| Seeking to Upgrade Subwoofer from SVS SB2000 I use 2 Rel 510s with my Martin Logan 11A Impressions. You might get some used nearer your budget? I have also had great success with diy subs. | |
| Streamer recommendations MU2 is a lower price than the Bartok | |
| Streamer recommendations The MU1 excellent. I compared it to the Innuos statement at the time of purchase. The MU2 has a DAC as well. | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction I owned one of the original Dartzeel NHB pre amps which I bought 2nd hand, it was about 4yrs old with the built in phono. I was going to get it upgraded to V2 or trade it in for a new one but there was a very long wait time, due to part shortages ... | |
| Subwoofer Advice Hi I have a pair of Martin Logan ESL 11A speakers and use them with 2x Rel 510 subs sited along side the ESLs. This arrangement works really well in my medium sized room. | |
| Are all streamers the same? I have built several PC servers - the most recent being a 2box one with a paul hynes PSU. It sounds considerably better than the earlier builds easily challenging my vinyl for sound quality. Recently obtained a Grimm MU1 which is better again, the... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes With my ML ESL 11a speakers, I use an audionet V2 amp 250 amps into 8ohm 450 into 2ohms. Works well for me. Tried a premluna tube power amp, preferred the solid state. I think you need to try a few differnt amps to find the sound you enjoy. | |

| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k I had a Lampizator Golden Gate, the sound could be tailored by tube rolling. I now have the Mola Mola coupled with a Grimm MU1 streamer which soubd tremendous. The streamer is as important as the DAC. | |
| 15k for streamer and dac....how much on each? You could get a Grimm MU2 streamer/DAC. I have the streamer only and it is excellent. | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC If you are looking for something warmish, sweet even then Lampizator can produce excellent results. I had a play back designs MPS 5 sacd/dac which was replaced with a Lampizator golden gate, much better. The GG was tunable with different valve c... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? The DAC is important, however improving the streamer/source I think is just as important. I have owned a few DACs and they all sounded different but all were improved when supplied with a better digital supply. | |
| Do I buy an upscale TT? I had a Kuzma XL Dc, 2 arms, 4pt and ref 313 , various carts including an atlas. It was my ultimate TT , carefully isolated, it sounded great. Along the way I built a sophisticated streamer coupled with a lampizator dac and it sounded as good, so... | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? I found the quality of the streamer used made a huge difference to my digital set up. Moving away from a standard mac or windows computer/laptop was a big improvement. |
