| Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end? I have the EMM Labs DA2i and the TXi CD transport. Fabulous DAC. As close to analogue as I have heard. The TXi extracts more from a CD than anything I have heard. Of course it is a transport only and must go through the DA2i for processing. The pa... | |
| Does America Have Something That Will Beat the HiFi Rose RS151 Gen. 2? I have had the Cary Audio DMS-700 for a good while. It is an excellent steamer/DAC with an easy update process and a nice remote. I don’t see myself moving on any time soon. | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile First time I had the “I didn’t think gear could sound like that moment” was around 1980 with a pair of Snell Type A’s. Amazing! I could not afford them but I did get a pair of the original Type E’s that u used for many years. Now I have a pair of ... | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? I ran Vandersteen Treo CT's and Quatro CVT's with that same set of electronics and they both were a great match for the PS Audio gear. | |
| An audio component you just can't let go Cary cad-300 SEI Integrated. It has all the upgrades and I love it with the Golden Lion 300B's. Great for both my DeVore's and my HD800's. | |
| I need a recommendation on Class D amp Atma-Sphere Class D Mono's. | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! Great question and what fun to read everyone's comments! I owned a pair of original Snell Type-E's around 1981. I replaced the woofers a couple of times as the foam gave out. After Peter Snell passed on the company evolved away from my personal so... | |
| What speakers work with low wattage class A amps My DeVore O/93's work great with low wattage amps. | |
| What's your favorite $5-7000 turntable? VPI Prime Signature | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? I have had 1B's, 3 models of 2's, Treo CT's and Quatro CT's. I have since moved on to DeVore O/93's. Zero bad to say about the Vandy's. Wonderful sound for decades for me. The CT upgrade was a big one. Finally, I walked into the man cave and looke... | |

| Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer? Future Proof and DAC generally do not go well together. That said people have mentioned DAC's like the PS Audio that via FPGA firmware are upgradeable for a number of years. At some point a manufacturer will need to make something new as they have... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? I am hedging my bets because this is a hobby and I like to have fun with my gear. I have just acquired a Denon DP-60L TT for my albums. I have an Oppo 205 for shiny discs (and home theater) and I have a Cary DMS-700 DAC/Streamer all hooked up to m... | |
