| Audio Physic Virgo I (or Virgo II): still considered a very good or great speaker? The Virgo’s are still amazing speakers. Pair them with a good tube amp (highly recommend MasterSound Compact 845) and they’ll disappear and will give you goosebumps | |
| Integrated that blew you away For solid state, Luxman 590axii (and the 595 SE) for tubes, and my absolute favorite, MadterSound Compact 845. It’s an absolute champion of portraying “live” putting you right in the middle of the performance. Eerie real!!!! | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? Listening to a Lampizator Big7 right now and this is a pretty special DAC. Might be what I’ve been looking for. Time will tell! | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? @jk_richards i might very well do that no matter what I do. | |
| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair If you want holographic, there's none better than PureAudioProject. Connect them to a decent power tube amp (I'm using MasterSound Compact 845 with Trio15Classic) | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? Regarding the T+A DAC200.. I don't think the preamp is defeatable and I have no use of a preamp (the MasterSound Compact 845 is an integrated amp). | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? @hilde45 We're in complete agreement. But I'm not going to argue against someone that thinks all DAC's sound the same. It's their opinion and I will just leave it at that. | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? @texasblues1959 Just like there's people saying you can't hear the difference between cables, or between amps for that matter... everyone's entitled to their opinion. | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? Regarding Holo Audio Dac's... I listened to the May KTE and although nice, it wasn't much of an improvement from my modded PSA DirectStream; different yes, but not necessarily better in all regards. @soix I'm not sure about the Mojo... PCM onl... | |
| New DAC, what should I look for? @steakster The router is a Silent Angel Bonn with a dedicated power supply (HDPlex). All ethernet cables are AudioQuest. Power conditioning is done by PSA PowerPlant 12. | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? I think I've reached the end point at least a dozen times. Ever time I think "this is it" an itch to try something different develops. It's an illness, but a fun one at that! | |
| List Of Small Company Tube Amps Mastersound, a small Italian company. Each amp is hand built by one person and they’re designed with a very clear and concise philosophy, no feedback and clear, clean tube sound. | |
| 12au7 tube? @thecarpathian a d just as I thought I had the perfect tube you come up with the RCA’s… :-) | |
| 12au7 tube? Best combination has turned out to be Melz 1587 and La Radiotechnique 12AU7WA. The perfect combination of air, details, natural sound (and never edgy or dull) and a soundstage that is unbelievably awesome! | |
| This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity? Closest to what you’re describing. 3.5w goes much further than you might think… https://www.zuaudio.com/loudspeakers/p/mb1 |
