| Accuphase Experiences Thanks for circling back on this. Subsequent to posting, I've picked up an Accuphase C-57 phono stage, which has proven to be downright revelatory, paired with my Pure Fidelity Harmony Mk2 and Hana Umami Red. I'm now saving up for the E-5000, and ... | |
| Accuphase Experiences Thought I’d revive this thread, as I’m considering a move from my much-loved Prima Luna Evo 300 Integrated ’Floyd’ (rolled with NOS 1960s RCA 12 AU7s) to the Accuphase E-5000. Speakers are YG Carmel 3, which run 87dB sensitivity, so I know I’d ben... | |
| Upgrading streamer transport Lumin U2X Vs. Aurender N20 I also don't want to stray too far afield from the OP, but am wondering if anyone's had a chance to do some critical listening on the Innuos Stream 3. We carry other, earlier Innuos products at Alma Music + Audio (Sterling, VA and San Diego, CA), ... | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear Enthusiastically representing Switzerland, we (Alma Music + Audio https://almaaudio.com) also carry the full Stenheim line of speakers and the absurdly good Nagra line of electronics. And let's not forget the incredible Vinnie Rossi, from the Peop... | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear I would add Java Hi-Fi, which is from New Zealand. We carry their most excellent & high bang-for-the-buck integrated amps at Alma Audio, and really like 'em a lot. https://almaaudio.com/collections/java-hi-fi | |
| Upcoming Concerts?! https://forum.audiogon.com/users/maskmann That's a killer line-up! | |
| Upcoming Concerts?! I was thinking of starting a thread with this theme -- thanks for beating me to it! Here's the line-up so far: Cowbow Junkies at The Birchmere (@feldmen4, perhaps I'll see you there) Jenny Scheinman / All Species Parade at National Gallery West ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @wig I finally got to spend some time with the Merason MkII DAC, and have to say that it is, as @mitch2 reports, a real winner. While I didn’t do a side-by-side with my Mojo Mystique X ’24, and the associated gear in our shop (Alma Music + Audio i... | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup After many years (decades, really) of being a dedicated solid state guy, a few years ago, I took the plunge and picked up a Prima Luna Evo 300 Integrated Floyd. After about a year, I got curious, and rolled the very respectable stock 12AU7 tubes t... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Don has certainly described the Mojo X '24 experience far better than I could've, but so far -- and he's a good bit further along on burn-in than I am -- his words echo my own experience to the letter. | |
| Six DAC Comparison @bluethinker , while we haven't received the Mearason in the shop yet (we're still recovering from having five ( ! ) rooms at Capital Audio Fest), the Mojo X '24 is up at around 150 hours now, and is definitely a keeper. While I don't have anywher... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Thanks @bluethinker; I'll do so, for sure. And my workaround for the Rose is simply to use the RCA coax output (Rose) to it's mate on the Mojo, and run my transport through AES to the corresponding Mojo port. And yes @devinplombier, I meant to say... | |
| Six DAC Comparison While I’m very happy with my Merason Dac1 MKii for the moment, I’m intrigued by the Mojo dacs based on your review. @bluethinker, I'm very keen on doing a side-by-side comparo with the Mearason, and we should be getting one in the shop (Alm... | |
| Six DAC Comparison A quick update to my HiFi Rose 150B / Mojo X ’24 post, above. After much back and froth [sp. intentional] with Benjamin and a fair bit of additional research on my part, it appears that the Rose’s manual at 3.5 Connection Between USB 3.0 Audio Out... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Anyone using the Mojo Mystique know what USB receiver it uses ? According to Benjamin, "we are using one of the most common XMOS USB input receivers." |
