| Benefit of a Newer (Used) DAC - "Bang for the Buck?" I own a Topping and it is quiet, high clarity very dynamic, no rolloff. I paid 630 for it with price match and 2 year warranty. Apos Audio has several brands. 30 day return policy. Schiit is another company. Starting at less than $200. Their... | |
| Klipsch speaker choices Hi i am the OP and love the sound of my CS B. I bought the complete speakers from him. However a different midhorn made from wood looked interesting. The tractrix horn lets some cabinet resonance interfere. I wish i had the expertise, a very high ... | |
| JBL 4349 or Klipsch Cornwall IV Xa25 with Cornwall 4. Perfect. Wilson is completely different sound if you are used to horns. I feel laid back and distant. IMO | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? Buying habits have changed. We stay home and music is easier on the ears than TV. i am sure they are busy. They sell equipment that performs way above the price point. All their literature states use email. This is much lower cost and all iss... | |

| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? I suspect that the Vandersteen, being hard to drive, have low impedance dips that your amp may not like. Also a moderate priced DAC and streamer would help. For budget purposes, you could spend about $1000 on a streamer and DAC. And find a Cla... | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Since my thread got kick started, I will comment on my thread and D90. I have had it nearly a year and have listened to it about 300 hours. I upgraded my amp to a Pass XA25. I still use the D90 connected directly to my amp. I have horn speakers. I... | |
| Living room system: class A or AB amps? Turn on the AC and enjoy the music. Those are quite nice speakers that justify good amplification at big cost. Heat may be hard to avoid and Class D may not sound right. | |
| An old favorite, not played for some time, and just pulled out..still superb This has been happening for a year since I rekindled my setup and got a streaming service!! Recently, it has been Curtis Mayfield "Superfly". Great sounding production also. Also listened to Glen Miller "In the Digital Mood" Really fun stuff. ... | |
| Your favorite 'concept' album I like Tool "Laterallus" It is much easier to follow after you see them do the album in it's entirety. I could repeat many others and it makes me want to revisit many of the albums here. Great topic and great answers | |
| How old are you? Oh the days when, in my humble 100,000 size town had dealers for Magnaplaner, Quattre, Ampzilla, Carver, Audio Research, Classe, B&W, Rotel to name a few. Then there was a 20 year time lapse. Now i am a Rennaissance(sp) Man with a new setup ... | |

| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab @dtximages. Most satisfying system I ever heard: Klipschorns with an old Accuphase receiver. Such an effortless beautiful sound. | |
| Amplifier warm up The Pass XA25 uses 240 watts at on/standby. I can't see $20-35 a month in extra power usage. I usually turn it on ahead of time and it does sound better after warm up. Some components need to get to 50C to sound right. | |
| Unbelievable 3-D imaging sound Awesome, we all like our audio nirvana. I have not heard ML. Since you mentioned rap music and you have such a large room. What SPL do you listen at?You could get a nice DAC from 500-2000 but you mentioned very good imaging and if you feel it i... |
