| Quad Z-2 Opinions Man, thats a tough choice. I’ve personally looked at both. The wharfedale evo 4.3 is just a tad more than the quads... | |
| ATC SCM 40 mk2 vs Salk Song3 Encore Its only a lot of money to you. Your source and dac are very important. Crap in crap out.I know theres a difference between a $200 dac, a $500 dac and a $1500 dac because I’ve heard it with my own ears, which happen to be far more exceptional th... | |
| ATC SCM 40 mk2 vs Salk Song3 Encore I meant to mention it earlier to you tgat the ATC’s are power hungry but your amp should be fine. I drove ghe Atc Scm7 v2 to satisfying volume levels with slightly less power than you. I would have ket the scm7’s but they just didn’t have enough... | |
| Vintage KEF vs new Salk The crossover situation is actually easy.e-mail kef and ask for crossover schematics. They’re fgreat about that.then e-mail the schematics to madisound and they’ll give you a quote. You can usually, easily, swap crossovers out yourself.Still, if... | |
| Vintage KEF vs new Salk Your Kefs have a very full, laid back sound. They were and still are very nice speakers but I’d sell them and buy something like the Salks, which should offer more clarity, more of an open sound and possibly tighter bass. The problem I have with... | |
| Best value IEM phones for travel use from Android. I wanted to plug Periodic Audio. They have 4 different models. Ti, Ceramic, Beryllium and Carbon. $100,$200,$300,$400. I have the Berylliums and they are really nice. Easy load to drive too. They sound great just off my iphone and even better... | |
| CD Review Thanks! Will look into it as well 😁 | |
| Speaker size and room interaction I wasusing the S3 with Totem Arros. Horrible choice. With just one click on the volume, it would go from too soft to too loud.Don’t get me wrong, the S3 is awesome and superior to the t5i but not in my room. I bought the S3 new from magnolia fo... | |

| Best options for active speakers $4k or below? Dynaudio Focus 20 XD or Devialey Phantoms. I’ve owned LS50W’s and 3 friends own them based on my recommendations. You’ll def want to pair it with a bluesound node 2i because the app on the LS50W’s is awful. The remote control is awful too and w... | |
| Speaker upgrade question. Marc,$3-$6k is a wide spread, and a good chunk of change. You’ll want to use some of that on upgrading your dac and possibly your pre amp and amp as well. | |
| So what ever happened to Kinki Studio??? @jackd how does the Kinki pair with the Fritz Carrera BE? What other amps have you used with the Fritz Carrera BE’s and which was your favorite?I was close to pulling the Trigger on a Kinki but other financial responsibilities came up. Still cur... | |
| Speaker upgrade question. Hi Marc! So you have a pretty sweet little set-up. I think your amp is nice enough that you can upgrade your speakers and get something that sounds different than what you have. You need to let us know your source, dac, room size, listening pre... | |
| Cheap/Fun experiment - Record your listening I’ve actually already done this a bunch of times! I’ll record the same song on various systems as well, to compare.For playback, I use an audioquest red dragonfly, jitterbug, and periodic audio beryllium iems.What might be interesting is if we pi... | |
| Seas Thors New Xovers Madisound The way you are tossing around cash, e-mail gik with pics and room dimensions. They’ll get you set up right. Your setup is awesome and you have some unlocked potential with room treatments.I love Seas Excel as well. They are some of my favorite... |
