| Upgrade from B&W 802D1 to Focal Utopia Scala Evo @onehorsepony You are making yourself crazy; yet I get it. Saving for retirement, spending hard earned money, and being disappointed; it stinks. IMHO and older ears, I have found over the years both B&W and particularly Focal to be quite fat... | |
| Supplementing KEF Ref 3 METAs I am using two Rythmik subwoofers with my KEFs in a 16x24 room. Very pleased and integrates well. | |
| New to Class D / Purifi - thoughts before I purchase, details below I have the VTV Purifi 7040 dual mono amp with the Sparkos op-amps and Furtech wiring. Lots of current for my difficult KEF and Magnepan speakers. Rogue pre-amp and Denafrips Pontus DAC. Quite revealing, tight, and big soundstage. Crap recordings... | |
| DAC for WiiM Pro Plus Wiim Pro Plus works very nicely yet an external DAC could be quite wise. It becomes a question of budget when deciding about the DAC as well as the overall sound presentation you are seeking relative to the rest of your system. | |
| Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end? As one who who grew up with vinyl, cassettes/8-tracks, CD’s, and now streaming, I do not get this whole analog v.s. digital sound stuff and this vinyl craze. I have had various iterations of hi-fi systems for decades and decades. All I remember ... | |
| DAC for WiiM Pro Plus So many DACs out there. What is your budget? What about other equipment? Any preference for certain type of soundstage? Some things to consider relative to your purchase. | |

| That Other Audiophile Website I have been selling used equipment for many years in my upgrade path journey. I always state "smoke-free" and "pet-free" home as well as my EBay seller rating. Ask these questions if they ever are not openly reported in the listings. USAM is a ... | |
| Favorite Led Zeppelin Album What???? Led Zeppelin - changed my musical life forever listening to WNEW from NYC on my dad's stereo that he built. I remember the moment to this day! | |
| Shipping fatigue and your audio habits I have had some success with reduced shipping at a Parcel Monkey. Have used them a number of times over the years with selling used hifi equipment and it has gone quite smooth. | |
| SourcePoint 888 owners – low-end bass in open rooms? FWIW, heard these at the Montreal Audiofest last year and marveled at the low end. | |
| Low volume (loudness) listening Really nice system. What will you do? | |
| why are sellers to be trusted, but buyers are not? @lalitk @goodlistening64 Excellent perspectives. | |
| Standalone DAC upgrade from onboard integrated I am using the Denafrips Pontus II with older Magnepan MG12’s. Really nice and quite revealing. I can imagine the 1.7x! Only thing to consider is crap in/crap out with regard to recording and engineering quality. | |
| Spendor Classic 100 - An itch I want to scratch! I have always enjoyed listening to the Spendor 2/3 at hifi shows. Just really, really nice sound. |
