Hello, it's my first thread on this forum.
I noticed that some Audio Karma users own Parasound amps or have more experience with them, so I decided to create an account and ask about differences between New Classic 2125 v2 and New Classic 2250 v2.
I have Dali Oberon 7 speakers and I want to...
Good morning,
I've always had a fondness for solid audio equipment and prized myself on being a step above what most people had, but when my AT LP-60 died I decided to start to really look into what I can do to build a nice sound system that isn't centered around my home theater system. It...
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie to Hi-Fi and new to the forum - thank you all in advance for the great conversation so far and for any help on this! much appreciated.
I'm a long time music lover but haven't really invested in good gear up to this point (didn't have the resources) - mostly used...
Hello, I searched and did not find a thread that focuses on the listening impressions (**not** technical specifications or measurements or charts or graphs) of the Topping 70 DAC, so perhaps this will start one. I am also interested in how the current D70 compares to the current Schiit Audio...
Back in June I picked up a pair of KEF 104/2's. Driving them with a Rotel RX-1052 they sounded very good, but thought there was room for improvement (Ferrofluid replace, but not recapped yet). Bass seemed to be loose and ill defined. Last week I had some extra time and swapped in my Sansui...
Hey folks!
Is anyone out there using the new Schiit Freya+ preamp?
Just wondering what people think of theirs as far as sound quality. I know not many are in circulation yet, but thought I’d ask.
I’m presently using their original Saga passive pre and while it sounds clear and clean, I want...
Hello there. I own a Schiit Modi Multibit DAC, which sounds just fine in my system (paired with a little tube amp and Cabasse speakers). Now, since I bought it I've been stocking a huge and growing library of Hi-Res music (mostly 24/96 FLACs), and so I started wondering whether I should go for a...
Each piece in the system has a story to tell...
My turntable is a Kenwood KD-2070 purchased used for about $35 on eBay nearly a decade ago. Only recently did I decide to "get back into" vinyl, so it has been seeing a lot of work. I currently have it loaded with an Audio-Technica VM750SH...
Replaced my Schiit Freya that I really enjoyed but I needed a tape loop.
Currently going to play background music for the next 48 hours before making any judgement.
My current set up:
Jolida Fusion
Rega P2 (Denon DL110 Cartridge) into a highly modified Jolida JD-9
Pioneer RT 707 spinning...
Hello all,
I'm a new addition as of this evening to this forum. I've been a bit of a lurker for a month or so now but knew I'd have to take the plunge and introduce myself. I'm relatively new to the audio scene but I've been an avid listener of most formats for more than a few decades. I...
Hello All,
So I have been googling and reading until my head hurts, I want to purchase a new preamp; and don't have the budget to make the wrong choice. (hence I seek your help).
OK, So about me, my current system is, from source to sound: a Rega P5 (modded - groovetracer subplatter, TTPSU...
Here I am showing my main system. At the heart of this system are the Nakamichi 410 Preamp and SAE 2200 Solid State Stereo Power Amp. Both belonged to my father, they are in near perfect cosmetic shape and perfect working order. The speakers used in this system are Pioneer Andrew Jones SP-FS52...
Hello, my name is Carmen and I am new to the forum, living in central east coast Florida. I have played guitar and loved music since primary school. I am now retired and able to buy a stereo system I wanted but with kids, houses, cars, etc. could never afford. I still play guitar, own some...
Hi everyone.
I've read a review and a few threads online regarding the Schiit Ragnarok Integrated. The one review I read was a little overly enthusiastic which I'm taking as a grain of salt.. and many of the threads seem to rip the company apart without actually listening to their products...
I was recently trying to digitize a few records of mine when I came across a problem. there was a noticeable "electric" sound in the recording when my computer was turned on. I have everything plugged into a tripp lite iso- which I hoped would solve the problem but didn't. i assume it is being...
So I am looking to roll the stock tubes in my amp and was wondering what the best sounding option would be at a good price point? the amp was $350 so I'm not looking for anything crazy.
it uses 6922/6dj8 and equivalent.
Im looking at bidding on a pair of siemens Cca tubes with an A4 L6 date stamp on them. Are they work going after? I know Cca are supposed to be the best of the best so what do you think? The bid starts at $99

I'm having some trouble with my tube amp. I'm in the middle of ripping some vinyl albums to my computer and I am getting this awful hum. https://www.dropbox.com/s/uenwdb7t018btog/interference.wav?dl=0
when I plug directly into my sound card the hum goes away so I am assuming it is being picked...
I'm really quite happy with my current DAC/AMP setup at work. $83 for:
Used Schiit Fulla DAC/AMP ($50)
VSONIC VSD 1S earphones ($30)
Monoprice USB cable ($3)
Great, powerful sound. Good sound isolation with the VSDs (important, now that I am a cube dweller). I was getting some USB noise from...
I have a quite large 24/96 and 16/44.1 digital audio collection and some decent vintage solid state and tube gear to play through. I have been looking at the Schiit Modi 2 because I like the aesthetics, reviews have been strong and it looks like it might be upgradeable. Im asking to see If this...
Someone's offering me a Denon DP-23F from 1986 for $70CAD (I can probably get that down.) I just wanted to know people's thoughts on this particular TT and if it's worth that etc. I currently have AKG K701s and a Schiit Magni connected to a Korg DS-DAC-100m for music direct to my Macbook. I was...

Hey guys,...
I know there is an overload of DAC comparisons, but I couldn't find any of these side by side (and I've searched ALOT)
Will need a DAC to stream from my PC (probably using Toslink) to a Creek 4330 + Epos K5 setup (don't have this system yet but this is the direction).
