| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? In my opinion Joseph Audio and Kef reference are safe bets, I ordered both without listening and they’re great | |
| Chord DAVE DAC Not heard the Dave, but I read a lot of reviews and ended up getting the Holo May KTE. It’s the most perfect sounding dac I’ve heard, and if you look at what others saying, who heard both, it beats the Dave. For the price of the Dave you can get m... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ I fully agree with the treatment, it made a big difference to my listening experience. about vocals I wouldn’t worry, they are the best I’ve heard on Pulsar, I imagine the same for Perspective :) Best is to go listen to them, and in case they do... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ I use Pulsar 2, and had been running them on a PrimaLuna Evo400i. now so moved to Feliks Envy preamp into a Benchmark AHB2 power amp. I believe they moved up to a whole other level in precision, especially bass, imaging, instrument separation, e... | |
| Better R2R DAC Recommendation? I did a lot online research on this topic and ended up with Holo Spring 3 vs Holo May, decided to go for the May. If my budget was 2k I’d look for a used Spring 3. | |
| Primaluna? @brylandgoodman if you’ve exhausted speaker positioning and still can’t get the bass you desire, you could try adding 2x subwoofers in the two opposite corners of the rooms, this can work magic according to people who use this setup. I had a lot o... | |
| Primaluna? @brylandgoodman those are all fair points! It’s unfortunately quite human to assume people around you know and understand topics on a similar level. When you’re good at something it comes easy and natural and it’s hard to realize that others might... | |
| Primaluna? @upscaleaudio Kevin, you convinced me when I bought the PL, now I was looking into changing to Decware SET, and you’re convincing me to stay! It’s hard in this hobby to stick to something that works, when you keep reading about other stuff, that y... | |
| Primaluna? @aberyclark absolutely, that’s how I use it. It’s better for the looks and for heat dissipation! I listen in the dark, and I enjoy tremendously the warm glow of the tubes. I have the black and I love the looks :-) | |
| Primaluna? @nquery what do you mean, which one sounds better? | |
| Primaluna? I have an Evo400i, I immediately replaced the stock tubes with NOS Philips EL34. I got a matched set of 2x4 for around $1200. After a few weeks one tube blew. I got worried so I took the bottom of the amp off and measured the voltages for each tub... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Thanks! I was SET on the Decware SE84UFO25, but still not sure. It uses neither of those typical tubes. The Audiophiliac liked it with the CW4. The Feliks 300B seems also quite good. Hard choices:) | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @wrm57 very cool, thanks for sharing! Could you let us know which 300B are you using? I’m guessing not all 300B are equal:-) | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV The new Tannoy Cheviot! I really did not enjoy them, hard to explain why. There was a lot missing in the mids and highs, wasn’t for my taste. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV If I was in the USA I would ask for a good deal and probably get away with 4500+tax for Cornwall IV, however in Switzerland you pay 8k. That’s why I wanted to test them but were too big for my car. I ended up testing them in a demo room, together ... |
