| Bricasti M3 Not a review, but a little bit of commentary on the sound of the m3: https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/55857-bricasti-model-3-dac/ | |
| Speakers under $5000 maintained a reputation for quality sound over the last 15 years. Fun thread. I like looking for consensus. | |
| Chord Dave Replacement @timo62 Can you tell me the difference between upscaling and upsampling? Thanks. | |
| Bridging an amplifier @almarg As always, thanks so much for your teaching. Now I finally understand why the first watt f4 manual is written the way it is. "As a stereo amplifier with single-ended inputs and outputs, it will deliver up to 25 watts into 8 ohms with a dam... | |
| Balanced Tube Preamp Recommendations for $2000 I think some Suprateks have balanced outputs, don't think they're full differential though. | |
| Orchid vs TUBADOUR III - Help me choose @martin-andersen Any comparisons to the Chord and the Directstream (even if by memory)? | |
| Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years @kosst_amojan Definitely, that's a win. Congrats! | |
| Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years Over the past decade I've used or demo'd a variety of Pass products during my speaker/amp journey... Thiel 2.4s (Classe CAP-151, McIntosh MC402, Pass X250.5, Pass XA30.5... eventually settled on a Pass INT-30A), Coincident Super Eclipse IIIs (Pas... | |
| Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks... @noble100 lol & +1 | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? @waltersalas I did not buy his amplifier. I am curious, but I ended up building my own First Watt F4 (25W class A, zero negative feedback). Since upgrading from Coincident Super Eclipse IIIs to Pure Reference Extremes, I’ve been trying to better m... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? @markusthenaimnut Great to hear. Based in part on this conversation, I bought a Don Sachs (still in queue), but I'll certainly consider Supratek if I end up moving on... please update the thread as you get more time with the unit. | |
| Bricasti M3 I haven't even been able to find a single review out there. Weird. | |
| Replacing caps on crossovers? @bache My speakers (Coincident PREs) only have a single capacitor that filters the tweeter. I've tried three separate caps on that tweeter and they all sound different. Replacing the stock Solen for a Jupiter was a significant upgrade. Will pro... | |
| $500-$1000 DAP vs tablet and dac for 2 channel home use? recommendations? What digital audio player do you have in mind?I've never seen anyone using a tablet physically connected to a dac. I do use one to send tidal content to my dac over Ethernet (using the bubbleupnp player). In that case, the tablet has absolutely ze... | |
| Swapping capacitors I use wago lever nuts and solder into place once a decision's been made... may have to add an extra wire, but its super useful. https://www.amazon.com/Wago-221-413-LEVER-NUTS-Conductor-Connectors/dp/B017NQWDY4/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_60_bs_t_1?_encoding=... |
