    Your All Time Favorite Preamplifiers?

    @Mike Lavigne - In your opinion what is that price point when less is more ? I have been hearing this in my system where I was going from a mola mola tambaqui -> ps audio bhk pre. In effect there was attenuation 6v -> 4v and from 44 ohms -> about 200. Yes the sound was 'warmer' at the expense...

    Finally got a new DAC (Tambaqui!)

    my 2c is if you run it with a preamp it better be a top notch preamp....otherwise I prefer to run it direct to the amp.

    A new star in 2019 : Innuos Statement Server

    I used the browser really - so ip address:9000 So this is just Logitech MS and instead using ipeng i would just use the browser- so no roon, no upnp. In terms of my sonic feelings, i would say i had quite enjoyed 1.4.9 - the only reason i went to 2 was curiousity. If you are enjoying the sound...

    Shunyata Everest vs Audioquest Niagra 5000

    I know this might not be fair and the more logical comparison might be with Everest and the Niagra 7000. I dont have a dedicated line. I tried the Everest(with the Sigma xc) - after letting it burn in for about 100 hours, maybe i should have let it burn more. I did find improvements in stage -...

    A new star in 2019 : Innuos Statement Server

    i can try, but these are very early days and so i need to listen more. From a software pov: 1. For me personally its not a game changer - slicker ui et all but the previous experience worked fine for me as well 2. Yeah i suppose with qobuz playlists things are better and you can save stuff...

    mola mola Tambaqui

    Not sure about the diff between the integrated vs tambaqui. Such a revealing dac, it truly does shine the light on both good and bad recordings. Love the detail, the clarity, the soundstage both height and width. Its a great experience.
