| This is really COOL! Is that a Nagra? Screw the amp…check out their hot new female(!!!) drummer! | |
| Did The Absolute Sound use an AI chatbot to review the Soulution 717 monoblock amp? That’d be an embarrassment of a review for a $3k amp, but for a $130k amp?!? I don’t expect much from TAS reviews in the first place, but that’s just ridiculous. | |
| Rockport Avior II's in 19x24.5 room? That’s not a huge room and the Aviors go down to 25Hz (-3dB) so I wouldn’t be too concerned about that. | |
| Why for the life of me I can’t stay awake when listening to Music? McIntosh gear tends to put me to sleep too. 😝 | |
| Power Cable Suggestions. True. But does that mean an OEM power cable is going to “uncondition” the power after it comes out of my power conditioner? @mggartner Yes, it could very well allow noise in, restrict current, etc. that better power cables typically do a much b... | |
| $35000 to $40,000. speakers what would you buy and why? I am trying to walk the thin line of tranparency vs musicality. Although a bit above your price range new, Joseph Audio Pearls excel at that balance of detail/musicality, throw off a large, holographic 3D soundstage, and disappear amazingly wel... | |
| Power Cable Suggestions. I’m waiting for the local utility to offer audiophile grade electricity. Until then, it’s just like pumping sewage through gold-plated water pipes - it’s still just sewage. @mggartner That’s precisely what good power conditioners are for. | |
| About the Matrix Audio ND-1 DAC I think one you should consider at the same price is the Gustard R30. It’s an R2R DAC and has gotten some very favorable reviews and seems very well engineered. Thought you’d find this review interesting as directly compares the R30 favorably to... | |
| Buchardt E50 vs Fritz What specific improvements would you like and what sound characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Power Cable Suggestions. I gave the IceAge cables a try and they were comically terrible. If it’s new you need to give it at least 100 hours of playing time for it to break in otherwise you’re probably not hearing the cable near its ultimate best. Lotsa cables take a ... | |
| Outstanding Ramm Audio, DIY Graphene Cables Impressions! Sounds interesting. Went to their website and no listing of prices or how to buy them. WTF?!? | |
| Is Budget Audiophile an oxymoron? What specifically don’t you like about the sound? Sounds like you have the speakers against the wall flanking the TV, and there are lotsa issues there that aren’t helping to say the least. Getting a pair of decent stands and getting the speakers... | |
| Isolation recommendations for my Pathos Inpol2 MkII, heavy Class A integrated amp (38kg) Townshend would be the first place I’d look for sure, but if that’s out of your price range Tough Nut products get great feedback and may be more cost effective and might be worth checking out as well. Here’s a link, and best of luck. https://to... | |
| Adding a Subwoofer - REL T/9x? I don’t think the REL T/9x is a good choice at all given your room size and that you’re using it for HT as well as music as it’s only got a 10” woofer and is down 6dB at 27Hz, which means it probably doesn’t go much lower than your speakers. For ... | |
| Musical Fidelity M8xi For another significant and relatively cost-effective upgrade you should consider adding a Denafrips Iris or Singxer SU6 DDC before your Pontus connected with i2S. You could buy one used and easily resell if it doesn’t work out, but it will. I d... |
