    Re: dCS in the house

    Congrats ! I know that Vivaldi front end is singing. If you haven't tried it yet, better clock/AES cables really help. I've used Cardas and Transparent. Cardas are very reasonable bang for...

    Re: Nagra's new HD Preamp debut at RMAF

    Had a interesting demo on Friday afternoon. My dealer had a client who owns the Nagra Classic Preamp and is considering buying a HD Preamp.


    So in goes the Classic preamp into my system. I...

    Re: Nagra's new HD Preamp debut at RMAF

    The Nagra HD Pre just sounds incredible and takes the HD amps up several notches. It is NOT subtle. I've heard the Classic Preamp in my home. I really liked it. I thought my Koda K10 was better a...

    Re: Nagra's new HD Preamp debut at RMAF

    HD pre is still breaking in...only 4-5 days playing time. The Koda is quite special. Especially in the mids. The Nagra is more even top to bottom, more energy, more resolution, but at the same...

    Re: ROON using a NUC

    Interesting thread. I've clicked a few of the links above.

    Why not run Roon core on your NAS? I have Roon on my Synology DS716+II. I upgraded the ram (voids Synology warranty) from 2 gb to...

    Re: Nagra's new HD Preamp debut at RMAF

    Nagra has a long heritage of great preamps. I used to own a Nagra PLL. Still love my Nagra VPS that I've owned for years now...

    This HD preamp seems to be outstanding...very curious to hear it !

    Re: Nagra 300i and phono stage

    The VFS really helps the VPS. So given your added context, I really think you should go for a Nagra VPS !

    Re: Nagra 300i and phono stage

    PS, just another thought, if you want to keep your Melody and use with your MSA, what about buying a Nagra BPS. They are pretty reasonable and very very good. It's essentially the same phono stage...

    Re: Nagra 300i and phono stage

    Your Nagra 300i is a very sweet amp. Quite a gem sound wise. And looks to kill. I've heard it many times as my dealer has one.

    The PLP has a tube based phono stage while your Melody is solid...
  14. Re: Ayre MX-R Twenty owners, a question about temperature?

    Do you fully power them off or just in standby? I agree on extended warm up time...they are very good amps ! Ditto you're pre !
  15. Re: Ayre MX-R Twenty owners, a question about temperature?

    I owned MX-R's for years. They get pretty hot, I never measured em, but you couldn't keep your hand on them for more than a second or three...I left mine fully power on for literally 6 years

    Dealers that churn lines...irritate me. And I don't buy from them. How could the thing he's trying to sell me be the best today...then he has a new line up soon....

    Re: Nagra CLASSIC AMP?

    While I agree with your dealer that different sometimes equals a nice change...if you had a Classic Preamp to go with a Classic amp you might rethink the superiority of ARC.

    Yes, if a balanced input on your phono stage...best to use a din to xlr.
