| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. Thanks guys,My post was no attempt to write a formal review but rather an impression of its performance relative to a know highly regarded reference such as the Bricasti SE. If the additionof the Singxer SU-1 provides even modest improvement the... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. Hi George, Regarding the fuse comment, I write what I hear, thus my "take it as you like " for the skeptical. We’ve gone over this before on another thread and I just say that we will continue to "respectfully" disagree and leave it there. If yo... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. A good friend of mine received the Holo Spring DAC a few weeks ago and has accumulated just over 300 hours in his bedroom system. He invited me over today to hear it in his primary system. Which is comprised of computer-Bricasti SE DAC-Absolare Al... | |
| Bottlehead vs. Audionote Kits Both companies have earned very good reputations for support and value as well as good sound. The Audio Note is more expensive and for good reasons in my opinion. The chassis is larger and heavier to accommodate the big and high quality transforme... | |
| Genuine Kondo??? Al, The FBI could sure use your investigative acumen these days 😊Charles | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 Bruce,Your sonic description of the Boenicke W5 is consistent with what others who have heard them report (exceptionally high sound quality). It’s the timeless quality vs quantity debate. The value of an audio product is judged individually and r... | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 Hello Dentdog,I trust your ears and judgement. Same with other Zu owners whom I hold in high regard. Germanboxers, 213 Cobra,gsm (gary) Spiritofmusic. You'd think that once or twice out of 5 listening encounters they'd sound reasonably good, not y... | |
| Found Music Blade Amplifiers Yep,Power amplifiers can impact the sound quality of an audio system quite significantly as I’ve witness over the years. Sometimes in forum discussions the amp is underappreciated in comparison to the speakers. Of course speakers can have substant... | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 Well I don't know what facts you are referring to. Anyway I've stated my viewpoint, Gawbless simply posted listening impressions of a speaker that sounded very good to him at RMAF. His post was interesting and insightful. It's really nothing more... | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 Mapman,Yes yours is a rant, Gawbless is stating a more logical point and observation. At least that how the comments come across to me. Larger is not better by default, no way. It clearly depends on one’s needs and desires. This seems a simple and... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia Roxy,Given that you want to drive 86 db speakers then the Line Magnetic 508 (45 watt 805 tubed SET) could be the ticket Roxy my 300b SET has elevated my listening involvement to an entirely different level as you attest to with your similar experi... | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 Gawbless,The wisdom of the reviewer is evident given some of the responses here and is why I found his assessment so on the mark. Such strong opinion stated without any listening whatsoever. To look at a speaker's size and then assume so much isn'... | |
| Found Music Blade Amplifiers The Found Music amplifier displaced the esteemed Einstein amplifier, this move says a lot IMO.Charles, | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia Roxy mentioned that he has a 2nd pair of speakers that are less efficient so the higher powered LM amplifier would be an advantage. In terms of more efficient and sensitive speakers the comparison of LM 845 and AN Kit 300b becomes very compellin... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs. 518ia Roxy,I agree that Melody and Line Magnetic are examples of high quality Chinese products. They dispell the idea that everything from China is by default 2nd rate junk. There's a hierarchy there as in other countries. Charles, |
