Thoughts on Eversolo T-8
Theo, I've had the T8 now for a month and it's already seen heavy use in my system...approx 12 hours a day. It's been rock solid, not one issue. And the sound is phenomenally good, with the words 'composed' and 'nonfatiguing' first coming to mind.... 
Sometimes Hard to Drive Speakers are a Gimmick
@ OP, I've just read your article, and this is the main takeaway:  "I can't prove intention in any of these designs." Well, if you are unable to provide real evidence or intention, it's probably best not to write an article or post on AG.      
Eversolo T8 vs Lumin U2 and Laiv Harmony DAC
@kmcong , I have experienced zero issues with soundstage/imaging issues with my T8. In fact, it excels in this area in my system and creates a fantastic illusion of real music in real space. I think you will be pleased.  
Eversolo T8 USB transfer rate issue.
Retiredaudioguy, I agree that the T8 sounds phenomenal. I've also noticed that its control of sibilance is superb. I listen to a lot of live BBC 3 and other music broadcasts that employ female announcers, and the T8 presents their voices much more... 
Eversolo T8 USB transfer rate issue.
I also recently bought the T8, and this is not a bug but rather a setting. I happen to use Qobuz connected to USB, and this is how I resolved this issue: While a song is in progress, tap on the stream rate status area (outlined in gold). This brin... 
Prices of Records/Vinyl in 2025
Exactly why I sold my turntable and small collection of LPs years ago. I realized that for the same price, I could either gamble on one LP and listen to 12 songs or subscribe to Qobuz and listen to 3 million, all with great sound and zero hassle. ... 
Quick Eversolo T8 Review
@ sls883, I've got it connected to the 2/64 doc via USB, and it's sounding really good streaming Qobuz as well as lower-rez classical channels (BBC3, Italy Classical Radio, Venice Classic Radio, and WFMT out of Chicago). Everything sounds very nat... 
Have the itch yet again. $5-6k budget for floorstanders.
Yogiboy, love your posts, but my word those white Miami Vice Spendors are hideous!   
Have the itch yet again. $5-6k budget for floorstanders.
Check out Dynaudio Contour 30i model. I have  had the smaller 20i's for 2 years, and they are wonderful in every regard: dynamic, balanced, unfatiguing, smooth treble, phenomenal build quality and flawless cabinetry, etc. The 30i's also measure su... 
Anyone in this hobby lonely like me and wish they could “hang” with a fellow audiophile?
You bring up a fascinating and bravely posted issue, and that's the question of how the vast majority of audiophiles prefer to listen--alone or with another person. Speaking for myself, I can only listen seriously (as in a room and not talking) wi... 
Luxman L-550ax
The 550ax is actually a pure Class A design, so it does not transition to AB...maxes our at 40W into 4 ohms.  
Luxman L-550ax
The 550ax is a beautiful piece, and congrats on snagging one. And from someone who listens to a 25W pure class A amp (First Watt M2) that drives a pair of 4-ohm, 86db pair of Dynaudios with absolutely no problems in a room larger than yours, I thi...

"We, as music lovers, are not idiots." Great post, but sadly this hobby is actually full of idiots.

Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers
Hi Mamifero, You have a great amp, but remember that tube amp power remains constant from 8 ohms to 4 ohms, unlike most SS amps. That does not mean your amp cannot drive 4-ohm speakers, however. In fact, assuming these speakers don't have a crazy...
