| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 @ronboco If you don’t understand or didn’t know that your gear plays a HUGE role in soundstage depth and width (regardless of the room) then you owe it to yourself to find a store or a fellow audiophile who can demonstrate the affect using differe... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 All these conflicting and opposite perceptions of these DACs (and some others) should give you a good idea that you will have to make the determination on your own with YOUR gear! You have NO idea what associated gear all these responders have and... | |
| Can a system sound too Holographic? There is Zero chance what your friend describes is the result of a ‘Footer’ change! There just isn’t that much of an affect that comes from isolation unless it was SO bad before that his system surely wasn’t ‘holographic’ to begin with!! Tweaks ar... | |
| Salk Future TBD @mlsstl You hit the nail on the head!! If all these people on here think it easy and logical to buy a speaker company, they should throw their hat in the ring and give it a go! There’s a saying in racing that if you want to make a small fortune, s... | |
| Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences 😂 Someone please explain to me the insane notion that ‘Cable Breakin’ exists!!…. | |
| Made the Move and Not looking back! It seems that the comments about Roon should be separated into those using the Roon DSP and those only using the Hi-rez files (native). Without going thru their (questionable) DSP engine, Roon (to my knowledge) is only finding the file>extracti... | |
| My Final System Build in Words & Pictures @bigtwin For your platforms you should look into Constrained Layer Damping as a construction method using a Polyurethane as the Damping layer. I use the technique to build speaker cabinets and the result is a quite inert structure. I also make foo... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated The answer is more simple than many are making it seem. Price is absolutely a great indicator of performance! Very few expensive products perform poorly, but that does not guarantee that a lower priced product won't perform equally as well. To d... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 Wow!!! There are SOOOOO many great DACs on the market these days and most peoples suggestions are solid (not the Marantz suggestion!). The only real way to decide is to audition multiple options (preferably in your one setup) and decide what ‘you’... | |
| How do you assess a DAC? I would definitely put Innous products on your list of standalone Streamers. I would also put Denafrips products on your shortlist of standalone DACs. The Teac UD701N will embarrass many $5K DACs and Streamers and put a few $10K DAC/Streamers on n... | |
| What does Nominal Impedance mean? @ozzy it is rare that a large cabinet speaker is also not sensitive. The reason for the large cabinet is to increase its efficiency and thereby sensitivity. Small speakers are typically more difficult to drive and require greater power to overcome... | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. My suggestion to the OP, is to go find a highend Audio retail shop (not Magnolia!!) and see if what you have stacks up to some top notch gear! If so, keep what you have, if not, you have some decisions to make. 😉 | |
| Compact Floor-standing Speaker Recommendations under $4k A little off topic, but is it just me or do others not get the Klipsch sound (because many models are within the OP’s range)?! I owned them and listened to them many times and I have never come away thinking they were anything more than a speaker ... | |
| Schiit yggdrasil + Less Is More vs. Denafrips Pontus II @carlsbad2 Not sure why you would consider the Pontus overhyped especially for the price. The more direct competitor to your Dave (which I personally am not a fan of) is the Terminator 12th. All the Denafrips DACs represent excellent value and pe... | |
| speaker cables under 1k for Harbeth 30.2XD? @mihorn Whats their secret?! There are a LOT of companies working on this problem, so what is their secret sauce?! |
