| How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD I've owned one (and then two) SVS SB12+ which were a step up in quality from the NSD. They were nice subs but I ultimately required more headroom when I was building a system in my main system (large, open floor plan with no way to pressurize the ... | |

| Domain Trades for High end Audio Gear Seeing as domains are relatively cheap to obtain, and high end audio is not, it seems like you're investing in a strange area. I'd guess that Snell XA references would still cost $12-15,000 on the used market, that's 240 -300 domains at a generou... | |
| Fyne Audio - New Speakers Displayed in Munich Sued on what grounds? Dual concentric drivers or walnut veneers? | |
| Concerning high end audio names in new cars High end home audio is a niche market. Cars are not. Any audio company looking for additional and compatible revenue streams can create brand awareness and potential future customers by inserting a speaker set or head unit into a luxury or halo ca... | |
| Amp Recommendations for Marantz 7c I own a restored 7T in my home office system, and have paired it with both a lightly restored Dynaco st-70, and a Bob Latino ST-70. I prefer the latter as it is not as tubby sounding as the original. The VTA amps are a great value. | |
| Acoustic Zen - blown tweeter - out of business? replacement? If you get desperate, you could try tracking down this unit. This site looks kinda sketchy, so I'm not sure I would purchase from them, but the product name leads me to believe this could be the same unit with a different mounting plate ( square v... | |
| SVS sub owners, Past and Present I owned a pair of their SB12+ that didn't have enough output for our open floor plan home, and needed to move up to a pair of sealed 15s. That's about the only issue i had, and it was more poor application than anything. | |
| From Jeff Rowland to Primaluna. Yes or No? I went from a Jeff Rowland Model 2, to a Pass Labs XA30.5, to a Primaluna Evo 300 Power amp, currently driving a pair of Tannoy Legacy Ardens (93db sensitivity vs the SF's 91db). I could happily live with any of these amps in my system. I don't t... | |
| Getting lossless Apple Music to my dac According to the 5200's DAC1 specs, the USB input handles PCM-based digital music files up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD files up to 11.2 MHz. What are the details on your lossless files, and what about your laptop's capabilities lead you to believe i... | |
| Balanced tube amp for $200 You might try searching over on headfi.org where there is a greater focus on headphones and associated gear like headphone amps. | |
| New and improved Diamond Back Oil!!! Regardless of male/female ends, I'd still like see directional arrows at that price. | |
| The magic of outdoor listening Seems like a good way to enjoy music if you have the luxury of acreage to avoid being a nuisance to neighbors. Unfortunately, I live in city adjacent suburbia and am subjected to noise pollution on a daily basis. Mostly barking dogs and leaf blowe... | |
| Upgrade from KEF 107.2 > Sophia or Andra I once owned the KEF reference 107. It may be difficult to find a modern speaker that can match the effortless bass weight and integration as well as that dual 10" design. If you want to avoid subs, the Andra is probably a better choice, or poss... | |
| Prima Luna have released the Kracken (striketrough) I mean DAC Apologies to rixthetrick for the thread derail. I originally jumped in here as I was considering the Primaluna DAC at one time. @erictal4075 , I own the L2 May DAC, and despite the original buyers guilt of dropping $5k on a dac, I don't regret it... |
