickups. I was delighted that the signal is strong enough that I can run it through my little Bravo headphone amp; for my purposes, it would be great to be able to double the Bravo as a practice amp for the piano. The output...
