| Odd DAC Pricing You’re also in an economy that higher priced items sit longer so maybe that has something to do with it as well. I would agree on the age of the design and 40% discount wouldn’t be abnormal, you also don’t know what they actually paid for it. 30... | |
| Loudspeaker designer/manufacturer John DeVore shows reviewer Ken Micallef his system. @jasonbourne71 Another comment just to post and stir the pot with no backup just opinion. I have heard all 3 of the RM amps listed as my close audio friends in my area have owned them and used as references in their systems in the past. They wer... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 My buddy uses the Prima Luna Evo integrated amp with his(my old) Forte IV’s and it sounds pretty damn good. I changed the stock tubes out for NOS Mullard EL34 XF2’s and the sound improved nicely. I am not a fan of the Cary amps that I have tried... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. I am not a fan at all of ASR, I posted some push back when a lot of the reviewers/users knock higher priced gear by saying a $250 dac is “State of the Art” and better based on it’s measurements, I was subsequently band from the site… | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS Go find an Audio Note dac or SW1X dac and you will be set. Good Luck Don | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? I have plenty of dynamics, no roll off at frequency extremes with my Tron 211 amplifier used with my Mhorn speakers rated at 93db. I easily get sound in the 90db+ in my 15x18 listening area. It’s all about speaker matching and how well the amplif... | |
| Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204 I had the 204 and it is definitely better with the upgraded power supply, I used the S-Booster with mine. Good luck, Merry Christmas… | |
| Starting my showroom again I have a good friend of mine that’s had a in house retail business and online as well. He switched from higher priced gear to lower mid-fi gear and has not seen any pickup from making the change. He made an attempt to sell unique lower priced tu... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. These open ended questions will get you the answers you are receiving. What are you using to drive your speakers? I run 93db MHorn Mummy’s with a 12w Tron 211 amp and 17w Miyajima OTL’s in my room which is about the same size as yours and have ple... | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? Type in Setup and some tracks will show up with test tones in Qobuz. Good Luck | |
| Is all the hype warranted I used the lower powered amps from them and thought they were average at best, not a lot of $$$ so don’t expect world class sound. I much prefer the traditional SET tubes like 2a3,45 or 300b to theirs. | |

| Music server recommendations needed. I had a Roon server and replaced it with the Esoteric N-05 and that’s what started my Streamer merry go round. I will keep my Evo432 Aeon Mk iii until I find something more than marginally better. | |
| Music server recommendations needed. I don’t know the Audiotroy person but I do know he has taken a lot of abuse on these forums. I have a 432Evo Aeon Mkiii and it is an exceptional streamer/Roon Core. I have owned the Inuous Zentih, Antipodes S30/S60, Sonare Signature Rendu, Esote... | |
