| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 @jjss49 Harbeth 40.x are most likely going to be my endgame speakers. I've only heard them twice but they left a lasting impression on me. It's everything I love about Harbeth but several orders of magnitude better than other models in the lineup. | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno I'm assuming you're interested in bookshelves ... in this case, please check out Fritz Carrera BE speakers. They are phenomenal for all genres but especially excel at rock and techno. You'd be surprised the amount of taut bass these speakers can p... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 This also shows that the Carrerra BE's can easily be driven by low wattage amps and not lose most of their magic. If anyone wants to experiment with low-wattage or SET amps, these speakers will not disappoint. I can't believe the amount of tight a... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 I finally decided that the Fritz speakers are just too good not to keep. I know it’s not a big name brand like Harbeth or other speakers, but after trying a number of bookshelf speakers over the last 5-7 years, the value the Carrera BEs provide is... | |
| Denafrips Ares II - Why did you sell? I think it’s one of the best dacs anywhere near its price point. I’ve had many dacs in the last 3 years and the Ares II can stand on its own again dacs up to $2k. I only sold mine because I had unexpected and hefty water damage repair bills to... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 I want to be clear that the reason I'm selling the Fritz speakers has nothing to do with its performance or any shortcomings -- none whatsoever. I still believe that this is an awesome, balanced, and modern speaker that can stand toe to toe with a... | |
| How do you make a final decision on a DAC After trying a number of DACs - Chord Qutest (owned), Topping D90 (owned), Luxman DA-06 (owned), Audio Mirror Tubador III (owned), T+A DAC 200 (auditioned at home), Border Patrol (borrowed), Audio Research (GSi75 built-in DAC) and a few others -- ... | |
| HiFi Rose RS250 I did buy the 150B. Unbelievable unit. Surpassed all my expectations and no longer need to follow the Musetec stand alone DAC train. How is that possible? From what I've been hearing the Musetec DAC is a better DAC than almost anything else in ... | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 Audio Hungary x200 or a20i | |
| Holo may lte vs denafrips terminator 2 vs musetec da005 OP: depending on your preferences, you can be equally happy with either one. I like the R2R sound signature (especially when running in NOS mode) so I went with Terminator II. I had auditioned a number of DACs before settling on this one, and I'm ... | |
| Any good video sites out there? If the original (now deleted) thread was implying that Jay (Jay's Audio Lab) engages in hyperbole and sensationalism, then I have yet to witness it. I will admit two things though: his youtube titles can be described as hyperbolic sometimes but I ... | |
| I am so happy..... @cakyol [ However, the aptx-hd codec with bluetooth sounds great to me already. And to top that, the LGv60 has already a great DAC in it which I sometimes feed DIRECTLY into my Freya from the LG's headphone output. To tell you the truth, at my a... | |
| I am so happy..... With bluetooth, you're leaving so much on the table. The truth is that you don't even have to spend a lot to get significantly, and I mean SIGNIFICANTLY, better SQ than bluetooth can ever offer. As an example, an ifi Zen streamer for $399 will off... | |
| I met this guy in a hotel room.... I own the Fritz Carrera BE speakers that replaced Harbeth M30.1 in my home office system. You won't find a better bookshelf speaker for anything in the ~3K price range. It has such a balanced presentation from top to bottom that it's hard to find ... | |
| Optical vs Ultra Rendu. @audioman58 -- you don't need two opticalRendus. You can get the opticalRendu bundle (which gives you everything you need to set it up) for under $1700. I'm not sure why you think you need two opticalRendus. I have only one in my system and it is ... |
