| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? @jackhifiguy You do you. If the ASR crowd makes you happy, hang there. | |
| Magico A1 or Sopra 1 or Marten Oscar Duo Having heard them all--1) Marten, 2) Focal, 3) Magico The Martens are excellent all around speakers, both the Duo line and the Parker line. I could live with either. Focal has a house sound that is not for everyone. The are noticeably more "al... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. I'd be interested to hear your impressions with the new arm all set up and after some time listening. I had a Classic 1 and decided to get out rather than chasing up the VPI line (to be fair, I already owned two and was looking for something diff... | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable Nice review of the Harmony. It's a great turntable that I have been very happy with over the last three or so months that I have owned it. I stuck with the Acoustic Signature tonearm on mine and really like it. I wanted as close to set and forg... | |
| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? I jumped on the Zen Stream early, so mine came with the iPower included. Mine uses a wired ethernet connection and I use it exclusively in Roon Mode feeding a Chord Qutest DAC (which has an SBooster). I haven't gone crazy comparing and contrasti... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. I got out of the VPI parade last year, so my opinion is that no matter what you change in the VPI universe the house sound is kind of the house sound. A little more of this vs a little more of that. If you like the Classic 2, stay with your curr... | |
| Which amp to use with Linear Tube Audio pre? I have been playing with the LTA Mirozotl preamp paired with the McGary SA-1E amplifier and it's an excellent combination. | |
| LP12 Hum I used to own a Naim Supernait 3 and I know that Naim can be a bear with grounding issues. I had to run a wire from the Supernait's ground to the grounding prong on the plug to make it go away. | |
| Technics 1200G VS VPI Prime Signature Interesting thread, I too would strongly lean to the Technics given the choice. I have owned two VPIs--a Scoutmaster (which I hated) and the original Classic (much less hate). I really didn't like the tonearm on either and recently got out of th... | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time PRAT is like the old definition of pornography, I know it when I see (hear) it. I agree with many of the comments that you can kill it in the audio chain, but for me, if the source doesn't have it you won't pick it up down the chain. I slipped a... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? Greg at Volti used to do a little demo that was based on his work fixing older KHorns. He would just speak through one of the KHorn assemblies and then speak through one of his versions. It was a pretty startling comparison, the original sounded... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? @ladok If you are seriously looking at the Zu stuff, I would use a little caution. As mentioned elsewhere, people either love them or hate them. I've only heard them at shows and as much as I want to like them, I never do. I am going to hear a ... | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company It's been a while since anyone posted in this thread so I thought an update might be in order. I have a pair of Volti Audio Rival SEs paired with a Linear Tube Audio Z40 integrated amp in the main part of my basement that I absolutely love, but I... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? @facten The room is basically 13'x23'. They will be set up on the short wall about 6' into the room. | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? It all really comes down to personal taste. I've only heard Zu and Tekton at shows so I don't have much to offer on those. I've owned Forte IIIs and have upgraded those to Volti Razz and from the Razz to Volti Rivals. I wrote a quick review for... |
