| Does Qobuz work Qobuz sound quality is definitely the best out there imho. However, their search, I have found to be inadequate at best. Cancelling my recurring membership has proven to be impossible. | |
| Need some help picking my first MC Cartridge Don’t mean to confuse this anymore than it is, but for $1500 I would suggest the Audio Note IQ3 MM cart. Can’t be beat for the money IMO.I believe you would need to spend a lot more in MC territory to get to the level you can with this MM cart. | |
| Pass Labs Speaker Choices Pass Labs uses Tannoy’s for critical listening for the development of their amps. I had an INT60 with Tannoy Yorkminsters and really liked how it played. | |
| Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60 I have an INT60 which is just a fantastic integrated. I decided to get it over the INT25 because of the balanced inputs and also preamp Out and power amp Input which the INT 25 doesn’t have. I plan to play with some tube preamps to see if I prefe... | |

| Oppo Ceasing production I can’t help but wonder if this is the result of the impending tariff war between the US and China / Parent company and subsidiary. Likely not the only reason but maybe the final nail in the coffin. I will miss them but hope that this void gets fi... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 (Not the OP but thought I would chime in)I use my AN 3.1 balanced for master quality Tidal and it sounds much better than any of the red book cds I play. With this DAC, supposedly everything gets squashed down to 16/44.1, but it will still play 24... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Jozurr,I have compared my AN 3.1 balanced to my Oppo BDP105D modded by EVS. The mods made a huge improvement over the stock unit but, in the end, the AN just had a more real, “being there” sound, at least to me. I would listen to the AN if possibl... | |
