| My impressions of the much Hyped LAIV Harmony DAC (I ordered one and Listened to it.) @thecarpathian the problem with Laiv is that it’s a Chinese company. And that’s why it’s judged by a different set of standards. | |
| The verdict - Burmester 232 is worth MUCH MUCH MUCH more than its price!!! McCombs should consider offering a course in humility. | |
| The verdict - Burmester 232 is worth MUCH MUCH MUCH more than its price!!! lol | |
| The verdict - Burmester 232 is worth MUCH MUCH MUCH more than its price!!! One has to join the Burmester facebook group to see your system pics. I don’t think most people are willing to join another group just to be able to see the pics. Better to create a virtual system on audiogon. | |
| Single driver full range speakers @pindac I couldn't agree with you more. I also chuckled when I read the assertion that "most of them [single driver speakers] don't sound very good once the listener gets past the honeymoon phase." It's amusing how audiophiles love to make such d... | |
| Do Harbeth speakers really need a 4000 damping factor? Except for the ‘all amps are the same crowd”, this should not be news to anyone. Harbeth speakers like solid state amplification. When I had the 40.2s, my best combo was a tube preamp paired with an SS amp. Best of both worlds. | |
| Is Burmester 232 worth the price? Tough crowd. Happy for the OP. Burmester makes some excellent equipment. Of course, you’re paying a lot for the looks, build quality, and German engineering. I suspect OP will be moving up the speaker food chain in the not so distant future 😊 | |
| Experience with SoulNote Dac2? @zlone Your description of the Meitner sounds a lot like Merason, I would be a little worried it would not be a significant change. I never thought I would say it, but I think I want a bit more edge, but certainly not bright. I owned Meitner... | |
| Single driver full range speakers It is not easy to manufacture a single driver speaker to properly address the unique demands and challenges inherent in this topology. Prior to German Physiks, I tried Omega and Ohm at home. I listened to Liisong and MBL in my friends' systems. Wi... | |
| Single driver full range speakers I bought a pair of German Physiks Unicorn II speakers a few months ago. They are the ugliest best sounding speakers I've eve owned, and I've owned quite a few. The omni-directional DDD driver is something to behold. The bass reproduction is fantas... | |
| Audio Mirror WAVE Tube Preamplifier and Addiction SET amplifiers - AUDITION REVIEW Reading between the lines, it sounds like Lamm is still the superior option and more of an all rounder. | |
| Denafrips offer to replace my faulty Pontus 15th, for a replacement fee? After Vinshine/Alvin stopped being the distributors for Denafrips, I wouldn't touch that brand with a 50 foot pole. OP’s experience further solidified my resolve. | |
| ??? Axxess Audio Forte 1??? @freediver Sorry I don't frequent this site regularly and just saw your question. I don't know what the reviewers are saying but I can only share my impressions here. IMO, the biggest difference is transparency and soundstage depth/layering. I fo... | |
| ??? Axxess Audio Forte 1??? I had the U-280, which as far as class D amps go, was one of the best amps I owned. I heard the Axxess Forte at a dealer and was very underwhelmed. It’s not in the same league as the Aavik amps that’s for sure. | |
| Buckeye Amps musicality? Not measurements, musicality.... Go ahead get that class D and get it out of your system. |
