| Scansonic MB-2.5B vs Sonus Faber Lumina III These two will have completely different presentations, and your current electronics and listening preferences should be the biggest influences in the decision. The Scansonic MB-B series to me is an incredible speaker for the money. They have a ... | |
| Speakers for Michi X3? @auroravengeance Great suggestions on the Audiovector and Kaya 25. I heard Audiovector at AXPONA thus year and was impressed as well. | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. Thank you for sharing! This is a topic I bave been helping my direct community and customers to better understand. It’s nice to have a thorough explanation that is worth sharing around. | |
| Speakers for Michi X3? In full disclosure, I am an authorized dealer for T+A, but I would encourage you to look into the T+A Talis S 300. They fall right into your budget and fit your parameters sonically, but perhaps in an unconventional way. They are made with aluminu... | |
| iOS wired thru decent DAC vs BS Node 2i alone The Node is very pleasing and convenient as an all-in-one, but a DAC like the one you mention above and a good USB cable will outperform it. The 2i uses a Burr-Brown chip and does not provide much quality with regards to noise reduction or quality... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno Also, if price is a concern, the Signature SE tend to hit the market used at the $4-5K range. The Legacy Calibre is another option. It is a large monitor that plays like a small to medium floorstander and goes down to 38hz at +/-2db. | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno @tmac1700 If you’re planning to keep the Coda amps, best to go with speakers that will pair well with them that are versatile enough to handle the music uou I quire about. I can think of no speaker better than one by Legacy Audio. Depending on roo... | |
| Best Value/Performance In An SACD Player For $2k, Or Less, Used? For a more modern unit, I can highly recommend the Yamaha CD-S2100, which will often pop up on the used market for less than $2K. The transport is very sturdy and stable, and the built-in DAC is very musical. It can even allow for other digital so... | |
| Synergistic Atmospheric Euphoria vs Atmosphere UEF Level 3 Balanced Interconnects @billandsol Yes, the Euphoria is absolutely better than the UEF 3. I have “graduated myself” over the years from UEF Level 2 to 3 to 4, then to Euphoria and now Galileo SX. The UEF Level 3 is very good for the money, but if you can swing it, I fi... | |
| Prices here and on ebay.....what do you notice/think? There is reason for the price increases, which are not necessarily justified. As we know, both Covid and the war in Ukraine have slowed both supply chain and production of new components. Major shippers are also regularly backed up due to resource... | |

| Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound @oddiofyl your statement of “you could do a lot worse than Bluesound” is absolutely right. I think for the most part, Bluesound will get you farthest for the money. But it does have its performance limits which are much more audible on high resolu... | |
| New High End Audio Dealer in Midwest Thank you @jjss49, hopefully I can fit the bill for that. | |
| New High End Audio Dealer in Midwest @kren0006 You’ve made a number of very thoughtful manufacturer suggestions, thank you. I actually haven’t heard the Fyne speakers personally, though I am intrigued by some of them when I see them on the market. |
