| New DACs High End Munich 2023 What about Aqua La Voce S3? Runs close to the top of your budget, but has been reviewed as hitting well above its price. It’s seems to be a discrete dac with something special. I’ve never heard it, but others I know have and say it’s pretty exquis... | |
| Question about wpc on tube amps Greet overall suggestions here… But since you’d already mentioned you’re going to get a preamp to run with that excellent Bryston, definitely look into a decent used Rogue audio pre at that money. But there are other brands that do really well at... | |
| Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test That is a head scratcher. Could say a lot about your dac…I’ve found a difference between inputs on even decent dacs I’ve tried (my own dac vs others $500-$1k range). I upgraded from a decent basic rpi based streamer transport (Allo Digione) to a b... | |
| Bass only when I stand up… My first (serious) system that I had in our previous house exhibited a similar problem, only that it was in a living room adjoining the dining room. Long and narrow space with system agains the short wall. Not long to discover that when I stepped ... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? I would have to say yes it might. As @erik_squires mentioned, a serious well shielded cord can make a difference wherever. At least it had for me. Tried one on my amp directly into the wall to replace the standard cord ( into a decent Hubble 20amp... | |
| Interesting Power Cable Experience I wish it wasn’t true…but definitely not a placebo effect (and so infuriating when others decide this to be the case) I’ve had 12-14 gauge $100 cables beat out by well built/shielded/terminated 10 gauge $50 cables in this way. The most discernible... | |
| Prospectives on Chi-Fi Made (well) in China, is well made 👍🏼 LA90 Discrete reviewed quite well as well. Well? | |
| VINCENT AUDIO Although I’d gone a different direction with my decision on separates, I still wonder about Vincent Audio offerings. The SP 332 is pretty well raved about for a power amp. The preamp has a more mixed reception among reviewers, but I bet sounds gre... | |
| Integrated Amp Shopping Decisions Feel the Rogue Cronus Magnum III would be really nice for your setup. Great phono and head amp too… cheers! http://www.rogueaudio.com/Products_Cronus_Magnum.htm | |
| Help Connecting Dual Subs To Monoblocks @moofoo I was wondering if that was how to do it. @brylandgoodman I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing with two amps in mono and adding another sub. Only thing, most Rel subs incorporate a single neutrik connection and cable ends for posi... | |
| Perfect match for ATC speakers I’m considering getting a pair of 11’s myself, but pairing with my current SPL Elector pre and GoldNote PA-10. The SPL has some warmth along with serious clarity and stage, and the PA-10 (although 75w &8ohms) has remarkable headroom with curr... | |
| New Class D amplifiers I’d done quite a bit of research before settling on a GoldNote PA-10, which I really adore. But down the line, I’d really like to try the Starkimson (mentioned above), an LSA Voyager GaN amp, and (even preferably) a Peachtree GaN 400: | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? I got a good deal on an SPL Elector solid state preamp. Retails close to 3k but could be found for around $1,800. In my opinion, pretty magical. Very special pre. Imaging is amazing. Holographic, balanced, clear, super detailed, really layered, ju... | |
| what cd player ? Audiolab CDT9000 just dropped. Paul Rigby placed in higher standing than the 6000, consistent with the difference in price. I’d personally try that one, although haven’t even heard the 6000CDT: | |
| Analyzing DACs Interesting to me, how these discussions become so incredibly polarizing. Isn’t it true that there are many variables to consider here? A good sounding dac is a good sounding dac. A dac that measures well does not guarantee that its output stage w... |
