Dan D'agostino Momentum Integrated amp
to Jwmazur,I am an Electrocompaniet dealer and I am curious to the rest of the system those amps were hooked up to.We use the Electrocompaniet AW 400 mono blocks with a Conrad Johhson ART preamp with Enklein cables on the KEF Blades and the sound ... 
Once again, impressed by NAD
The other conclusion is that the Pass integrated is not as good as you thoughtoryour systems resolution is in some way compromised.I would look at your various interconnects, are they of good quality are they matched. With an $7k integrated your i... 
Raidho X-1
Actually wrong concerning the REL there is no crossover, you run the speakers used with the REls as full range speakers, and the Rel derives its in comming singnal via the speaker level inputs, a proper Rel setup use only the crossover in the woof... 
Raidho X-1
Great small speakers for great small speakers. Personally I would not recommend using such a setup for such a large room, you have three big problems:1: Small Raidho speakers can not play loud enough for such a large room.2: If you use a crossover... 
Raidho X-1
Great small speaker which sounds like a great small speaker, total mistake, given your room size, You need a much larger full range speaker with bass augmentation. It is a mistake to think that just because you have subwoofers you can achieve a se... 
Jc1 is good match to Sasha?
Yes and no, the JC 1 can drive the Sasha's easily, however, the JC 1 is a very good amplifier not a great one, and the speakers deserve way better amplifiers. I would also upgrade the CJ Act to a newer Cj they sound way better then the older models.

Chord Hugo ?
We got in a Hugo and did a listening test of the Hugo vs some of the other dacs, results, Hugo great $2k dac, very good headphone amplifier, if you are looking for state of the art for under $5k the Auralic Vega is very hard to beat. We are gettin...

KEF Blade2
As a Kef Blade dealer, I can give you the full scoop, exact same sound just slightly smaller soundstage and less bass at $6k cheaper.If you love the Blades and have a smaller room perfect compromise 
New OPPO DAC/Headphone AMP looks impressive
You can't compare a Chord Hugo to anything Oppo makes1: The Chord uses a proprietary Fully Programmable Gate Array running an advanced Watts time array filtering program that took over 10 years to design, program and refinevsThe Oppos uses an off ... 
DACS that don't do DSD - obsolete?
Dear Larrybou,This is a ridiculous argument, just because a dac can or can't do DSD is hardly a reason for not buying it, you buy a DAC because it sounds great period!It is of course nice to have a dac which can do DSD but to automatically say tha... 
Tidal Piano Cera or Magico S3
I would recommend your friend should listen to the KEF Blades as well, the Blades are an amazing speaker for the money and will outperform the Magicos. They will not have as much treble resolution as the Diamond based Tidals but other than that it... 
$8000 budget on Pre-amp
A shocking preamp and I mean shocking how good, is the Manley 300B which carves out space better than any preamp solid state or tube, greater warmth then the ARC stuff, with a great sense of flow, and it is very involving and you can get a brand n...
