| Meitner MA-3 vs Lampizator Baltic 4 One needs to audition at home equipment of interest. Everyone has an opinion and often not based on data. @delm, agreed! Comparing internals is not the best way to compare components, at least when you factor in the magic (in my opinion) insi... | |
| Parasound to Pass Upgrade @m_j_s thanks! Reason I’m asking is I have a relatively small room and my XA30.8 doesn’t get hot enough to affect it. Worried about having a space heater there as it would suck in summer months… I've owned both the X250.8 and XA30.8 in my small... | |
| Accuphase E5000 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 @rfc, how big is your room and how loud do you listen? Unless you are filling a very big room or play your music at concert levels, you might not need so much power with the Spendors. I've got D9s and in a 12x17 room and driving them with a Pas... | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? often folks who want to ’rock out’ are seeking a degree of sizzle, rasp and other forms of sonic distortion that very refined transducers simply do not add to the sound they play... unless of course, said distortion is in the music signal itself.... | |
| New Class D amplifiers I wouldn't ever even begin to believe that what I prefer in audio components would have any relevance for others. @kuribo, really? Then why do you continue to post your recommendations on Class D amplification and ridicule those who choose t... | |
| New Class D amplifiers I have no personal agenda, other than to call out over priced, under performing products when I see them. more further proof that audio is full of insecure, status seekers who like to spend extravagant amounts of money on products to assuage ... | |
| New Class D amplifiers but unlike many others, they are based on facts. Show me a GaN amp other than Orchard’s product that performs as well as Hypex or Purifi. Show me a $5000 class d amp that performs 5X better than the $1000 class d amps using Hypex or Purifi mod... | |
| New Class D amplifiers No rational reason whatsoever, from a performance standpoint, to spend $5000 and more for a class d amp. Of course if someone wants to spend $4000 for a flashy case to get performance that can be beaten by a $1000 Hypex or Purifi amp, it's their ... | |
| New Class D amplifiers I most recall from my brief time with them, which left me wanting more air and sparkle. But that’s my ears, my system, of course. @wrm57, yea that is one of the differences I heard between the AtmaSphere and the XA30.8. I found the Pass to o... | |
| New Class D amplifiers @wrm57, I just sold my Pass XA30.8 after purchasing the AtmaSphere Monos. I like a few things better with each amp, and more than not I find they sounded pretty similar. Of all the other SS amps I've tried against my Pass amps I find the AtmaSph... | |
| Streaming Dac $5000-8000 A used Meitner MA3 will fit your price range and primary requirements. It has integrated Roon streaming. I've owned the Sim 380DSD which I really liked, the Bricasti M3 MDX which I liked but found it leaner/more-analytical than the older and le... | |
| Recommend A New DAC Between $1000 and $2000 +1 for the Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, and more specifically the Less is More version. I've not heard the other variants of the Yggy but purchased a LIM after reading many of its reviews. My current DAC is the Meitner MA3 and my previous was a Mojo A... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing After about 6 months of owning both the Class D Monos and my Pass XA30.8, I've finally settled on an amp, and recently listed my Pass. I love the Pass but the two are so similar sounding to me, with a few minor weakness/strengths relative to ea... | |
| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today I've owned both the M3 and MA3. I sold the M3 after a few months but still own the MA3. Personally I find the MA3 another level up on the M3, it is also a lot more expensive too and I've experienced that the differences between DACs relativ... | |
| CJ 140lm monos vs pass x350.8 If you can demo the AtmaSphere GaNFET monos, you might find that they hit that middle ground you are looking for. I had a X250.8 and replaced it with an XA30.8 after selling my power hungry Magicos. I found the XA30.8 had more of the ’midrange and... |
