| 2024 Audio System Wish List My wish list in no particular order: Second REL S/812 Farad or Sean Jacobs LPS for M Scaler to complement my SJ DC4/ARC6 DAVE LPSU Beginning room treatment (I know…but they’re so ugly) Super-tweeters for my Tannoy Kensingtons Upgrade to Tr... | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? Thanks for the thoughtful input. Here are the responses to how you would spend my next $5K. Seems a clear consensus between room acoustics and second sub. Special kudos to those who said they would spend my $5K on their system. lol Second sub... | |
| DAVE w/ or w/out M Scaler? @cio52 I’ve watched that video. My DAVE/M SCALER are connected through the OPTO/SX which has an BNC/optical interface between DAVE and M SCALER. Do you think this is the type of optical connection he was referring to? | |
| DAVE w/ or w/out M Scaler? @shkong78 Do you use a Farad on the M Scaler or just the DAVE? I’m interested in how FARAD or SJ would affect M Scaler. I had a Teddy Pardo on my HMS but heard very little affect and am now back to the HMS’ SMPS. | |
| DAVE w/ or w/out M Scaler? Since my earlier post about DAVE/M Scaler (which added resolution to the DAVE), I have added Sean Jacobs’ DC4/ARC6 LPSU which takes the DAVE/HMS to an entirely different level. “Transformational” is the word I use to describe the improvement. Ri... | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? @hysteve Thanks. I got a both USB and NET used, elsewise would not likely have sprung. NET seemed to make a bigger difference although that may be because I got it first. Deeper blacks. A more “settled/relaxed sound” and somehow a better grip o... | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? @elliottbnewcombjr correct via toslink to m scaler | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? @grislybutter lol | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? Helpful comments, thanks. I could say that the Kensingtons and S/812 don’t fully pressurize my 15’x21’ space, though I’ve made some recent improvement in dialing in the sub. Interestingly, my small bedroom (10’x12’) NAIM UNITI ATOM/Tannnoy... | |
| Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations I second Pathos hybrid InPol design. My Heritage MKii is integrated and is my endgame. Rock solid bass and air mids and highs. I’d assume their hybrid separates are of equal quality. Worth a listen. Especially sublime with my Tannoy Kensingtons.... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps @jfrmusic worth every pound, dollar and euro! lol | |
| Handling Heavy Amps I’m in the same situation with a Pathos Heritage MKii integrated weighing almost 180lbs. Whenever it comes or goes for delivery or moving, I hire a guy from Dolly or Taskrabbit. Costs $100 for a hour but I’ve had good success. Moving slightly fo... | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio +1 for Upscale and Pathos sales and service! Great experience on several purchases including Pathos after sales service. Two very fine companies. | |
| REL Hum. Stumped Had a similar issue with my S/812. For some reason on AC in my duplex outlet caused a hum. The other did not. REL suggested running an RCA (assuming you are using high and not low connection?) to my integrated. That helped as well. N... |
