| Coda Csib V1 Integrated amp My CSIB does a nice job with the Persona 5f's. I just moved to a T + A Dac 200 and the Coda shines even brighter. V1 also and 150 watts fill my 27x17x10 room with plenty to spare. Unless you are filling a ballroom or really, really tough speakers... | |
| Quite a few Bricasti M21 DACs for sale cheap The Grimm Mu2 is getting a lot of chatter. You may see some Bricasti owners going that way. | |
| Best monoblock amps for $2000 used Yepper on Odyssey. I sold my top of the line Kismet monos a year ago and still kicking myself in the ass. Try to score a pair in the Stratos cases. You can do more upgrades than in the Khartago cases. As good as they are re-sale is very affordable... | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer Glad to hear you are ditching the classic cable that comes with the Puritan. It is average at the very best . You are going to get a serious upgrade with any kind of good quality 20amp PC. The Ultimate PC is just as good as the classic is bad. | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers @cheche9 sweet system. Tube and solid state. Congrats again. It takes a long time to put together a system that synergizes no matter how good the equipment is. Now to find some new music to listen to!! | |
| Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions 😁 Just ordered 2 Purons to go along with the HF 0.5 that I already have. Did not notice a huge uptick with the 0.5 but I have all new dedicated circuits with dual ground rod etc. Wasnt hurting so I just kept them anyways. Hoping for a little more fr... | |
| Help me pick some new or used speaker cables Townshend Fractal F1. They will work with you on price. Fantastic cable and a big step up from the Cardas and and incremental improvement from the Silversmith. The Fideliums are definitely the best bang for the buck in speaker cables | |
| AGD Tempo in the house Please let me clear this up. I bought 2 Tempo’s from Mike with a 30 day trial in Nov of 2022. I ran them bridged They sounded good but did not have the grunt and stage as Odyssey Kismet reference monos so I sent them back to Mike within two wee... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers Congrats, what’s the rest of your setup? Room? | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice Melco’s Ethernet out sounds much better than it’s USB. Great filtering too.. | |
| Cary DMS 700 vs Aurender A300 Great financing also on the Cary | |
| Cary DMS 700 vs Aurender A300 I had a Aurender A100, Cary 600,700 and a Lumin T2 so maybe I can help. The Aurender and the Cary both use AKM chips. While the T2 uses the Sabre chips You can’t beat the Cary for features. Wireless,Bluetooth, can be used just as a streamer, SD ... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice I wish I could recommend the Mutec Nano to you but unless you are going to seriously upgrade with an outboard LPS you will be disappointed . Sent mine back. Keep it simple with a good dedicated streamer from Lumin, Rose, etc. you can always upgr... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers mijostyn I guess you never heard them? Please listen then come back to post. love your setup and you definitely love music/audio so the only thing I can think is you never heard them. Their X series are great value for an entry level high end sp... | |
| Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's +1 on the Townshend. Game changer and very easy to adjust the rake angle on the speaker. I adjusted the Persona 5F a few degrees up and really opened up the stage and speakers really fill a 27 ft long room |
