| Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less Chord Qutest incredible value; according to the designer Rob Watts, they selected the best power supply for the overall low noise design; stick with the stock supply and you can’t go wrong.Immensely musical for the price of admission. | |
| Looking to upgrade DAC from SA8005 I like Marantz stuff always have; I have the 8004 and it’s very musical, not the last word in extension but it is a heck of a value for the age; I can’t recommend these two highly enough at your price point:Chord Qutest and Schitt Saga+; Highly un... | |
| Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long Interesting thread! Thanks for posting your updates in the process. I have a Furetech GTX-D-rhodium sitting in my drawer. It was in my wall for a while; Very similar experience. I just figured not a good fit, bad synergy, etc, so I swapped back to... | |
| Bricasti M3 In the house @briang no way! cool!I had the PS Audio DSD too. Nice dac! Let me/us know what you find out!Thanks,Dave | |
| Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ? @thyname @denon1 you were right; The TWL Obsession is a fantastic PC and has improved the performance of the system. I tried a Nordost Brahma (bought from a friend and ended up using on the C-900 preamp), Audience AU24SE-HP, Shunyate NRC something... | |
| Bricasti M3 In the house Currently I’m running it directly from the Zenith’s network streamer output. The EtherREGEN is out for now; I want to get a clean perspective on it for a week this way; I did some initial testing, and preferred the Ethernet connection but it was d... | |
| New Amp help/recomendations? @mmj have you tried both (4 or 8 ohm) taps ? | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss @erik_squires It is not simply pick a gain stage, follow that up with suitable output drivers, toss in some distortion mechanism, and poof you have a Pass amp. It's my basic understanding that Nelson Pass designs his amplifiers not specificall... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss Hi @english210 Noble quest--complete sound, that is. I applaud you. I can only speak to my experiences with Pass equipment. I have had many of the AB "X" series amps with, mostly, Dynaudio speakers. The Dyns have the hallmark of smooth and natural... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss As I’m sitting here enjoying a nice cold beer and listening to music, I read this entire thread*. It was like a tv sitcom. I actually lol a few times. I love this loonie bin and everyone in it. Cheers inmates. *Day 38 in our house on lockdown, so ... | |
| Lumin X1 or U1 + PS Audio DSD DAC Do you use Roon to manage your music--ie., core is running in the InnuOs?If you use Roon and jettison your existing chain you will now need a dedicated Roon server. After many different configurations on Roon core integration (two different Lenovo... | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 RIAA, please clarify your position; are you simultaneously ridiculing an audio engineering company and two different US geographic regions? Why are you all butt hurt that others might actually enjoy Rogue gear? I sure hope you are just joking; if ... | |
| Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ? Pete (of TWL) was great and informed me of his April discount. I ordered the speaker cables to try as well; Should arrive by Monday. | |
| Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ? update: Hated the Audience AU24 SE!!! At first I heard "improvement" in bass--it took me a while to realize what was happening. Higher frequencies were being compressed and damped down. It was quite shocking to experience this effect. The Audience... | |
| Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ? Hello. I re arranged the m900 to bottom shelf of the Samson rack, swapped some power cords (IsoTek optimum feeding IsoTek evo3, Nordost Brahma feeding c900, Audience au24se on amp straight into wall receptacle), put the speaker cables on wood bloc... |
