| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I've only heard superlative reviews for the Bakoon products, would love to hear one. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @charles1dad What's crazy is that Nelson not only makes the commercial First Watt amps, but also releases (for free) additional FW-like designs for the diy community. I was just reading about a single-ended 8W SIT amp that he's going to release ... | |
| Tube amp Friendly Speaker That Sounds like Klipsch Cornwall @hoosierinohio Very nice analogies! Keep up the good work... | |
| Benefit of a Newer (Used) DAC - "Bang for the Buck?" As always, just look for items you can home demo, or buy used so that you don't take a loss upon resale. If you're set on buying a new dac, I'd recommend trying to hear as many contenders as possible in your own system. Especially with the pande... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I find my 94db/1w/1m, 8ohm speakers somewhat limiting in terms of amplification. Plenty of people do, but I don't think I'll ever move beyond the 25W/channel I currently use. Watts may be cheap, but if I'm dumping funds into amplification, I'd s... | |
| Benefit of a Newer (Used) DAC - "Bang for the Buck?" I'm not really trying to sell that dac, just noting that you may or may not find anything new an upgrade. Defintely don't assume it'll sound better just because it's based on a new chip. I'd look for a good power supply first if I were guessing ab... | |
| Benefit of a Newer (Used) DAC - "Bang for the Buck?" Tough to say. I use a (new) R2R dac with an obsolete Analog Designs AD1865N-K chip. I've found this unit (an Audio Mirror Tubadour IIIse) to outperform a number of modern dacs including things like the PS Audio Directstream and Matrix X-Sabre Pr... | |
| Tube amp Friendly Speaker That Sounds like Klipsch Cornwall I got on to mention Tannoy, so add a +1 if you're keeping a tally. | |
| Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat "If you do post anything useful, its ability to have any positive impact is neutered by the accompanying condescension." | |
| Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat @audio2design You kill the usefulness of every thread you participate in with claims of superiority and otherwise irrelevant commentary. If you do post anything useful, its ability to have any positive impact is neutered by the accompanying conde... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? Or maybe I’m just depressed and angry about watching all my dreams die over the past 5 years (except for building a high-end system). I guess I'll never know which it is... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? I made my account in 2005. The simple truth is that this place has been getting worse for at least the past five years. More bickering and cock fighting and less community, cooperation, and enjoyment. Unfortunately the constant efforts by vario... | |
| My system is ... well, not ready @mijostyn You should use Musou Black on your walls! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6q54q2iam8http:// | |
| High Frequency Oscillation hurt resistors in Magico A5 crossovers Wouldn't be a 2020/21 audiogon thread if at least two participants didn't actively search for ways to fight with one another. I wish I could say that I found such behavior entertaining, but honestly it just sucks the joy out of this place.Anyway,... | |
| Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment This discussion does make me feel better about my decision to avoid USB as a streamer > dac interface. Thanks for that... |
