| Replace Ayre Codex with QB-9 DSD? I had an AX7e a while back. Isn’t there a tape loop or something that’s mutes the unit? I remember something similar and it was my error.best of luck | |
| Replace Ayre Codex with Topping D90 DAC Ayre is super easy to get hold of. Very responsive bunch. I think you should buy the Topping and do a shootout! Where is the Topping made? | |
| Sold My Ayre QB-9 DSD - Help Me Choose A New DAC! I've decided going to go with the Ayre Twenty upgrade. The Orchid sounded interesting to me too but so many that praise it highly also recommended other gear that I've had that was disappointing. So many different tastes in audio. I'll pick up ... | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less @Audioconnection, any idea how the QB-9 Twenty upgrade sounds in comparison to the Codex? I'm considering the Twenty upgrade to my Ayre that's worked flawlessly since 2009. | |
| Really need some help finding a full range speaker Verity Parsifal encore is a great used value. I owned a pair in maple they are very nicely finished too. | |
| Sold My Ayre QB-9 DSD - Help Me Choose A New DAC! I was an early QB-9 customer and have been very happy with the dac. I didn't send it in for the DSD upgrade but am considering the Twenty upgrade for $1500.I'm interested in hearing from those that have heard the Twenty upgrade in comparison to o... | |
| Need speaker cable I bought a pair of speaker cables from a guy Bill on this site that makes them. Can’t recall his moniker but they’re nicely terminated and sound great. They’re not as transparent as the Nordost Frey 2 that they replaced but they were like $300. I’... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? I wouldn’t use a Chinese product as a boat anchor if I could help it. I don’t want to get into all the reasons- I know there are good people everywhere - just helps me breath easier. Sometimes it’s nearly impossible to avoid, I understand that- ... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 vs 3400 Have you heard either, or any amps in the category? I tried the 2170 after the rave reviews from the threads on the audio sites. I should say that trying gear out is part of the hobby and fun for me. I should have stuck with my gut that most o... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! We have Chain Pickerel in Mass, similar to Pike and Musky. I'm not familiar with Walleye but they very much resemble the salt water Striped Bass but are not closely related. I can't tell you in if a cable has 200 hundred or 800 hours on it but I... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? I went with monitors on stands and they took up the exact footprint as the floor standers. Next you are adding 2 subs to take up additional space and trying to integrate them properly. That can be a challenge but can work fine. Now I I have flo... | |
| Nordost Red Dawn 2 I've had many pair of Nordost Cables. At points I've had full looms of Frey 2 and Valhalla 2. The way they fold them over at the termination makes me scratch my head. As tablejockey said, they need to be adjusted. IMO Nordost makes good produc... | |
| Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d Anyone hear the F35 from Black Ice Audio, Jolida Company. With how attractive it is it must sound good. 🤪 | |
| 300B SET or EL34 SET Plga just curious which class d amp is blown away by the LM tube amp? My experience has been less than positive with class d. Even super quality high priced class d amps like SPEC tend to get less play time in my setup. Mastersound makes a nice ... | |
| Considering Moving to an Integrated, Opinions Appreciated I would listen to the Lack of response regarding the Lyngdorf. It was a hit a few seasons ago but I know several of the people that spoke highly of them have sold them off. I found the 2170 to be dull and contrived and was never drawn to music w... |
