| Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8 IMO the HiFi Rose 150b is better than the Eversolo as both a stand-alone and as a streamer only. For some folks not 5x better, but in my system it just has a more relaxed immersive feel than the Eversolo. The Eversolo has a nice soundstage (as d... | |
| Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8 @jjss49 Curious if you have any updates to share. I've got the basic version and have compared it to the HiFi Rose 150b as both a stand-alone unit and as a streamer only, I'm also going to compare it to my Optical Rendu as a streamer and also to... | |
| Eversolo DMP A6 I've been playing with the base unit for a few days and think it's really good. I haven't heard everything at its price point but given its feature set, ease of use, and sound quality I imagine it measures up favorably with anything in its range.... | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm @phantom_av I know that's a combo that the good Dr. has installed many times. Everyone I know has been happy with this arm and on a pretty wider variety of tables. Enjoy!! | |
| New KEF R11 META : The Real Giant Killers ! Seriously, why post a freakin video by Andrew Robinson as proof of anything? There are tons of folks who love the KEF sound and nearly as many who don't. There are a s$%^ ton of speakers at $6K, the R11s are hardly a giant killer. | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @mc1969 Clearly you don't understand what putting quotes around a word means. The Technics is a GaN FET amp as opposed to so much in this thread which is not. | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? I've got a Technics SU-R1000 which I think is pretty brilliant and is the first "digital" amp that I have really liked. I also had its baby brother in to play with for a couple of weeks and thought that was excellent as well. I had a NAD M33 for... | |
| Sonore OpticalRendu Yeah, I own the Optical Rendu and the Deluxe Optical Module and agree they are excellent. I have added a little augmentation with the power supplies (I'm using ones from Linear Tube Audio) but I understand that there are excellent options availab... | |
| DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest? These two are a lot of "apples and oranges". In MY system, the Border Patrol is the pretty clear winner over the Qutest (and yes, I've owned them both). I really enjoyed the Qutest when I dumped my Ayre Codex about three years ago. All the thing... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 Hi Milpai, first I want to know which NOS Mazda's you are using with your Backert? I've got a Rythm 1.3 and have some tubes that Andy sent me which I like but love to tinker sometimes. Next, I want to recommend the Maerason DAC1. In my rig (McG... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev If you are interested in trying the Purple Fuse on the Innuous, here is their link for changing fuses. https://innuos.com/kb/replacing-the-fuse-on-innuos-products/ Also, I think Marten speakers recommend Jorma cables, so Marten dealers w... | |
| Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge For a point of reference, my other in-house speakers (in addition to Harbeth) are Volti Rivals, Fleetwood Deville SQs, and Studio Electric M4s. If someone finds the 30.2s boring there is something else amiss in their system. | |
| Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge Sounds like LarryI works at Deja Vu, a shop that focuses a lot of its business on Audio Note. I owned the AN-Js for about three years, and now have a pair of 30.2s in-house. I think they have pretty different sound signatures. As LarryI intimat... | |
| Technics SU-R1000 - Good but not the king of switching amps I had the G700M2 for 30 days last year and agree about how good it is. In audio, you are always chasing the last 10-15% and that's the case here. Quoting the maker of some extremely expensive high-end speakers about the R-1000 vs the G700MK2, "I... | |
| Fee for home audition Find another dealer. There are lots of other options out there. Before I bought an integrated from Linear Tube Audio, I tested all three of their integrated amps in my house, with no charge or deposit. Same with a Naim Uniti Atom, HiFi Rose 150... |
