| My new Borresen X3's Been breaking in a pair of X3 for 30 days and maybe 120hrs of actual 70-85db of volume level thru them. Borresen claims 500 hrs of break in for full performance. I have them sitting on Townshend Siesmic Podiums which will take any speaker to anot... | |
| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui Congrats on your system. Burmiester and the Vivids go hand in hand. I see you have podiums on the Vivids. I am on my second set of them. What percentage bump did you feel they gave you? I think they are a great value for the increase in Sq. I re... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions Did ANYONE hear any imaging issues with the Borresens? Anything strange? I heard something quite definitive during every audition (3X). I have been breaking in a pair of X3 for about 30 days. Little frustrating at first as the center image h... | |
| Word Clock Cable Upgrade Harmonic Technolgies make nice cables that won’t kill you. Copper about 110 and Silver around 160 . Easily resold if you don’t appreciate the bump | |
| UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST DAC T+A Dac 200. Step up from the Bricasti M3 in my system. Big open sound. Can add an HDMI card and decode blu ray audio and SACD. 5k is the previously owned price. Unmatched customer service. | |
| Amp for Persona B Speakers I have a Coda CSiB with Persons 5F’s Once dialed in with proper cabling it’s pretty damn good!! | |
| Jay’s Audio CD Transport @ja_kub_sz Noticed you have a Dac 200 sitting there. How do you like it vs the Aero? I like LTA stuff so imagine their Dac is no different. I just added the Teac 701t to go with the Dac 200 and really like it. | |
| Looking for comparisons between CD transports ‘If your transport sounds better than streaming it is the fault of the streamer.’ George you have a system that most of us will never get to . Your Aurender is what over 20k? Congrats on working your ass off to get to that level I have had e... | |
| Looking for comparisons between CD transports I just installed a 701t to go with the T+A Dac 200. Kills my streaming setup which I thought was pretty good. Black background. Tone and definition. As oddiofyl mentioned this is a a leap from the Oppo 103 that I had “tried out” with the Dac 200. ... | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? Plus one on the HT cables. Depending on your system you may want to look at their silver cable. Big step up in resolution and transparency. Should be around 150-160 to your door. | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system You might want to look at something different than your T2. I had one for a bit and loved 8 out of 10 tracks but really got tiresome after a bit. The Cary 600 or 700 will sound much better or a Bricasti M3 w/network card will sound much fuller sou... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! Swapped back the Smooth Lan after the EtherRegen and much better . Just as mentioned earlier the thread. I had it after when I first got it but only gave it a few hrs.in that position. Between the Puron and the Smooth Lan for under 500 bucks broug... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Too bad no American dealers. 250 to ship back to China. I bought a 005 and unfortunately did not work in my system where a Bricasti M3 played much better. Learned the hard way when returning the unit. | |
| Relaxed/Analog sounding DAC for under $10k (used or new) Loving the T+A Dac 200. 5 k on the resell side. Detailed but easy to listen to and that’s with Be tweeters and midrange in my Persona f5. Really shines feeding it DSD but PCM sounds great too. | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! Didn’t think there would be much break in,but after 24 hrs I am really liking what I am hearing. Very well rounded improvement |
