| Stereophile - Sabrina 5 Perhaps the Wilson detractors should start their own speaker business to show decades old top performing and widely loved speaker manufacturers such as Wilson, how it’s supposed to be done. Good luck with funding! “In many ways, the work of a cr... | |
| move to a floorstander from Harbeth? @clarinetmonster2 I ran the SCM40s and 50’s with: Audia Flight FLS-9 integrated , SimAudio 641 Integrated, SimAudio 761, Accuphase P4600 and P7500. The passive ATCs are a pretty easy load but will reward solid amplification. It all depends on once... | |
| move to a floorstander from Harbeth? @clarinetmonster2 hello. I’ll give you my two cents as well :) I’ve owned Harbeth C7ES3-XD, SHL5+XD, M40.2,M40.3XD. Set them up in a few rooms and with lots of different source gear. I’ve also owned Spendor S3e,S8e,A1 (little babies). If you love... | |
| why do expensive amplifiers produce a better soundstage Correct me if I’m wrong but @yamaho asked about amplifiers and how a more expensive design might improve soundstage. It’s nice to hear other’s opinions on differences among amplifiers and we probably should just stick to the topic; not room acoust... | |
| why do expensive amplifiers produce a better soundstage Assuming good room acoustics and speaker setup and just focusing on the immediate question: -Higher quality power supplies. -Superior noise rejection. -Better topologies to take advantage of and work in conjunction with the lower noise power supp... | |
| Are all R2R dacs slow and soft? @traudio from my experience, no. Owned MSB discrete, Denafrips Terminator 2 ,and Bricasti M21. All are excellent R2R DACS. Slow and soft not in the same conversation when describing the characteristics of these very fine DACS. | |
| Millennia Media imersiv D1 @yyzsantabarbara “Actually, more fun to talk about the music” awesome place to be! | |
| Millennia Media imersiv D1 @yyzsantabarbara I’m looking forward to your impression of the Imersiv and the Playback. I assume it will be an apples to apples setup and DACS will be warm and stable. I own and love the mpd-8 and find it renders an amazing blend of beautiful nat... | |
| Millennia Media imersiv D1 @yyzsantabarbara congrats on the moves! It’s nice when a consolidation yields some cash 💰 and there is a performance benefit! | |
| Millennia Media imersiv D1 @yyzsantabarbara a friend told me about this DAC. Interesting engineering technique to use two DACS and combine. For sure can achieve very low noise and high dynamic range. The filter options remind me of HQ Player. Have you picked one overall set... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @milpai at this level it takes at least 24 hours for a power cable swap for system to settle. | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @milpai I have used the stock Accuphase power cord, which was of course used by the design team to bench test all the gear, and with it, I could sense no issues with the performance of either the P-4600 or P-7500. On deck I have/had and tested: a ... | |
| Accuphase amplifier choice @milpai congrats on a very fine choice! | |
| Aries-Cerat DAC's @verdantaudio thank you for your detailed response! That “awful” result with some other components almost seems like an impedance mismatch somewhere. In any case I was just curious how these two DACS compare. thanks again! |
