| Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe First Thyname, I wouldn't necessarily run out and change the amp without exploring a few options:1: Are your cables up to snuff what are you using?2: Are you using power conditioning? 3: Are you using power cords?4: Are you using a stock rack any ... | |
| Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe Thyme often the path less traveled will get you the results you are after, Borrow all the amps that you can and see if switching out the amp does what you want it to.Many times we have seen a better match occuring with brand mixing than keeping al... | |
| Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe Sorry Audioconnection, the Plinus gear is known for being very musical and mimic a tube amplifier’s sound, Ayre gear has never been known for a warm sound, rather than a clean sound without alot of bloom.Running XLR vs RCA into a Plinus doesn’t ma... | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Prof it is impossible to properly tune an omni, the effects of toe in do not apply to such a design, and for most people roon reflections will create a wide but unfocused image as you will be producing new sound sources via reflections, a well dam... | |
| ATC SCM19A or SCM40 (passive) ATC dealer, go for the 40.s, the 19S are very very good, but there is more magic in the 40's in terms of midrange clarity, image focus and of course bass,A well set up pair of 40's is very special we have a client with a full Naim rig and the soun... | |

| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Bondmanp, Omni directional speakers are a love hate thing, honestly most people don't like them, if they did everyone would be making such designs at last count I think there are four such designs: MBL, Ohm, German Physics a Walsh clone, and the C... | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Most of what we are going to say is mirrored in other threads to which we have replied here is our take on this subject.There are a lot of good speakers in this price range, you need to identify what are your priorities aside from just bettering y... | |
| Streaming Quality Test - Lumin U1 vs. PS Audio Direcstream DAC vs Bridge II Replying to hemotech comments about dacs sound the same they dont.Dave and TroyAudio Doctor NJ | |
| Streaming Quality Test - Lumin U1 vs. PS Audio Direcstream DAC vs Bridge II Helomech,On a well setup system the differences especially in dacs, should be quite large unlesss both dacs are of a similar quality, then the differences come into play in terms of soundstaging, resolution, musicality and tonality.We sell and dis... | |
| The big DAC decision Notubes there are a ton of dacs that offer the wamth of vinyl.The Aquahifi line of dacs do, so does Metrum, Audio Note and many other dacs that are voiced musically.The Nquist is a lovely dac and we are not saying either one of these dacs is bette... | |
| The big DAC decision The Nyquest is excellent however at $18k it is $5k more then the Lumin and it doesnt have a FPGA archecture which allows for instant upgrading.Like the Nyquest Lumin offers board based upgrades.Nor does it have the superb Lumin app.Bettering Nagra... | |
| The big DAC decision Guys the Lumin is an excellent choice.In one simple elegant box you have everything you need. The X1 is both a streamer and a Dac.It accesses everything you could want and it is backed up by a very large stable company. Sonically you would have to... | |
| Vitus Ri100 with Dyns Good Combo? The A21 is your weak link the JC 5 would be better, however the entire setup of preamp and amp would be bettered by moving into an uber integrated from Vitus, Gryphon or T+A.The Vitus gear does tend to sound warm, which may not be a good thing wit... |
