| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? Very helpful, thanks | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? @soix I'd be interested in hearing what improvements moving up to a better R2R or NOS bring. Dynamics? Detail? Focus? | |

| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions @lonemountain No it was huge like a barn. But speakers were off to one side as I recall. | |
| 15 in full range drivers @zagorskia I see this is a paper cone. Is there any coating on it? C37 lacquer Used this on my untreated paper cone F-R. Figured I had nothing to loose as the breakups made it un-listenable. Had it shipped from Austria. Put on 1 coat and sti... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results @gdaddy1 I tried those Harrison attenuators a while back and they killed the sound. Well that kills that idea. People on Amazon said different ;) Not sure about Paul McGowen. I would like to know what he or some other guru thinks. | |

| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results He said he likes the volume knob UP around 2 to 3 o’clock position. He said the higher volume position has a "HUGE" impact on the resolution/sound. How the heck can you accomplish this volume position? Harrison Labs 12 dB RCA Line Level Audio ... | |
| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions @lonemountain Why would they sound boxy and not open? Maybe there is another reason then. Soundstaging was not so good on the active 100’s I heard. Like Naim, part of the "flat earth audio" sound? You are a "US Importer/Distributor of ATC Co... | |
| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions pair of ATC's at John's and they sounded sort of boxy to my ears. Not very open or layered so that is what I look for to begin with. @bigkidz very well said. I think it has to do with the dome midrange. Detailed and uncompressed dynamics are ... | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? All other variables being the same, not necessarily. IMHO, long term is more about deciding on preferences, not figuring out how something sounds. Sometime... | |
