Some preamp manufacturers insist their use of an inverted output is the right way to go and any products that do not invert are simply not as good. Is that true? Watch HERE
Hello, I recently replaced my mains conditioner, with a high quality power strip.(Oyaide MG). The sound is now more detailed, dynamics I didn’t know I was missing are back, and air and separation have all improved. I am interested if anyone else has gone back to basics? MORE
Considering a new can-amp for the main system I really fancy the Schiit Valhalla 2 Now Schiit say the Valhalla 2 is suitable for Grado’s which mostly seem to be 32ohms across their ranges, they also say suitable for AKG’s too + I’ve heard that K701’s were also used in the Valhalla 2’s development* (*These […]
