| Playback designs MPD-3 vs Ayon Skylla I have heard both the MPD3 and MPD5 against an Ayon. I own the MPD3 and my friend owns the MPD5 and Ayon.Via DSD both the PD's are supreme - nothing touches them to my ears. However via PCM its another matter. Through the PD PCM is OK but to my an... | |
| How Many People Here Know About Lenehan Speakers Koobla its exactly like I said in my post - I live real close to them, go there all the time to hear their stuff, and own a lot of their gear. I do not work for them, receive any kickbacks, or get commission. Because of that I am most certainly bi... | |
| KEF LS50 Yea heard them against some much more expensive and obviously better stuff along with a number of fellow audiophiles. Very clear, real and present especially in the midrange. Everyone that heard them liked them. The issue is feed them something co... | |
| Audiophilleo vs Empirical audio offramp I have compared both into the Metrum Octave. The Off-Ramp is clearly better but the Audiophellio is better value. Of the people I have demoed it to its 50-50 if they think its worth the extra dosh.ThanksBill | |
| Will my McIntosh MC 205- Power B&W 802 Diamonds? Basically - yes - and without question.ThanksBill | |
| DEQX - TACT - QOL - Thoughts on these? The first response was spot on.There are a couple of issues though. The very best passive crossovers still outperform it - but only the very best. The DAC's in the device are not the highest quality - but you can add external DAC's - however at a ... | |
| i am looking to replace my Krell with tube amps, Hi ChrisAuditioning is the only answer.If you do not play highly dynamic music and stick to music valve amps shine on I at one time even used an 8W amp SET - (Trafomatic Experience 2) on some 87db speakers no problem so power is not really an issu... | |
| Opposite of Thiel Theil's mate nail everything to my ears - with one exception - a bit analytical and clinical - not what I would call musical. But they are oh so transparent and you can correct those problems to some extent - but only to some extent - with tube up... | |
| Rockport Avior vs. Marten Coltrane vs. Kharma Midi These are very high end speakers and my experience is such speakers are designed for ultimate sonics and not ease of driving. However I know a person with the Rockports, he posts under the name of Willco here in Aus, and he drives them with all so... | |
| i am looking to replace my Krell with tube amps, The two best amps I have heard are a valve and a high powered digital. Valve amps shine on vocals; Dianna Krall, Sinatra, Adele all sound divine. I was with a guy who had never really heard a valve amp before and we played some of that stuff on th... | |
| Magico VS Daedalus VS Marten VS Spendor You are spending a significant amount of money so really you must hear them even if it means doing some travel to a place that stocks them.I would also look into Rockport speakers as well - personally I think they are better than those on your lis... | |
| Magico V3 with tubed amplification, will it work ? 'What does 100% overrated mean? They are always overrated by every person who comments on them? Or, every aspect of every Magico speaker is overrated, or something else? Please explain your comment, Mountain-high.'Magico is a very expensive speake... | |
| What speakers sound as good as Sonus Faber What sounds better is to some extent a personal preference. To my ears Sonus Faber sounds a bit polite and overly refined - I like my speakers more dynamic and in your face eg Lenehan Audio and Rockport.Disclaimer: I live close to Lenehan Audio, v... | |
| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... 'Documentroom.... with all due respect there are folks here and on WBF that have stated that the Micro's sound better than many other brands, price no object.'One thing I do feel compelled to point out about the Micro is the cost seems to going up... | |
| Playback Designs I just want to post I concur with Doggie.Via DSD to my ears the Playback Designs is simply the best source I have heard - clearly better than the very good PCM1704 DAC I own, a PDX, that to my ears is better than the Ayon. But via PCM I prefer the... |
