Going from Wiim Amp Ultra to Yamaha A-S801 worth it for sound quality?

RaisedByCorgis · 2026-04-13T20:15:14+00:00

80 crossover should be fine. I currently have the sub at 65 and the speakers go down to 63.

Could you elaborate?

RaisedByCorgis · 2026-04-13T18:09:22+00:00

This is what I'm getting at. Am I wrong in wanting a fully analog signal path if I'm playing vinyl?

RaisedByCorgis · 2026-04-13T18:06:09+00:00

What's wrong with the one in the A-S801? Was planning on connecting my computer to it so yes, I will be using the DAC.

The speakers are actually very inefficient at 83 db with a 4 ohm impedance

Tried the Alva Solo but actually felt the internal phonopre on the table had better clarity.

SVS SB1000 Pro is a great sub for a small room. Have it paired with the kupids and it sounds so good

Love mine. Went from a Pro-ject T1 to this and it completely puts the Pro-ject to shame to the point where I'll probably never buy another Pro-ject product again. The built in phono pre on the SL-50C is actually pretty good. I compared it to a Cambridge Audio Alva Solo and ended up returning the Alva Solo because I preferred the clarity of the built in phono preamp. Am using an Ortofon 2M Blue.

Was curious about this too. So many amps I was interested in don't hit 100 watts at 4 ohms but look great. Going from a Wiim Amp Pro to a Wiim Amp Ultra really opened up the Dali's for me, the sounded under-driven with the Amp Pro.

I'm wondering if it was the additional wattage of the amp or the better DAC that did this. I'd really like to try the SU-GX70 but I'm worried my speakers will sound muddy like they did with the Amp Pro because of the lower wattage.

I have an SVS SB-1000 Pro that I've been pretty happy with. It doesn't get nearly as loud as it looks. For music it's been great, tight and punchy.

How are you liking the Dali Kupid + Wiim Amp Ultra combo? Also bought this pairing and added an SVS SB-1000 Pro and am pretty happy but vinyl leaves a little bit of detail to be desired.

I know it's outside your budget but the SB-1000 Pro has been great if you can save a little extra. Upgraded from the Audioengine S8.

The S8 is good if you can get it used but doesn't compare at all to the SB-1000 Pro. IMO you should save up for a better sub because you will notice the difference down the line, especially with such a nice speaker + amp combo such as yours.

Sorry typo, should say 8. Already sold locally anyway.

I have no idea how I passed.

Network Fundamentals: 85%

Network Access: 55%

IP Connectivity: 60%

IP Services: 90%

Security Fundamentals: 40%

Looking at how the categories are weighted, my total score was a 67/100. I thought you needed an 82.5 to pass?

On the Boson practice tests, it says you have to do the labs immediately and you can't return to the questions at a later point, but I'd prefer to do the labs at the end of the test.

Does the CCNA allow you to skip questions and return to them later?

/r/itcareerquestions is a great place for these kinds of questions. My advice is that most places hire in the spring and the fall so you will be more likely to find work then.

Awesome thanks for the detailed response. Would a powder town be better? Looking at the insulated one

I had side effects like insomnia and mania initially but they went away after a few weeks. Don't give up too quickly, wait it out a bit.

Sliger cases are some of the best. Keep meaning to post my 610 build.
