| How much do you have to spend? If you are on a budget, used gear from a reputable dealer rather than an online dealer. Buy products that can be serviced in your area. Buy speakers with easy to get and replace spare parts. Start with digital only with a nice internal DAC, live B... | |
| Brand new Denafrips Pontus 15 clicking constantly Did you try USB | |
| What is your experience with Magico A3 or A5 speakers and the company as a whole? When you have a problem with Magico, you have to ship speaker to California factory which is very costly. Jay’s Audio guy had an issue with Magico and he was in trouble. I own a pair of Wilson Sasha DAW. I had an issue with whoofer and my dealer... | |
| Borresen X3 measurements I agree with Mesonto. All Borresens sound harsh, and unpleasant to my ears. They image very well, but sound is so sterile, so mechanic, I can not stand more than few minutes. First few minutes, that hyper detail and imaging is interesting but afte... | |
| 55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey I have 30x13 listening room, 77 inch feels small. Bigger is better. I have a Oled Sony, they are a little dark no matter how bright you watch. LED is better in that sense. I prefer a 85 inch LED to 65 inch OLED. Bigger is always better, no matter ... | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. Hegel 590/600 class AB, super cool, great sound | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! Simaudio is great, it always impresses me at Axpona. They give incredible detail, tonality, and midrange with Wilson Sasha. I have Sasha DAW and Hegel 590, very detailed high frequency, very tight clear base, but midrange is not matching perfectly... | |
| Solo streamer Does anyone has experience with Auralic products? And possibly compare to Aurender and Innous products? | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference I am not surprised, I auditioned DCS Bartok and compared to Hegel 590 internal DAC, and there was no improvement. I ended up getting Denafrips Terminator plus. And I am happy. My source is Bluesound. Bartok is not very good in my experience. Also ... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @simonmoon What I mean for digital and mechanical means, separation is too much to a point that I feel like song looses its composure. I feel like listening the each note from each instrument getting detached from the vocals that I can’t concent... | |
| Mcintosh MAC7200 or Hegel H390 for a new pair of Kef R7 META I totally disagree with McIntosh option unless you are so used to McIntosh sound. Hegel 360 is one of the best amp for the price. Absolutely fantastic, neutral, coherent, does not color, excellent separation, and immense base control. McIntosh can... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions Borresen sounds very impressive first. After a short while it sounds very digital and mechanic. No musicality. It feels like you are listening each individual note instead of a song. Not my cup of tea. I rather prefer a lush sound of musical speak... | |
| My Goodness! Actually they sound very good on video. High efficiency speakers great for tube amps. | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Be careful with Borresen, they are impressive first and very fast, but they sound very digital and mechanical, they do not give a natural sound. | |
| No Output from Hegel H390 I had a similar problem at one channel of my h590. I took it to a local service and they fixed it in few weeks. Hegel service center is in Texas. It might be very costly to ship the amp safely to Texas. Try to find a local service center first. Re... |
