| MSB vs dCS Bartok I think dcs Bartok offers ridiculously good value in the crowded price bracket it’s situated itself in. If I had the good fortune to be considering a dac, I would also be considering the aforementioned Bricasti dac as well perhaps the Berkeley Aud... | |
| The new amplifiers is getting warmer and hot Because the cpu for the video processor runs 100% unless you have it on economy mode. Most of the excess heat comes from the video processor. There will be a small patch on the top of the chassis that is much warmer, hot even, if you’re watching a... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil A1 versus A2 Upgrade My suggestion to you is to get a new dac. | |
| McIntosh MA8900 DAC.....What chipset? Surprised that its an ESS! Very good dac. | |
| 2 way, which are the best designs? Jbl 4367 | |
| McIntosh MA8900 DAC.....What chipset? I believe it's a TI/Burr Brown chip. Could also be ESS or AKM, but doubtful it's anything fancy like an Analog Devices. | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? under 10k, get integrated, close or above 10k, get power amp, and then preamp later, or both at same time if you can afford. | |
| Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ? The benefit is clear to me. It’s to add an air of lustre and mysteriousness to the brand. The North American distributor is simply is indulging them. It’s definetly a good match for them.I’m actually aware of the cultural differences in Japan and ... | |

| Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ? I will share a story that I had while I was searching for my new power amplifier to buy. This happened about 3 weeks ago. I wanted Accuphase E-800 but cost is $21,000 USD. I call my local store that sells Accuphase (just 10 minutes from me, Planet... | |
| Pass Labs XA-25 on all the time? I always left my XA30.5 on! So yeah, keep it on. | |
| Nagra Classic Integrated Amp? The seperate is much better. You can get most of Nagra house sound, which is very natural, smooth, but powerful and defined by simply adding the Classic preamp into the chain. I heard Nagra pre with Bryston amplification of all things and it was a... | |
| Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 vs Mark Levinson 585.5 Make sure you get a price on the lower end of their going rate, under $6k ideally. I know the 585.5 is technically a few years older than the 5805 that preceded it, but imo, the build quality on the 585.5 is far superior. | |
| New House speaker recommendations I think those speakers will work fine in your room. Set them up on the 10 foot long wall, 2 feet into the room 7 feet apart, and 1.5 feet from the side walls, and sit 7 feet away. You'll be in the golden spot of the room for best sound. I really d... | |
