| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? I liked the PS AUDIO BK250 as well. Like it so much I bought another and now vertically biamp. It imparts of bit of tube sound, but has a solid state output stage. I find it to be a nice compromise. I have the F208s but they are not hooked up t... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 bypassing my preamp despite setting to fixed volume out I don't have experience with that unit, but I would check to see if only one output from it can be bypassed. I had a device once that had one specific output that could be set to unity gain. | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. I think the demographics would be the same 20 years ago and in 20 years. When I was younger I was out doing active stuff and disposable income was spent on kids and pay off debt. | |
| Six DAC Comparison Having just read this thread, it seems as if many comments are responding to the wrong thread. @mitch2 Thanks for spending the time and effort to provide your listening impressions. I have a DAC3 that you are listening to and am interested to... | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! Benchmark AHB2 brings out details in music that most people will never here. As @ghdprentice mentioned, it can be too much of a good thing. I took his advice and brought in amps that are more emotionally engaging to me. | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. Can anyone comment on why these pavers (or similar) would be causing sibilance? I am always trying to improve the upper frequencies which sometime trouble me. I know my speakers are not traditionally fixed to my floor with the supplied isolator ... | |
| Toe in is crucial @hsbrock I suppose it depends on how one interprets the term point source. While a singer themselves are a point source, when I listen to performances the sound radiate outward and will reflect in the room. By the time it hits me some distance... | |
| Decisions, decisions, decisions Get the Vanders. They will sound great with what you have and next year you can shop used for an amp that will take them to the next level. It takes years to build the system up so no rush. If you buy based what is best for your weakest link cu... | |
| What’s your opinion about Dali speakers? I have listened to their lower level speakers a few time and felt they were fine. Not great but not grabbing my attention. A couple weekends ago I listed to the EpiKore 11 supported by VTL monoblocks and I was very impressed. Great bass control, a... | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use @thegreenline I have a question. If you use the same DAC (best on you have), can you tell the difference between the two different pre-amps? Which one do you prefer? What is the history of the RP1 - new or used, how old is it? I would thin... | |
| Toe in is crucial Everyone should try with less toe in as part of the adjustment. I prefer a wider soundstage, with the central image still maintained. I have listened to several systems with so much toe in, the soundstage is lost and the singer sounds like a poi... | |
| Those magical days when the HVAC is off Same here. I shut down all the ac systems when I listen. I don't know if it is the sound from air through the vents or noise on the AC lines. Big difference. Same as GHD, I cool down (or heat) the house before listening then shut it all down. | |
| Aurender Conductor V4 and Qobuz phone app don't match I had playlist issues but those were all resolved with an update about 2 months. Power down the aurender device too restart it. If still having issues, contact aurender. | |
| Aurender Conductor V4 and Qobuz phone app don't match Similar to what @tvad said, I would update the operating system on both devices. Delete C4 from both devices, shut down both and reboot. Then reinstall C4 on both devices and log in. Make sure both are the same log in and PW. If that does not... | |
| why expensive streamers @mdalton I understand what you are saying. I don’t have all the answers. My bias was that the N150 would sound the same for all the reasons expressed and that was my technical opinion as well. Beyond that I did not want to spend the extra money f... |
