| Puritan psm156 vs Bryston bit20/torus rm20 ? Hi, We have not. For what its worth, we have had two clients recently trade in their Puritan PSM156 for the Shunyata Research Gemini Model-8. They both did their own A/B trial and ended up trading in their Puritan for the Gemini-8. Cheers! | |
| An Excellent (Moderately priced) tube integrated for QLN prestige 3 Speakers Axpona 2023 The Qualiton A75 with the KT-150 tubes is a really good match with the P3s. I put a link to the 2023 Axpona where we showed the P3s with the A75. There are a few reviewer quotes listed in the report. Cheers! | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @bluethinker Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad you are enjoying the upgrade, give it a week or so and it should really start singing. We have had a few trade ins for Merason DACs in the last couple of weeks. One was particular DAC was almos... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? @mofojo "You think a 2 way speaker with a 6-7 inch woofer/mid is gonna be good for rock or metal? Maybe at 75db but not much more than that and sound full and impactful." Actually yes, Led Zeppelin, Stones, Rush, ACDC, Nugent, Metallica, Van Hal... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Hi mikhailark Best of luck on your quest! I'm surprised no one has mentioned the QLN Prestige Three. This is a very non-fatiguing speaker that works well with all music. We also just started carrying Accuphase and there is definitely synergy b... | |
| Accuphase e-280 Review Thanks all for the comments and feedback. To clarify, this is not meant to be an ad or an overly glowing review - just sharing what we found to be the sound signature and what living with an Accuphase is like. Showing all the warts - we had a sp... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k We demo a lot of DAC's for customers/home trials and they always choose the Mola Tambaqui. It is truly a DAC that competes with more expensive converters. I cannot say I agree with comments saying it isn't musical, it is very much so. However, the... | |
| All in One Solution for Streaming Do not forget Hegel! Their integrated amplifiers have good DAC's and onboard streaming They can do Spotify, Tidal, Roon, AIrplay, etc. | |
| Aurender N200 - DAC compatability We are a an Aurender dealer. I have had a couple of DAC's that did not jive with the Aurender at first. However, their support team can help. Also, Aurender should be able to play DSD up to 128 Check this link out: https://ask.aurender.com/hc/en-... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @ricco275 @facten Yes, that would be the fastest way to make sure. @ricco275 Thanks for sharing the update of the changes with the new preamp. Your findings are concordant with what I have observed over the last couple of years, especially sin... | |
| Metner MA3 vs Playback Designs MPD-6 We sell the MA3, however not the Playback Designs. The Meitner is extremely smooth, very detailed and has a wide soundstage. The upconvert to DSD, the fullness of the sound, and instrument separation are top notch. Very good build quality, volume ... | |
| 15k for streamer and dac....how much on each? @audiocanada lots of opinions on this. We’re a dealer in Minnesota and are really passionate about digital audio. We love all sources but things have gotten so good on the digital front that there are some amazing options out there. That said, we ... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @ricco275 It's not really a fair comparison until you get a decent dedicated streamer. The renderer module from MSB is quite good for the price tag. You would probably need a streamer the quality level of the Innuos Pulse, Aurender N200, et... | |
| Aurenda and Tidal and Qobuz connect We are Aurender dealers. Agreed with @tvad on their support. It is excellent. If it helps here is a link to the information they will need when you contact them. They may remote in and configure a fix for you, and get you up and running in no time... | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? We are late to the party on this post but I wanted to share this because Audionet is not a household name. We picked up the Audionet line last summer and it has done nothing but impress the heck up of me. This is just my opinion, but I’m putti... |
