    Need an audiophile quality preamp that won't break the bank.

    I can't think of any two channel pre amps with a sub out, on AV amps, yes. However many sub woofers have the ability to connect to take an 'high level' input from your speakers so its not such a problem if you have an amp with only one set of out puts. Re the Topping pre 90, its ridiculously...

    REW install on Linux or windows ?

    Can someone check me on this please, for the input I’m going to get the recommended mic, minidsp UMIK-1, probably from Amazon but I’m not sure about how best to get the test tones to my system, I am thinking I would use the balanced outputs from my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 to the stereo pre amp ...

    REW install on Linux or windows ?

    Haven't got far with REW on windows because I had trouble with the windows drive, probably because I was lazy and didn't do a secure erase on the disc before throwing windows at it. Try again later.

    REW install on Linux or windows ?

    Thanks for that, my daily driver is linux mint but I have a couple of apps that are proprietary and I have to use windows, an exercise in stress management! However it will be interesting to see which is easiest to set up and use. Yesterday I installed REW on Linux mint (Cinnamon) 21.3. No...

    Understood, it makes sense that the less you have in the chain the better.

    REW install on Linux or windows ?

    Thanks for the quick response. The more I thought about this the more conflicted I became! Then, after a the third cup of tea I realized that it doesn't matter, I can do both. I have an old lenovo laptop which has removable 2.5" drives so I'll get two clean drives and put linux on one and...

    REW install on Linux or windows ?

    Hi, I’m a new to the forum so…before I can get started I will need to download and learn about REW. I have a laptop with both windows 10 & linux mint 21.3. I prefer linux for most things but are there any benefits / drawbacks (hardware, drivers, etc.) to using one or the other OS ? Thank you

    Hi from the UK

    Hi all, there's no denying it, I am ‘audiophile’ I’ve always been fascinated by the equipment and process of reproducing music and have built most all of my amps, speakers, record decks and everything but the DAC over the years. I’m a guitarist and make my own guitars, amps and pedals. I have...
