| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @viethluu The mid-range of the Aquarius is definitely better than the Hugo2. Much more focus and clearly defined vocal. The Chord Hugo2 is a little bit more blurry in comparison. This is a major factor IMO. 80-90% of the music is in the midra... | |
| A rookie with 10K, seeking advise @david_ten It's easy to recommend better speakers. As long as you love looking into a dirty, unkempt room (in this specific case with everything else held static). Take your Wharfedale speakers to any well executed system that is amp appropria... | |
| $4000 BUGDET - YOU ONLY HAVE 2 CHOICES - YOUR FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED @soix Do you really think the OP wants to burn tubes watching TV? C’mon. Obviously you make a very good point. Who wants to waste tubes performing HT duties? To be fair, I believe that @glennewdick was focusing on extracting maximum sound qu... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Call me old school but I don't want my digital signal enhanced in any way, I want to hear what comes directly off the CD or file or stream. I share the same mindset and perspective. There is a huge DAC marketplace with many choices and one can ... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @phusis Sounds to me like you’re hitting the right notes, so to speak, from your descriptions. I have had this SET set up since 2009 and can honestly say that I appreciate it more than ever.😊 | |
| $4000 BUGDET - YOU ONLY HAVE 2 CHOICES - YOUR FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED @glennewdick Very sensible and well reasoned advice. Charles | |

| Has anyone bought the Psvane Acme 300B Vacuum Tube? Good comments! These premium tier 300bs are all excellent In my experience. Yet, each will match better with some amplifiers/circuits than others. Very individualistic process. Charles | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns Per usual in audio, no absolute winners, wouldn't expect anything else. Agree 100% Why the “need” to always have to crown and declare an absolute and undisputed winner. I’ve never found this to be the reality in High End audio. @jjss49 you... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I believe that @jjss49 gave his totally honest impression of two very fine DACs. I also believe that @lordmelton did the exact same. There’s nothing surprising that they reach somewhat different perspectives. This is what I’d expect e when compari... | |
| Basic question about power/watts @ghdprentice +1, good counsel. Charles | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @mijostyn You are dogmatic and presumptuous in your dialogue. Let's just agree that you and I have very different experiences and perspective and leave it there. We both have found over the course of time what hast proven to satisfy our respect... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @phusis No, SET’s for when they make sense; with high to very high sensitivity speakers to take advantage of the less than 1 watt where the distortion levels found in these amps are extremely low here, just like with the speakers they’re... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @jfuquay After decades of close listening, what if you learn you prefer a low-sensitivity speaker, like Magnepan in my case? Then I say you find the electronics to drive it and just enjoy it Pure logic and experience clearly confirms this. St... | |
| Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply? But how do we know that it’s better, and not just ‘feel’ like it is better? It would be great if we knew how to This is why I am an advocate of listening. My Pro-Ject RS2T CD transport comes with a SMPS wall wart. I have to say well implem... |
