What punches much higher than it's price point?
Just bought a Townshend Audio reference preamp in part, because an owner posted how it performed better than preamps he owned that were more than twice the price ! I concur wholeheartedly. This makes me wonder what other audio diamonds are hiding out there ? What component have you purchased new that so impressed you at its price point ?
Bluesound Node - Streamer... now going for $600+, but you can pick a used one up for $200+ https://www.bluesound.com/usa/node?srsltid=AfmBOorrYsAR1FB5lONZjrHo-k6Y0Hyj00y_zjLyzT-ESDc2CR7qR6Hv This is the streamer I started my digital path a few years back.... for the price point, cant be beat and does it well. Have upgraded since...Aurender N20. My 2nd suggestion = anything from Schits Audio: 3rd: VPI Classic Signature TT; for the price point tough to beat & punches well above many costing more

Some Douk and Fosi audio ... Edifier too ...
But which can replace Schumann battery generators at peanuts price with great effects ? Another Schumann battery generators from the same Chinese brand ... Now before some ignorant dare to call erroneously "placebo" as in deception (placebo is a real consciousness/unconsciousness modification not an illusion ) , the real audible effect on our perception of each soundfield vibrating sources interrelation ( for example the piano perception & trumpet & drums "volume perceived 3-d space and his aura" in a jazz trio playback ) you must understand what is Schumann resonance and why a Schumann generator located rightfully can affect your perception of sound : Understanding The Schumann Resonances & The Connection to our Brainhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e03-fLCe9R8
At the end what punch over his price point is something that cannot be priced, it is not an audio brand name pieces of gear, it is basic acoustics knowledge, and knowledge about basic optimization process of what you already own because knowledge apply to all system/room at any price...

@lalitk Re the Softone Model4, I read somewhere that removing the RF filter on the mains input socket (if fitted) yields a considerable improvement in "microdynamics." |
