| Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II I have the Pontus ll and it’s been great. I’ve thought about getting the Iris or the Venus ll and I’m leaning towards the DDC, I haven’t been in a huge hurry because the Pontus ll sounds really good in my system. All the best. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... +1 that speaker designers have different ideas of what the perfect sound is. | |
| ARC Q's Wasn’t the LS-25 the last one to use 6922’s? | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 @roxy54 Having never owned a First Watt or Pass Lab amp, owning one or at least hearing one has been on my list as well. Kind of sad that the F7 didn’t work for you. At 25 watts a side, it would have been my first choice as well. | |
| Songs that can be streamed at higher Res @djones51 It’s funny you mentioned Abbey Road, because I’m kinda a Beatles fanboy and already have the the 50th Anniversary set. Giles Martin did a great job on this remaster. The Beatles remastered their entire catalog in 2009-10 and it was mos... | |
| Songs that can be streamed at higher Res @ghdprentice @lalitk I have 3+ months free left and then Qobuz and or Tidal. Why so both of you say Qobuz? Why are they that much better than Tidal? | |
| Songs that can be streamed at higher Res @lalitk I am enjoying it very much, but have already found several albums that ain’t there! | |
| Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed! I have the N130 and it sounds great. Although the first thing I had to do was turn off the volume control in the app. It made a huge difference in the sound quality. All the best. | |
| Something on top of a speaker=okay? No, something small and light won’t make and difference and neither will a little cat and dog hair on the grills. | |
| PS Audio BHK 600 PS Audio, puts out several levels of equipment. Some I can afford and some I can’t, but all sound pretty darn good. I would love to hear the 600’s. If they are anything like the 300’s, they should sell well for their price point. | |
| Can you vote on this song, 1 being brilliant, 5 being crap It’s beautiful. 1. | |
| Two audio components no one really talks about I have two systems, the first is in a bad room with some treatments and the second is in an okay room with just a little conditioning. The speakers are different, the amps are different the preamps are different, most of the wires are different, t... | |
| Why do so many people have problems with bass? In general I’m pretty happy with my current setup, but I wish there was a way to make album compression more uniform. (I’m not sure if compression is the correct word) So I am a Bill Evans fanboy. A nice simple jazz trio. Piano, drums and upright... | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @baclagg Other than that one peak in the 40+ range, yout graphs look pretty good. Question, are your speakers rear ported? My KEF’s have 2 rear ports and a couple of different “Tuned” inserts to change the bass characteristics. Back in history, ... | |
| Less Is Really More - Schiit's New Yggdrasil DAC - Less Is More Thanks for the Yiggy review. I have an original Bifrost and it sounds good. I also have a Denifrips Pontus ll and it sounds way better when A/B’d. I would be very interested in hearing a review comparing the Yggdrasil to let’s say the Denifrips ... |
