| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Alpha, these are all good points however, your electronics might have favored the Wilsons over the Focal Lascala. Also the Focals of today sound way better then the earlier versions of these speakers same with the Wilsons. It is also possible that... | |
| Denafrips Terminator vs other dacs We would have you also look at the T+A DAC 8 DSD which is one of Audiostreams top recommendations.The DAC 8 DSD when fed with Quad Rate DSD files was found to compete with the Total Dac and DCS Rossini Dacs which are both 4-5 times the price of th... | |
| Rega P8 with Alpheta 2? Gphill,The Alphetta will smooth out after really about 20 hours of use and get a bit better after that.The speed, articulation and sheer musicality of this combination and ease of setup and use makes the P8/Alphetta 2 such a fantastic package.Dave... | |
| Raidho TD1.2 opinions? Yes we know. Thanks for correcting it. | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? Thank you Emcdade a voice of reason.We are not against the PS audio Direct Stream, but we have seen this behavior before, where a product didn’t perform correctly or didn’t sound as good as it should, and then was magically fixed via a firmware up... | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? Tell the boat anchor to tbe Perfect Wave guys through the magic of firmware did tbe Perfect Wave magically morph into the Direct Stream?No different hardware.Direct Stream to Direct Stream verson 2 seems like also a hardware change will be require... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal mpstein there is no issue with Mac powering Wilsons, Mac will power any speaker, the issue is sonic matching.With Mcintosh the Focals or Ushers would sound more lively.Dave and TroyAudio Doctor NJ | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Rbstehn, we were Usher dealers for quite a number of years the BE 10 and BE 20 were excellent, they would be outclassed by some of the newer loudspeakers currently on the market but boy were they good for the time. Part of the issue was the speake... | |
| Raidho TD1.2 opinions? Have to agree with Contuzzi,Heard the Radihos and the big Bortossens, The newer Rahidos, were more balanced and more dynamic then previous versions. Loved the big Bortossens, just were not impressed enough at $120k a pair. The other $30k speakers... | |
| Raidho TD1.2 opinions? Validpoint,The Radihos are very good but tend to be super dependent on matching gear. You may want to check out a few of their competitors which have similar levels of clarity, cost less and are also extremely good.Check out the TAD Me1 ... | |
| Used DACs in the 10k range smodocatal, checked out your preamp. Looks impressive but we would still recommend adding a tube preamp to the Bryston.The Byston amplifiers are clean but very dry sounding, hence a tube preamp really makes them come alive.Here is the order of imp... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Sfseay, Wilson speakers the current iterations are sounding way better than previous generations, so really don't understand your comment.We are concerned that the OP's Mac gear will not sound optimum on the Wilson's which tend to sound a bit mor... | |
| Used DACs in the 10k range Sim,Based on your system first question which preamp are you using?One before I would even entertain getting a dac I would borrow a Innous Zenith and see how much better the Denefrips would sound when being fed an optomized signal.As other people ... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal Brskie, that is true, in terms of Tidal. VImberg will be at more dealers and they are a separate franchise. We are talking with Wynn Audio to be the New York/NJ representative for Vimberg. We would then have Legacy, Paraigm, Kef, and Vimberg as ou... | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? Aolmrd,Please answer the questions raised, does DCS, Chord, MSB, Esoteric or other major leaders in the field of high end digital have constant "new and supposedly better sounding upgrades" happening every six months or so?Please refute the point ... |
