BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
I fell in love with PBN a few years ago and never turned back. Started with a pair of used Montanas. Then after appreciating the high effort and full range sound I upgraded to the M1!5’s.  The Sensitivity of: 94dB/2.83V/1M makes these shine at any... 
Am I crazy to upgrade?
Short answer- ABU - Always Be Upgrading!!   Great plan  
Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible?
lol I just hooked it up last week and my friend who went to tubes gave me these. They’re good and I’ll find out. Post how you make out with the 000.  Curious if I just got lucky   
Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible?
Pinout 000 worked for me with Denafrips and left and right were fin as well as sound 1st shot out…. I questioned which clocks light need to be on in order to use the DDC clock which I’m assuming is better than the internal clock? Denafrips Gaia&... 
Do you have a perfect digital marriage?
Well it’s all subjective and what one hears someone else may not but here goes. sonic transporter i5 (gen3)> signature redu se> Denafrips DDC Gaia > Denafrips Terminator II (12th)   Cables matter… cables matter  believe the hype it chan... 
Focal Sopra 2’s vs. Legacy Focus SE’s
Well after about a year these speakers have just gotten better and better. They are probably not fully broken in but shine already. I and a friend have many pair of PBNs for sale. If anyone has an interest reach out. Great speakers and priced well  
Qobuz and Tidal comparison
Agreed and no drop out issues.  I’d still lol at the fact that maybe they have higher resolution and your equipment and streaming needs to handle that …  This is only an option   
Qobuz and Tidal comparison
I have both also and find differences depending on the recording. Some Tidal tracks sound better but for the most part I lean to Qubuz more often. Regarding drop outs; I’d look more at your streaming source and internet connection. Are you streami... 
Denafrips Terminator 12th vs. 15th DAC
Well after to a long listening session tonight and no disrespect to them as they have a great product; they need to be clear on the upgrades or we will go “smoke and mirrors “. But no difference between 12-15?? Lol  
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
If you want to pay 30k for used then look for used speakers online.  Email some retailers for demo models  should be pretty easy to find $30,000 speakers used   
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
Now didn’t you open up Pandoras Box ! Lol speakers always become fabulous threads with amazing talking point. That’s why we all love this great hobby That being said; I’ll give my comments. I also did some searching about 2 years ago. I loved th... 
Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ?
Hey a tidbit of fun facts . I know we’ve talked about highs and lows and breakin periods for bass …. Denafrips DACs love Boz Scaggs recordings and will show off any bass you thought you never had.  Play a few tracks and let me know your thoughts ... 
Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ?
Wow that’s great information and thank you.  I do feel better knowing that non of those specs will affect my listening as  Distortion levels that low mean nothing at my listening levels and overall basically the same component    this hobby is a s... 
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
I’ve got the Terminator “12th” and it gets better and better.   It’s been 4 months and the sound opens up and bass gets deeper and tighter as it breaks in. I’m still wondering what the spec differences are between that and the 15th.  It’s now on t... 
Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ?
I will contact Alvin later and try to get a solid answer. We’re all curious here
