| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 The built-in streamer inside Meitner MA3 is actually quite good. Unless you're going for high-dollar streamers (think > $10K), you would be hard pressed to find an improvement. I recently bought an MA3 and took it to a friend's house who has al... | |
| speakers for small room Which Accuphase? Maybe try a more powerful amp. The P3esr’s love power. | |
| Let's Talk DAC's @jeffrey125 LessLoss was high on my priority list when I was shopping for another DAC. Ended up going with Meitner MA3 since I found the built-in streamer to be as good as my previous Innuos Zenith. The DAC is phenomenal. But I still wish I had a ... | |
| Let's Talk DAC's I have a feeling, the tvrgreek character is old wine in a new bottle. cindy met anyone? @thyname can probably see right through him. | |
| One key to building great systems over time. I think what the OP is saying is to buy the best you can afford. And if you can't, save up for a little bit longer instead of going after the next 'giant killer'. Don't think his point was to buy uber expensive systems. | |
| How do you add color? @mahgister Reaching balance is a complex problems in all working embeddings dimensions and begin with the right or wrong synergy... It is not easy to figure it out, it was not for me... Agreed. There's no compression algorithm for experience.... | |
| How do you add color? @hilde45 I have also been told by a good friend that 6SN7 based preamps are the way to go. I'll be researching a few preamps and will definitely keep this in mind. | |
| How do you add color? @lalitk -- well, I do hold you partly responsible for my affliction :) But in all seriousness, listening to your well-thought out, well-put together system was a great learning experience for me. I had listened to several systems at various deale... | |
| How do you add color? @roxy54 I think that speakers or electronics that portray timbre and texture well are perceived by the mind as "colorful." Well said! It took me many years and lots of changes to reach the same conclusion. Like everyone else, I was more into ... | |
| How do you add color? In hindsight, perhaps the choice of the term ’color’ was a wrong one to start with. The term might imply some sort of artificial sweetness or making the sound unnatural. That was not what I was aiming for. I started to write my response but then I... | |

| Full range stand mounted speakers Harbeth 40.2 or 40.3. They put many full range floorstanders to shame. | |
| Aurender A20 or Lumin X1 If Roon is a must for you, then it's simple -- pick Lumin. If not, flip a coin. They're both excellent companies with an established track record. The differences in SQ will be negligible and down to personal preferences. P.S. Or you can wait unt... | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 One of the few reviews on H590 which is not all that favorable. He is one of a very tiny list of reviewers I find credible. Was surprised to hear his take on the amp https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YpA_FerzRkY | |
