I'm hoping someone here can provide me some guidance.   I picked up a Music Hall mmf 5.1 turntable & Pro-Ject Phono Bix MM that's connected to my Denon AVR-X2100W reciever with a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 and Wharfedale subwoofer. I like the warm sound from this setup but it doesn't have...

Hello,   Can someone recommend a good phono preamp to go with a Music Hall mmf 5.1? I'm currently using a Pro-Ject MM phono preamp and would like to upgrade.    Thanks!

Bi-amping, not bi-wiring.

That's funny you mentioned the Denon X2000. I just picked up the Denon AVR X 2100 this past weekend. I'm enjoying the convenience factor of just sitting on my couch and streaming tunes to the Denon instead of sitting @ my iMac. It sounds good enough and I probably going to look into bi-amping my...

Hello everyone!   I was wondering what's the general consensus on AV receivers on this board? I see lots of insight & opinions on all kinds of equipment except for AV receivers. The specs on some of them are very interesting. I'm seeing some of them are able to stream FLAC 24 /192.   Thanks...

Hello,   I'm thinking of getting a new Mac Mini to act as a media server. I already have a Schiit Gungnir DAC (with USB), Rega Brio-R amp and a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 speakers. I was wondering if the folks on Head-Fir could share with me their comments, opinions, experience on the Mac...

Hello,   Does anyone here know of a vendor who sells aftermarket replacement headbands, preferably for the Shure SRH940? I love the the SRH940's but the headband sucks and they are starting to crack. These are my second pair, the first were replaced by Shure. 

Hello,   I need some suggestions on what to do with the following components:   Rega Brio - R   Schiit Gungnir   NuForce U192S USB to S/PDIF converter   Fiio D3 & E17   pair of Emotiva Airmotiv 6 speakers   pair of Wharfedale 10.2 speakers   waiting on a Olive One...

A friend lent me another optical cable and now it works. Very strange?

Hello,   Here is my current setup  :   27" late 2009 iMac > USB to NuForce U192S >  Optical to Schiit Gungnir > RCA out to Rega Brio R Integrated Amp   There is no sound above 96 kHz sample rate. The blue & white LED between 192 & 176 is on the NuForce U192S but no sound. All other...

I ordered a Schiit Gungnir (non - USB) on clearance from Audio Advisor and a NuForce U192S (USB to SPDIF converter) yesterday. I've read nothing but good thing regarding the Gungnir and I got it significantly less than the Rega Dac. I like the Rega DAC and may pick one up if I find one used.

Thanks!

Hello,   I have a Rega DAC on loan to hear how it sounds with my Rega Brio R & Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 speakers. I liked it very much but feel very hesitant to pull the trigger. I don't know how old the Rega DAC is but I'm finding reviews going back to 2010 so it's been around awhile and...

Hello,   I've been racking my brain the last couple of months on which DAC I should acquire to replace my Fiio E17 in my rig ( Rega Brio-R, iMac, Wharfedale Diamond 10.2). The ifi iDac & iUSB are strong contenders.  I'm stuck on the following :     DACs Model Musical...

I have a ibasso D4 Mamba lying around that I thought I mess around with and maybe learn something.

Hello,   Is it possible to easily swap out / upgrade the chip in a DAC? I saw these ads on ebay and was wondering if it's worth the roll of the dice.   http://www.ebay.com/itm/221184337485?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649  ...

I have an Audioquest Carbon 0.75m USB cable. It made an huge improvement in my opinion over the Apogee Duet 2 stock cable. It's currently listed in the classified section.

I have a Rega Brio-R that I'm very happy with. I'm currently using the Fiio e17 as a DAC for the time being until I can upgrade. I've read the Rega DAC is very simpatico with the Brio-R but I don't dig that the USB can only do max 16/48. Is my concern unwarranted? I have a growing library of...

Thanks for the links!

No. I bought a cable that made a substantial improvement in my system but the IEC housing kept rubbing up against my speaker cable. You're entitled to your opinion and I respect that but I find the tone in your post disrespectful, obnoxious and ignorant. My original question was about acquiring...

Hello,   How difficult is it to change the female end on a power cord? I have a Transparent Audio High Performance PowerLink power cord that is too big to fit in my Rega Brio-R. I removed the IEC housing and it fits now but rubs up against the speaker inputs. Can I or is there someone out on...
