| Emotiva Repair The XPR amp line was a misstep by Emotiva (besides Carver, Sherbourne and the UMC-1 disaster).The XPR line was too heavy, needed 20 amp outlets and was obviously done without much in the way of market research. They’d dream up an idea, then get th... | |
| adcom equipment..... Well I’m currently after an Adcom 565SE, Nelson Pass notwithstanding. Problem is, it’s on the other side of the country, and the seller would prefer to keep it local.I’ve told him to let me know if he decides to ship. He’s got the shipping box b... | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? And that does not a consensus make. I feel like you're going to insist that it does, so...Wildly different price points, wildly different design types and brands and... my post was merely a light hearted observation. | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? Okay, let me get this straight. So there's no consensus in a cable thread?! | |
| Integrated under $2000 for Focal Aria 926s Why do an integrated when you can go with separates? The Schiit Audio Freya+ and Vidar. $1600 plus shipping, or substitute the Freya S and knock $300 off the price. This combo will slay the Parasound Hint. | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? Yeah, the Wireworld Eclipse 8 would be a solution, but they are around $1500, not sure what the OP's budget was. | |
| Schiit Freya S or Freya +? I totally agree with your assessment, though I recently picked up the Freya +. "I haven't enjoyed a piece of equipment this much in a long time". I too found that it needed to burn in a bit, somewhere after the 50 hr mark depth to the soundstag... | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? Hmm. I believe Nordost has the rep of tending to be forward or bright. Silver plated conductors, of that which Nordost leans heavily, can be "bright". I'd suggest cables that do not have silver content, such as Wireworld Eclipse 8. They are a ... | |
| tube rolling with Schiit Freya + I googled Had Firebottle tube amp, it seems quite exclusive? Made by one of the major dudes from Cary Audio or something like that. 5 watts per channel of class A. Quite an interesting piece for sure.I'm guessing you're using it with the Freya... | |
| tube rolling with Schiit Freya + I can update my findings on the heat issue as well. The Freya + isn’t heating up as much now, it still gets pretty warm, but not as much as previously. I have it on its own shelf of an open unit with about 6 inches of space above it.Reading up on... | |
| Should I sell my accuphase for this schiit I would suggest that the ascend acoustics sierra 2ex are on the inefficient side, so that may be a consideration. I found the Sierra 2 a little boring, I guess I prefer a little more personality in my speakers, Ascend usually voices their speaker... | |
| tube rolling with Schiit Freya + I should add that I went over my notes and I only had about 55 hours on the Freya at the time of my last post. I just noticed tonight as I’m closing in on 70 hours that the jfet buffer mode is starting to have more depth to the soundstage than t... | |
| Tekton DI's or Klipsch Forte III That’s all well and good, but you need the speakers in your room connected to your system to get an accurate picture of what they sound like. | |
| Tekton DI's or Klipsch Forte III Millercarbon sounds really enthusiastic about Tekton, but I’ll beg to differ that you can get an accurate idea on how a speaker sounds with YouTube videos, there’s just too many variables.the only way to get an accurate picture is to have the spe... | |
| Tekton DI's or Klipsch Forte III I have heard neither, though done some reading on both at different times as I mulled over my own speaker change decisions. Just today I heard a Youtube review on the Tekton DI by Thomas & stereo. He really likes the DI, but says they wouldn’t... |
