| The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf JBL LSR708i | |
| Room correction - what device works best? Avoid room correction. | |
| Speaker wire/cables opinion Experiment with DIY silver wire. the cheap 999 purity sounds amazing. Try the different awgs. Bass lines needs to be thicker than the high frequency lines. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps I got the Klipsch 280F (2015 design) with Pass Lab amps, it is incredible value. | |
| Goertz still the choice with Vandersteen? Try the 999 silver wire from rio grande, I have no need to worry about cables anymore. I even switched my xlr over to that as well. The only thing you need to care about is the awg. Now I can focus on the rest of the chain. | |
| Personal speaker evolution KEF LS50 and R700. I'm now using the RP-280F.KEF got sweeter mids and better sound stage, but my 30watt amp's not powerful enough for it... Klipsch is just so much more dynamic and interestingly, more clarity at the top end. | |
| Personal speaker evolution Pioneer -> Klipsch -> KEF -> KEF -> Klipsch | |
| Bookshelf speakers for $500ish No recommendations, but go with modern wave guide designs. They are just so much more dynamic and less demanding of components. | |
| Goertz still the choice with Vandersteen? Goertz sounded awesome for the bass, I find that they don't sound quite right for the high frequencies though. DIY silver cable is the way to go there. | |
| Slow Down, You Move too Fast diy silver cable is the way to go | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? Also, the DS really need a data only USB cable or a USB card that can cut off the power. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC ?? Waiting on reviews, so far, early impressions have been mixed to slightly negative, which does not bode well. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC If you don't like upsampling then you should try a NOS DAC instead. | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? One thing to note about the DirectStream is that it's very sensitive to USB input quality, which is odd for such a expensive DAC... On Windows, you pretty much have to use jplay 6 and then it will sound like the reviewer's rating, it's amazing. Wi... | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? Why are there that many for sale? Because PS Audio sold 10-100X the amount of DACs as the other players. |
